Fines for Toronto dog attack

Date Posted: 9 July 2012

Lake Macquarie City Council rangers will fine a Lake Macquarie dog owner after a dog attack on Sunday.

The incident occurred yesterday afternoon, when two rottweilers escaped from a yard and attacked a young boy and two bystanders. 

The owner of the rottweilers will be fined for the dog attack, having dogs uncontrolled in a public place, and having unregistered dogs.

The owner immediately agreed to euthanase the dogs.  That occurred last night.

Council had not received previous reports of incidents involving the two dogs.
