Judge Declares Dog Involved In Attack Dangerous And Must Be Euthanized

The Canadian Press, 06 Aug, 2015 11:26 AM
    KELOWNA, B.C. — A B.C. judge has ruled that a dog that attacked another pup is dangerous and needs to be euthanized.
     
    Two off-leash dogs attacked another dog in Peachland on Jan. 1, puncturing its lung.
     
    The injured pup — a Lhasa Apso-Wheaton Terrier named Charley — was put down later that day.
     
    Judge Anne Wallace has ruled that both dogs involved in the attack are dangerous, but only one — a Presa Canario named Jake — needs to be euthanized.
     
    She says Jake is a grave danger to other dogs and will seriously injure or kill them if he is loose around them, and the only way to prevent that is to euthanize him.
     
    Wallace says the other dog — a pitbull named Buddy — can be returned to its owner under several conditions, including that the dog is taken to training.
