The dog responsible for attacking a 6-year-old girl has been euthanized and no charges will be laid in relation to the incident.
The dog was euthanized at the owner's request.
An investigation by City of Windsor bylaw enforcement determined that the young girl had come between two dogs that were fighting and one of the dogs turned on her.
“We found that this was a family dog that attacked a member of the extended family,” said Manager of By-Law Enforcement Bill Tetler in a release from the City of Windsor. “No charges were requested by the extended family, the dog was not a banned breed, and the family chose to euthanize their pet, so there’s no danger to anyone further.”
There was no past history with the dog, and a veterinarian examination determined the dog was a boxer mix breed.
