A Langley, B.C., family is heartbroken after their small Maltipoo, Sky, was mauled to death by a larger dog in Stanley Park.

Multiple videos taken by witnesses and submitted to CTV News show a frantic scene Monday afternoon near the Second Beach concession stand.

“This large dog literally out of nowhere, off-leash, came bolting between my daughter and myself,” said Andrea Jagdeo, Sky’s owner.

“It was absolutely horrific,” said Harmony Hemmelgarn, a witness at the scene. “The large dog had the little dog’s entire abdomen in its jaw.”

AJ Tay, Andrea’s partner, said he and other bystanders tried whatever they could to get the large dog to release Sky.

“My hands were just in there, prying and prying, and it just literally didn’t even move,” said Tay.
