Couple awarded over €1,600 after husky attacks terrier in dog park

A couple who claimed their teacup Yorkshire terrier was attacked and injured by a husky in a dog run have been awarded €1,633 medical fees in the Dublin District Court.

Brendan Corcoran, of Grangeview Place, Clondalkin, Dublin, told the court that on May 12, 2012, he let his dog Molly run free in the designated area within Corkagh Park, Dublin.

He told his barrister Colm MacCarvill that after some time a “big dog” grabbed Molly and threw her in the air twice. Mr Corcoran chased the other dog away.
