LAWNSIDE — Opinions are colliding about Buddy, the dog that survived a dragging incident in Camden County and continues his rehabilitation at a Burlington County animal shelter.

A new side of the story surfaced Friday evening, with the dog owner’s attorney characterizing the dragging of Buddy as a “foolish” accident.

On Sept. 5, Buddy was dragged behind owner William Jefferson’s car, stumbling and bleeding down Ashland Avenue in Lawnside, according to the state Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, Camden County Prosecutor’s Office and Jefferson’s attorney David Lipshutz.

But Lipshutz said his dog-loving client didn’t slam his car trunk door on Buddy’s leash before driving away from his Lawnside home, as alleged by the prosecutor’s office.
