CRD Animal Control is investigating a dog-on-dog attack in Saanich that left a greyhound badly injured and its owner with cuts and bruises.
Misha, a one-year-old greyhound, is seen photographed prior to suffering injuries in a dog-on-dog attack. The incident happened at Reynolds Park in Saanich on Monday, Aug. 7, 2023, and a CRD Animal Control investigation is now underway.Capital Regional District Animal Control
“They were sniffing grass, and all of a sudden this silver dog jumps, I believe, from under the bush. I didn’t see the dog until he attached himself to my youngest one-year-old greyhound,” Gregoryanz told CHEK News Wednesday. But when the pit bull appeared, Gregoryanz says it latched onto Misha and wouldn’t let go. And even after it did let go, it would latch on again.
“It was very painful. It still is,” said Gregoryanz, noting she went to the hospital for treatment and a tetanus shot after the incident. “But I’m thinking about my dog, who had his whole throat ripped. That must hurt a lot more.”
