A Toledo couple says their four month old puppy was mauled and killed by a neighbor's dogs. And they say they've been told by the Lucas County Dog Warden's office that there's nothing that can be done. The Dog Warden's office tells 13ABC that if a dog attacks another dog they can't be removed from the property as long as the owner keep them in a fence. But in this case, neighbors say the owner's fence didn't secure these dogs.

Ruby Watkins and her husband Anthony say they were in love with their four month old puppy Albus, when his life came to a tragic end. They told 13ABC that their neighbor's pit bull mix dogs mauled Albus to death while Anthony was walking the puppy last Thursday. Ruby explains that Anthony had just gotten into their yard, when two of the dogs barreled toward them. "He had Albus in the air, the one dog grabbed him out of his hands and the other dog was attacking him." From there she says her husband managed to get away from the other dog going after him. "He came in the house to get his phone to 911. By the time he got back outside and they had taken Albus across the street to their house. By the time he got out, our dog was gone."

Ruby made a police report and contacted the Dog Warden's office. They told Ruby they can't remove a dog from the house if the dog is contained, even though it's classified as dangerous. "They said they would have to surrender their dogs they can't just take the dogs, so my question was, so what happens if it's somebody's child?"

What's more there are no state restrictions on the number of dangerous dogs someone can own.

13ABC talked with the dogs owners. They wouldn't do an on-camera interview, but they tell us they have seven dogs.
