Owner of family pet that tore into 2-year-old in park could face prison

The owner of a roaming dog that mauled a 2-year-old girl in a Christchurch park is expected to be charged with an offence that can mean jail.

Animal control team leader Mark Vincent, of the Christchurch City Council, said the attack was a reminder that despite rules, regulations and surveillance by dog control officers, sometimes "dreadful attacks" still occurred.

The dog in this case was not on the council's Dangerous Dogs Register of about 180 dogs that had bitten or attacked a person.

"If you have a breed of dog that has a history of attacking people or other dogs, it would be sensible to take your dog to a dog training club or obedience school. And keep it on a leash when out in public." MORE>>

Yes sensible alright, but who wants a dog attacking another dog at a dog school (chuckle)
