B.C. dog at centre of court case that lawyer calls ‘outrageous’

Enzo has now been held at the Langley Animal Protection Society for more than a year, as the Township of Langley is seeking legal authority to put him down.

A dog attack in Langley, B.C., is being fought in court with the dog’s owners denying they are responsible for the victim’s injuries.

“He is just the most loving, cuddling, gentle giant, honestly,” owner Amardeep Haer told Global News.

Her dog, Enzo, was part of the family, even getting his own birthday parties.

However, last year, Enzo was in the backyard with another dog who lives in the home when a contractor showed up unexpectedly.

“We fully saw our other dog latched on to the arm of the man, opposed to Enzo,” Haer said.

The man’s puncture wounds needed medical treatment.

But when the Township of Langley’s animal control people showed up a couple of months later, it was Enzo they came for, not the dog they say did the biting.

Haer said they told the animal control officers but they did not pay any attention.
