Lake Mathews rancher Chris Herron, whose tiny horse named "Bojangles" was killed two years ago, says he hopes the deal with the wolf-dog owner will encourage others to do a better job of keeping their animals penned up.
The Riverside Press-Enterprise says Herron sued Cesar Siordia for $65,000, which included $25,000 in punitive damages and $25,000 in lawyer fees. Trial was scheduled for March.
But the case was dismissed in November when both sides settled for $30,000.
Ranch workers saw Siordia's wolf-dogs eating Bojangles.
A ranch hand shot and killed one of the dogs and the other was euthanized.
Siordia was cited for violating the county leash law.
