A dog belonging to Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott will remain at the Collin County animal shelter until a hearing is held to determine whether it is a dangerous animal.

The American Staffordshire terrier was seized by animal-services officers Feb. 25 after it escaped from Prescott's Frisco home and bit a woman.

The woman called authorities shortly before 11 a.m. that day when she saw a loose dog fighting her dog through a fence in her yard near Hilton Head Lane and Princess Caroline Court. She then went outside and saw that there were two loose dogs.

One of them bit her while she tried to break up the fracas. She was taken to a hospital for treatment of injuries that weren't considered life-threatening.

Authorities were able to capture the loose dogs, which had escaped Prescott's home through an open door. The dog that bit the woman was taken to the animal shelter to be quarantined, while the other dog was returned to Prescott's home.

That quarantine was scheduled to be lifted Thursday morning, but the dog will remain at the shelter pending the outcome of the dangerous-dog hearing in Frisco Municipal Court.

Texas' Health and Safety Code says a "dangerous dog" is a dog that "makes an unprovoked attack on a person that causes bodily injury" outside of its enclosure or commits acts outside its enclosure that "cause a person to reasonably believe that the dog will attack and cause bodily injury."

If the court rules that the dog is dangerous, it must be registered with animal control and kept on a leash when outside of its enclosure, and Prescott must obtain liability insurance for it or show the ability to cover at least $100,000 in damages from a potential attack.

The court also could rule that the dog be euthanized if it determines that it caused serious bodily injury to the woman.

Frisco police did not release the name of the dog that was seized, but WFAA-TV (Channel 8) identified it as Icon.

Two other dogs that belong to Prescott, a pit bull named Legend and a French bulldog named The GOAT, appeared with the Cowboys quarterback last year in a commercial for Greek yogurt.

No charges have been filed in the incident. A Cowboys representative has previously declined to comment.
