The owner and caregiver of a dog that mauled an Aylmer toddler have both been ticketed for bylaw infractions and the owner has agreed to have the animal put down.
As detectives continued to investigate Tuesday whether a crime was committed, they reported that violations of the rules governing potentially dangerous dogs jumped to 216 last year from 120 in 2016.
Bites and aggressive attacks increased to 33 in 2017 from 24 the year before.
Cléothilde Lefebvre-Bergeron was pushing her two-year-old son, Hugo Giroux, in a stroller along rue Des Forages on Friday evening when the dog “came out of nowhere,” raced over to the child and attacked, she told this newspaper. She twice pulled the dog off the toddler before it fled, then screamed for help as she tried to stanch her son’s bleeding. Hugo needed stitches to his upper lip, cheek and wrist.
While the Outaouais SPCA quarantined the dog, investigators tracked down both the person who was looking after the dog when it left a yard and attacked the child and the dog’s owners, police said in a statement.
The dog’s owner signed an agreement to abandon the dog and consent to euthanasia, according to police, who also spoke to the child’s parents.
The SPCA confirmed that the dog qualifies as dangerous under the city’s bylaws and would quickly euthanize it, police said.
The dog’s keeper has been issued six tickets for violating bylaws that dogs have tags, be on a leash no more than two metres long while out of their pens, that domestic animals be under supervision, tied up or penned, and that no one can keep a dangerous dog in the city.
The keeper was also in breech of the rules that potentially dangerous dogs, which include pit-bull type breeds such as Staffordshire bull terriers and American Staffordshire bull terriers and those with “substantial physical characteristics of one of these breeds”, along with dogs that have bitten or been aggressive, be sterilized and identified with a microchip or tattoo.
The dog owner was issued two tickets for keeping a dog without a license and failing to have a potentially dangerous dog sterilized, vaccinated against rabies, identified with a microchip or tattoo, and having it pass a basic obedience course recognized by the city.
The owner could face further charges in relation to provisions regarding potentially dangerous dogs. They include travelling with only one such dog at a time, posting a sign warning of a dangerous dog at home, and keeping them out of city parks.
Under the bylaw, officials can go to court seeking a euthanasia order for any dog that bites or tries to bite or attack a person or animal causing injuries, shows signs of aggression like bared fangs, does not obey handlers and “by its nature, endangers the life of a person.”
