00:00A pit bull with a big pink collar attacked a little rat terrier.
00:03The owner said it wasn't her dog anymore.
00:05She said she gave it away on Craigslist.
00:07But the dog was still chipped in her name, and the pink collar didn't make sense.
00:11Judge Judy didn't believe her.
00:13Here's the case.
00:14The plaintiff is Miss Davis.
00:15Her dog was attacked.
00:17The defendant is Miss Keese.
00:18She used to own the pit bull.
00:20On the morning of August 27th, Miss Davis was walking her rat terrier.
00:24They were almost home.
00:25A pit bull came out of nowhere from behind.
00:27It attacked her dog.
00:28Her dog was screaming.
00:30Miss Davis fell.
00:31Her insulin pump fell on the ground.
00:33Her dog got out of its harness and ran home.
00:35Miss Davis looked up and saw a young man holding the pit bull by its collar.
00:39A big pink collar.
00:40Two inches wide.
00:41She asked, is that your dog?
00:43He said no.
00:44He said, we'll take care of it.
00:45She left.
00:46She took her dog to the vet.
00:47The bill was $602.50.
00:50The pit bull was picked up by Animal Control.
00:52It was chipped.
00:53The chip was registered to Miss Keese.
00:55Animal Control called her the same day.
00:57Now, here's Miss Keese's story.
01:00She says her mother rescued the dog.
01:02Then, her mother couldn't take care of it.
01:04Miss Keese and her fiancé took the dog in.
01:06They had it chipped in her name.
01:08They got it vaccinated.
01:09Then, her landlord said no pit bulls allowed.
01:11So, she posted an ad on Craigslist on August 7th.
01:14She found a man named Michael.
01:16She gave him the dog.
01:17She says she is not the owner anymore.
01:19Judge Judy starts asking questions.
01:21She asks, if you got the dog from your mother on August 4th, why would you post an ad on
01:26Craigslist on August 7th?
01:28You hadn't even been notified by your landlord yet.
01:30Miss Keese says she talked to the apartment.
01:33They had a weight restriction.
01:34But her story keeps shifting.
01:36Then, Judge Judy asks the question that breaks everything open.
01:40Michael, who was buying an adult pit bull, does not keep a pink collar on it.
01:44Does that make sense to you?
01:45She looks at her bailiff, Officer Bird.
01:47He says, not really.
01:49Judge Judy says, no, it doesn't make sense.
01:52The truth Judge Judy sees is simple.
01:54The dog was still chipped in Miss Keese's name.
01:56She never transferred ownership properly.
01:58The pink collar was the collar she put on the dog.
02:01A man buying a pit bull wouldn't keep a pink collar on it.
02:04That means the dog was still hers.
02:06It got loose.
02:07It attacked.
02:08She is responsible.
02:09The punishment?
02:10Judgment for the plaintiff.
02:11Miss Keese has to pay the $602.50 vet bill.
02:15That's all.
02:16Step out.
