Dog Attack,Edmonton,Father

The father of the victim expresses shock and disbelief as his son is fatally attacked by two dogs in their home. The dogs, which belonged to the father's roommate, have been euthanized.

The father of an 11-year-old boy killed in a dog attack in an Edmonton home says he never saw the two animals act aggressively towards people and saw no sign he should be worried.

“When I walked in, I thought I heard the dogs making a commotion. I saw a mess, and I didn’t know what I was looking at. I was just walking across the kitchen when I found him,” he said. Police said the medical examiner continues to investigate the manner of death but did not say whether the dogs’ owner would be charged. The medical examiner can classify manner of death as natural, accidental, homicide, suicide or undetermined.

Grist said one of those attacks involved a person who was actively playing with the dogs. He did not know the details of the other attack.
