Eight months after a home health care worker was viciously attacked by a group of dogs while on the job in Plainfield, the town has decided four of those dogs.
CANTERBURY Lynne Denning doesn’t want your pity.
The 62-year-old Canterbury resident who barely survived a vicious 2014 dog attack in Plainfield is still petitioning for changes in animal owner laws, though she admits she’s getting tired.
“I look at myself and I don’t see the damage, just the age,” she said. “But I haven’t given up.”
On Dec. 3, 2014, Denning, then a home health aide working in a Plainfield home on Putnam Road, was mauled by dogs belonging to resident Jenna Allen. During a four-day bench trial of Allen she was later found guilty of first- and second-degree reckless endangerment and served 60 days in jail in Danielson Superior Court in May 2017, Denning testified that Allen’s dogs without warning lunged at her face before tearing at her torso and extremities.
