After a two-year legal battle, the owner of a dog who was killed in a vicious attack at a Saskatoon off-leash park two years ago is getting some closure.
Blossom de Bruin was a student in the vet college at the University of Saskatchewan (U of S) in 2021 when she took her Terrier Jax to the Sutherland dog park. Two large dogs, similar to pit bulls, mauled 12-year-old Jax.
“Almost as soon as we entered the park these two bully breed dogs came running over and attacked him,” de Bruin told CTV News.
One of the dogs grabbed the terrier by the neck and the other grabbed his abdomen and shook him, exposing his insides.
The injuries and internal hemorrhaging were so extensive that Jax died a short time later on an operating table at the veterinary college.
Besides the trauma of seeing her dog attacked in such a violent way, de Bruin incurred significant vet bills.
She claims the owner of the other two dogs didn’t show any concern as the attack was happening, and others around were trying to get the dogs off of Jax, and that she continued the walk with one of the dogs afterwards.
