Robert Tofeldt and Lucille Tofeldt v. Dianne Viruet-Reyes and Jose Hernandez: A Newington couple who were attacked by a pair of angry bullmastiff dogs was awarded $309,000 following a bench trial recently.

Around 2 p.m. on Sept. 17, 2010, Robert Tofeldt walked out of his barn when, according to his lawyer, he noticed a large shadow behind him. He was suddenly jumped by a large male bullmastiff from behind.
