Bull Mastiff attacks three at humane society

CANADA -- A two-year-old Bull Mastiff sent three volunteers at the Upper Credit Humane Society to hospital for treatment earlier this week.

On Tuesday (July 30), Wellington OPP responded to a dog bite complaint at the Upper Credit Humane Society in Erin at about 4:30 p.m.

The dog was in a fenced area of the humane society when the three victims were injured. The trio of volunteers was transported by ambulance to Guelph General Hospital, where they were treated for their injuries.

“They were all dog bites,” said Wellington OPP Const. Gary Barnhardt. “They were treated and they received stitches.”

To the best of Barnhardt’s knowledge, the dog wasn’t rabid. He believes the dog had been at the animal shelter for a couple weeks.

The police investigation into the incident is complete. The Upper Credit Humane Society continues to investigate
