Aussie pop sensation Tones and I enjoyed a boozy night out in the US with friends on Wednesday evening, after her recent dog attack drama landed in court the same day in Australia.

The 32-year-old singer’s American bulldog ‘Boss’ escaped her $7million mansion on the Mornington Peninsula in November last year, and attacked and killed her neighbour’s pet Cavoodle. Boss was euthanised as a result. 

On Thursday, Dromana Magistrates’ Court ordered the singer, whose name is Toni Watson, to pay a $3000 fine and the council’s costs, The Herald Sun reported.

That same evening, Watson shared a clip to social media which captured her partying with her friends at a club.

The Melbourne-born singer was all smiles as she hugged a female friend and laughed when she quipped, ‘we are officially alcoholics’.

She captioned the clip with ‘my baby’s’. 

Watson’s dog was put down after he killed a cavoodle by biting it on the neck and refusing to let go.

The court heard that Watson’s neighbour, Wayne Schultz, was walking his two cavoodles when he spotted her chocolate Labrador Charlie stuck outside the electric gates.

He called out to Watson’s friend Tahlia as she arrived at the property and, as she opened the gate, Boss escaped, the magistrate heard.

Boss bit one of Mr Schultz’s cavoodles on the neck and would not let go.

Mr Schultz, Watson’s husband Jason ‘Jimmy’ Bedford and a bystander were forced to intervene and separate the two dogs.

The elderly cavoodle died as a result of its injuries.

 ‘The victim’s family are devastated by the loss of their family pet and the manner in which the dog died in front of them,’ prosecutor Colin McLean told the court.

Mr Schultz was injured, with a bite on his knee and a bruised eye. 

The stranger’s hand was fractured when he hit the bulldog while trying to separate the dogs.

Watson was at home in the shower at the time.

The court also heard that she wept with her neighbours on the night of the attack.

The neighbours reportedly didn’t accept her offer to pay for the cavoodle’s cremation due to the fact the dog was 17-years-old.

Daily Mail Australia has contacted Watson’s team for comment.

The pop star did not front court as she’s currently in the US recording an album but was represented by barrister Cameron Scott.

Mr Scott told the court the musician had accepted responsibility and took the matter ‘very seriously’.

She was ordered to pay a fine for failing to securely confine two dogs and for not re-registering the American bulldog.
