A Houston, Texas, area woman is suing her neighbors after the plaintiff's four dogs - three pit pulls and a pit bull mix - broke into the neighbor's yard and killed their beagle.

Emerald White, the owner of the four dogs, is suing the Baker Family, owner of the deceased beagle, for $1 million, claiming that the beagle attacked White while she was trying to get her four dogs out of the yard.

"When I looked out the window, I saw my dog on her back, whimpering, and I saw two pit bulls attacking her," Tiffany Baker told news sources.

Her dog eventually gave up the fight, walked over to the side of their home and died.

White's dogs were not hurt, but her attorney says the beagle attacked White.

"The dog at that house attacked her, bit her, scratched her, injured her," said White's attorney Paul Houston Lavelle. "Her dogs attacked the beagle, when the dog started attacking her."

Steve Baker believes his dog never went on the offense and that she was only trying to stay alive. He believes White sued them because she received 16 citations after the attack.
