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.
