Dog attack

A volunteer at the Carbon County Animal Shelter, 63 Broad St., Nesquehoning, has filed suit for damages against the organization over a dog attack at the shelter. Noreen and Darvin Coffin, 2432 Hemlock Drive, Lehighton, filed the action, also naming an employee of the shelter, Zachary Thomas, as a defendant.

The suit states that Noreen Coffin arrived at the shelter on Sept. 17, 2019, to do volunteer work. When she arrived, Thomas was walking a pit bull dog named Parker. The suit states the dog was known to have vicious propensities, and was dangerous and prone to harm someone.

As she exited her vehicle and began to walk to the shelter, the dog jumped and snapped at her face. As a result she asked Thomas to take the dog away. The suit continues, “simultaneously and without warning whatsoever the dog viciously and brutally” attacked Coffin, causing serious injuries to her, which are detailed in the suit. Negligence is alleged and sought are damages on multiple counts in “excess of the sum requiring compulsory arbitration.”
