CBC
An Essex resident has been charged following a dog attack in town.
On Jan. 4 around 7 p.m., Essex County Ontario Provincial Police say they responded to a call where two dogs attacked another canine and its owner on Laird Avenue.
They say the victim was taken to hospital.
Police say both owner and dog had non-life-threatening injuries.
A 39-year-old from Essex was charged under the Dog Owners’ Liability Act with two counts of failing to prevent a dog from biting, attacking a person or domestic animal.
The accused is scheduled to appear in court although no date was given.
Police are reminding people that a dog owner should take “reasonable precautions” to prevent it from attacking a person or pet, or being a danger to the public.
“Please ensure that you can always maintain control of your dog to prevent any potential injuries to others or to the dog itself,” they said in a statement.
