PORTLAND, Ore. (KATU) — The dogs that attacked and severely injured a woman near a homeless camp in North Portland last summer will stay in Multnomah County custody for another month.
A public hearing was held on Wednesday afternoon to decide whether to euthanize them.
The dogs’ owners asked for more time to find a lawyer. The county did not argue against it.
The judge asked the owner how much time was needed.
“I don’t know. I’m not asking for forever. I just want to be prepared properly for what’s going on. And I don’t think we’ve been given enough time to have that happen,” the owner said.
The victim, Mytoka Petry, also attended the hearing. Petry spent months recovering after losing her arm, an ear and nearly an eye.
The next court hearing is set for Feb. 19.
