But Sirois defense attorney argued his client had been bitten by the dog, and that Akita had a history of attacking and biting people. He submitted photos of an attack on Sirois son last month. We re dealing with an Akita who s extremely aggressive and got into a situation where he s defending himself, his family and his property and he did what he thought was right to make sure nobody else got hurt, attorney Thomas Gately said.
After he was released from custody, NBC10 Boston asked Sirois, Why would you shoot your dog?
Sirois had nothing to say as he left court, but multiple neighbors said they are concerned he was released.
