A Witless Bay man is scheduled to return to Provincial Court next month to deal with a matter related to his neighbour allegedly being attacked by his dog.
On April 2, members of the Ferryland RCMP detachment responded to a report that a woman had been attacked and injured by an untethered dog on Gullies Road in Witless Bay. Officers investigated the incident and determined the animal was a danger to the general public.
Police advised the owner to keep the dog secured while they sought an application for destruction of the animal under the Animal Health and Protection Act. That application was filed with the court and a hearing was scheduled for April 30. The matter has since been adjourned until June 11.
