Police in suburban Dallas were called to a house in Frisco after one of Prescott's neighbor's saw a loose dog fighting with their dog through a fence and tried to intervene, according to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. The neighbor was bitten and treated at a local hospital for injuries that were not life-threatening.

Two dogs escaped from Prescott's home through an "unsecure door," police told the Star-Telegram, but only one of the animals, the one that bit the neighbor, was quarantined after the attack.

Prescott has posted pictures of two dogs on social media, but it’s unclear if either of the animals is responsible for the incident.
