CLOSER LOOK: ‘This dog is going to kill someone,’ warns mom of young girl bit in face
In cities and towns across Ontario — and at Queen’s Park and Parliament Hill — our journalists work for you. Their mission is to dig for answers and tell you what they find.
This new feature — ‘Closer Look’ — is a chance to hear directly from those reporters and editors. These conversations go beyond the headlines, helping viewers better understand how we gather the details that land in your local news feed.
On tonight's episode: When a dog attacks.
A Guelph mom is looking for some accountability after a neighbour's dog lunged at her nine-year-old daughter and bit her in the face.
The little girl needed four stitches in her left cheek.
Brianne Perna said she contacted the Guelph Humane Society, bylaw, public health, the legal clinic and the Landlord and Tenant Board, but has received few answers about what should happen to the dog and its owner.
“Nobody seems to care, and this dog is going to kill someone, and I'm just trying to stop that from happening,” she said.
