Woman Faces Trial for Homicide After Her Dogs Mauled Her Friend's 6-Year-Old Grandson

The bench trial in Oregon opened for Koko Miller on charges including criminally negligent homicide related to a 2023 dog mauling that killed a 6-year-old boy.
Prosecutors argued the boy’s death was avoidable and predictable, citing the two dogs that attacked in Miller’s garage.
Miller’s attorney said she fought the dogs to protect the child and even retrieved a firearm during the attack.
The boy, Loyalty Scott, died at the scene after the garage attack in Portland’s Parkrose Heights neighborhood.
Two Great Dane–mastiff mixes were involved and euthanized; a third dog inside Miller’s home was not involved.
Loyalty Scott’s grandmother described a close relationship with Miller and said Scott loved the dogs.
Medical examiners reported extensive injuries including 25–50 cuts and fractures in the child’s face and neck.
The trial is part of ongoing coverage of crime, courts, and trials by PEOPLE and local outlets.
The case underscores responsibilities of dog owners to prevent harm and potential criminal charges.
