Owner of dogs that viciously attacked Wilson County student in 2017 pleads guilty

The owner of dogs that viciously attacked a then-11-year-old Wilson County student in 2017 pleaded guilty Wednesday to one count of allowing dogs to run at large causing serious bodily injury.

Jamie C. Bosch was sentenced to one year of supervised probation, according to the district attorney’s office. Bosch can have her plea conviction expunged with successful completion of her probation, according to her attorney Jon Slager.

Isaac Bellfield was a Gladeville Elementary student who underwent multiple skin grafts and received hundreds of staples and stitches after the dog attack. Wilson County Sheriff’s Office and emergency management personnel described Isaac's injuries as among the worst they had seen inflicted by dogs.

Isaac, along with his mother Auguste Denton, spoke with The Tennessean after an 11-day hospital stay that included him receiving two pints of blood.

The attack occurred after Isaac got off a school bus and was on a long driveway going to his home, he said at the time. Isaac was approached by a smaller dog that he tried to shoo away and then two bigger dogs attacked.

"We wish for the continued recovery of the victim and hope that the provision in the agreement prohibiting indefinitely the defendant’s dog ownership ... will help to prevent this type of incident in the future," Assistant District Attorney Tom Swink said.

Efforts to reach Denton and Isaac were unsuccessful.

Bosch has restrictions on future dog ownership, but is allowed to keep a small terrier mix, according to the district attorney’s office.

“She absolutely regrets this happens, there was certainly no intent and she hates that this happened,” Slager said.

Both dogs who attacked Isaac were euthanized.
