Escaped Akita attacks leashed dog

CONNECTICUT -- An Akita dog from 95 Indian Waters Road escaped from its property and attacked a leashed dog being walked on the street on Monday, Feb. 4.

The owner of the dog was issued an infraction of $167 for one count of nuisance and one count of roaming, according to New Canaan’s animal control officer.

The fence around the yard had not been closed properly, which is how the dog escaped, Animal Control Officer Maryann Kleinschmitt said.
