5 dogs to be put down after attack in Ponteix
Five dogs have been ordered to be euthanized after they attacked three young teenagers in Ponteix without warning.
According to sentencing documents, the teens, two 13-year-old girls and a 14-year-old boy, were walking down the street in Ponteix together in June. When they walked past Robert Carpenter’s house the Labradors came at them.
A courtroom in Swift Current heard the boy took off on his bike to try to lure the dogs away from the girls. The dogs followed him and bit him on the leg when he ran into a friend’s home.
The girls tried to get away, but the dogs came back. One girl froze, while the other stepped back – and it’s the second girl the dogs attacked. She told court she tried to run, but the dogs knocked her down and bit her arms and legs.
