Dog owners want restitution after boxer attacked

CONNECTICUT -- It was a quiet Friday for Maria Daddona. She was folding clothes in her Bunker Hill home when she heard a commotion from her two pet boxers in the yard.

She looked outside through an upstairs window to see two pit bulls that had wandered into her yard and attacked one of her dogs, Mimi, a pet that her husband, James, bought from a breeder in Massachusetts.
