On Tuesday, Queens District RCMP along with Charlottetown Humane Society Animal Control investigated an incident where a rescue pit bull mix-breed broke free from its owner and attacked and killed a Manchester Terrier walking with it’s family in New Argyle Shore, Long Creek.
The dog was voluntarily forfeited to the Humane Society and will undergo an assessment to determine the dog’s behaviour and risk to community. The RCMP says that because the dog was an out-of-province rescue and new to its owner, it is important for the assessment to be completed. If the assessment determines that the animal is unsafe for the community it will be ordered humanely euthanized.
