5:04Now PlayingIn New York City, a Chihuahua named Penny was mauled by two pit bulls in an attack caught on camera. Bystanders rushed in to help, but Penny suffered serious injuries, including multiple puncture wounds and two six-inch gashes. Police told her owners they couldn’t take action because, under New York law, dogs are considered property, making the incident a civil matter. Now, state lawmakers are proposing "Penny's Law," which would criminalize negligent dog handling and penalize owners who flee the scene of an attack. Lauren Claus, Penny’s owner, has been desperately seeking justice, reaching out to the NYPD, Animal Control, the ASPCA and more. Until now, no agency had taken action. But the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office has assigned an assistant district attorney to review the case.
