Pit bull owner charged after dog attacks poodle

By

HAMILTON, Ont. – The owner of a pit bull which burst into a family’s home on Christmas morning and fatally injured their toy poodle has been charged.

The family was in their pyjamas when they answered the knock on the door from a 10 year old girl. The 80 pound dog subsequently burst inside and attacked the family pet.

The girl had found the pit bull wandering around and was looking for someone to call Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.

Despite spending $3,000 at the vet, the poodle Max had to be put down.

The pit bull’s owner could face a $10,000 fine or six months in jail if convicted under the Dog Owners’ Liability Act.

Meanwhile, the family plans to sue the dog’s owner in small claims court.
