Overview

  • Mornington Peninsula Shire Council imposed the penalty on May 29, ordering Watson to pay $3,000 plus $140 in costs.
  • Her American bulldog, Boss, escaped the Mount Eliza property in November 2024 and fatally attacked Wayne Schultz’s 17-year-old cavoodle.
  • Boss was euthanised after the incident, and Schultz suffered minor injuries while a passerby fractured a hand intervening.
  • Watson was overseas recording her upcoming album and did not appear in court for the hearing.
  • She offered to cover the cavoodle’s cremation but the neighbour declined her payment.
