Judge rules that ‘dangerous’ Abbotsford pit bull be destroyed
A judge recently ordered a five-year-old Abbotsford pit bull to be euthanized after the dog was involved in a series of aggressive attacks – including one that was fatal – against other dogs.
The animal control officer for the Fraser Valley Regional District can apply to have a dog destroyed if it meets criteria that include that it has killed or seriously injured a person or domestic animal in a public place. The documents indicate that Bruno was being walked on a leash by a friend of his owner, when the smaller dog, which was tethered in its front yard, “came barking and lunging at Bruno.”Bruno grabbed the Jack Russell by the scruff of the neck, and the woman tried to break the dogs apart. Neighbours came running with shovels and hit Bruno, trying to get him to release the smaller dog.
• on Aug. 17, 2021, a man was walking his standard poodle and opened the steel door to his apartment building, when Bruno charged toward him and his dog. Bruno’s primary dog walker testified that he had been walking Bruno with a harness and leash, but the judge said video evidence showed the man “appeared to have poor control” of Bruno because he was carrying a large box at the same time. Bruno bit the poodle in the face, and it took two to three minutes to pry him off.
