Dog Fatally Attacks Terrier In Hoboken Park: Report

HOBOKEN, NJ — The owner of a Yorkshire Terrier is claiming that another canine mauled her pet to death at a Hoboken dog park earlier this month, a report says.

The incident took place around 6:30 p.m. on June 3 at Church Square Park when a pit bull attacked Patricia Enrico's terrier in the larger of the park’s enclosed dog runs, causing the animal fatal injuries, she told NJ.com.

According to a police report, the man walking the pit bull denied being responsible for the terrier’s fatal injuries, stating that the terrier was in a section of the park meant for larger dogs. But Enrico told NJ.com that there is no sign at the park that specifies small dogs must be contained in one run.

No charges have been filed in connection with the fatal attack. A city spokesperson said that there are no rules about what dog can use which section of the park, NJ.com reported. (Read the full article here)
