A pit bull in Saanich has been officially declared a "dangerous dog" by animal control services after it attacked three greyhounds at a park over the weekend.
One of those greyhounds is now fighting for its life after taking the brunt of the attack around 6:30 p.m. Sunday at Reynolds Park. "Basically his throat was ripped from chin to chest and was hanging loose," greyhound owner Tatiana Gregoryanz says.She says the unleashed pit bull lunged at her dogs from the bushes. Gregoryanz was also bitten on her arms, leaving her with bruises.The pit bull's owner is not currently facing any fines for the attack but Capital Regional District spokesperson Andy Orr says penalties are possible as the investigation progresses.
"He is still very much traumatized, hiding in the corner," Gregoryanz said Wednesday after the dog had undergone surgery. "But I have hope."
