Macon attorney, Veronica Brinson, defends pit bulls after attack

GEORGIA -- Veronica Brinson says her son's three pit bulls are not dangerous.

"I've not known these animals to be vicious," Brinson said, "I've not known these dogs killing any other dogs."


The three dogs are accused of killing a schnauzer, and biting its owners, Jose Munoz and his wife, Claudia Naranja, Monday morning.

"We are sympathetic to anybody generally harmed or generally injured, but we do want the complete facts to come out," Brinson said.

 

A report by the Bibb County Sheriff's office says after the initial attack, a neighbor said he saw Munoz return to the Brinson home twice.

The second time, the report says Munoz was carrying two knives and chased after the dogs.

The witness reported hearing yelping afterwards.

Brinson's son soon arrived on the scene.

"Whoever went on the scene with a knife and took the law in his hands, slashed Pearl, after the initial incident," said Brinson, "If Bryan had come on the scene just a little bit earlier, he could have directed his anger at my son."

Brinson's house on Brookfield drive is under renovation after a fire in June.

Although no one lives there right now, officials say the dogs were fenced in the backyard Monday morning.

Brinson says the dogs are well-attended.

  

"If they are not with Bryan, they're with family members, sometimes they are with me, it depends."

When asked, she did not give an exact location of where the dogs lived.

But after 13WMAZ's Sitarah Coote asked for more details on where the dogs are usually kept, Brinson had enough.

She said she appreciated the reporter and WMAZ for following up with her, before finishing the interview.

The Bibb County sheriff's office says they're still investigating the case, and have not decided whether anyone should be charged.
