Main article: List of fatal dog attacks

Fatal dog attacks in Canada are rare: a 2008 study found that one to two deaths per year in Canada are attributable to dog attacks, however other systematic data is lacking compared to the wider variety of studies conducted by researchers in the United States.[1] In the lists below, the attribution of the dog type or breed is assigned by the sources.

A pathology report by Dr. Charles Randal Smith from Sick Kid's Hospital in Toronto claimed the child died from stab wounds, however he was not told there was a dog present. However, Dr. Rex Ferris of Vancouver, the pathologist who was involved in the famous "dingo baby" case in Australia in the 1980s, disagreed. Louise Reynolds spent three and a half years in jail awaiting trial, and during that time her other children were removed from her care. She was convicted, but exonerated in 2001.

Fatalities in 2000-2009

Date Location Dog type (Number) Victim's name Victim's age Circumstances
January 27, 2002 Woodland Beach, Ontario Labrador mix, Rottweiler Kyra-Lee Sibthorpe 4 years Sibthorpe was visiting her father at his rented farmhouse. He was not around when his Rottweiler and a friend's Labrador attacked Sibthorpe. She was familiar with the Rottweiler, but the Labrador was new to her. Sibthorpe's father fled the scene after a neighbour called 9-1-1, likely due to his arrest warrants. She was pronounced dead at the Huronia District Hospital in Midland. Both dogs were euthanized. Sibthorpe's father turned himself in to police within a few days.[104][105][106][107][108]
March 1, 2003 Kingston Peninsula, New Brunswick Rottweilers (3) James "Jim" Ronald Waddell 4 years Waddell, who had previously been in foster care for eighteen months, lived with his father and was under supervision from social workers at the time of the attack. He was hospitalized during the previous summer for a dog bite. Waddell's father and friends, who were all drinking, decided to do some electrical work in the basement. The only way to get into the basement was from outside. Mike Clark, who lived with the Waddells, decided to let his dogs out of their electrically fenced pen while on his way to the basement. Waddell decided to follow the men outside. He was left alone in the backyard, where Clark's dogs mauled him to death. Each dog weighed around 145 pounds and Waddell weighed 35 pounds. Clark's two unneutered dogs may have been excited by Waddell's dog, who was in heat and tethered on the porch. Waddell suffered bite marks all over his body, a broken back, a severed major artery, and had his throat torn out. His cause of death was blood loss. All four dogs were euthanized. Clark claimed that his dogs had no history of aggression.[109][110][111][112][113][114][115][116]
October 13, 2003 Nelson House, Manitoba German Shepherd crosses (4-6) Unnamed male child 3 years At around 2:30 P.M., a boy was attacked by his grandmother's dogs in her backyard, where he was playing with a puppy and had some bannock. Her fifteen dogs were tethered, but six broke free and at least four attacked. The boy's grandmother injured her arms while trying to scare the dogs away, which were euthanized by residents before emergency responders arrived.

December 27, 2004 Maple Ridge, British Columbia Rottweilers (3), Border Collie Cody John Anger 3 years Anger resided with his mother, Sheri Fontaine; her boyfriend, Jason Harvey; and Anger's several older siblings. The children had previously been in foster care due to Fontaine's criminal activity and history of drug abuse. A social worker, who visited them four months prior, said "the risk to the children had been substantially reduced." Fontaine owned two dogs and was temporarily caring for Jenny Babee's two dogs. Babee described Fontaine's border collie as a "crack dog", since Harvey would allegedly put the dog in a box along with crack. Social workers did not believe the dogs were dangerous, but financially draining the family. Babee's dogs were kept outside or in the basement at night while she was away. They were barricaded in the kitchen on the night before Anger's death because another family friend was sleeping in the basement. It is possible that Babee's dogs jumped over the one metre plywood sheet keeping them in the kitchen. Anger was attacked by all four dogs while watching cartoons in the living room. He was found unresponsive by one of his siblings, whose yelling and screaming woke up their mother. Fontaine and Harvey took Anger to the Ridge Meadows Hospital before noon. He was not breathing, had fixed pupils, and no blood pressure nor pulse. Anger was pronounced dead at 12:12 P.M. He suffered injuries to his scalp, neck, extremities, and died from blood loss.

Both of them went back inside once they heard noise inside the house and called emergency responders at around 3:30 P.M. The mother was charged with manslaughter less than a day after the incident. She pleaded not guilty and was released under several conditions, including that she cannot care for children under twelve years old. There was not enough evidence to charge the grandmother. The infant's father, who was not home during the attack, did not believe the mother was at fault. Two dogs that belonged to the homeowners were seized from the residence and at least one was euthanized. They had no history of violence.[141][142][143][144][145]

He entered the backyard and was attacked by 2 dogs. He suffered serious injuries to his arms, hands, and legs, and died. A neighbour reported that the dogs were loud and intimidating. Since this was the third dog mauling in Manitoba in eight weeks, the police stressed to the media that the man also suffered a cardiac arrest during the attack and that the public needed to wait for an autopsy report. However, there is no update as to the autopsy report by the police, nor any update to the investigation, so whether the man suffered cardiac arrest from blood loss is not confirmed.[152][153]

When the dog was finally pulled off Brigmantas, he was deceased. It took 5 hours to seize the dog, and required it be pepper sprayed. A coroner's investigation determined that Brigmantas ultimately did not die of the dog's wounds, but by a medical emergency caused by the attack. However, the attack was part of the cause of death and the dog was euthanized.[155][156]
October 17, 2015 Ross River, Yukon Rez dog (4) Shane Glada 22 years Shane Glada had been missing several days when he was discovered in a gully near houses in the rural Kaska community. He had been killed by four stray dogs while walking in the woods. The dogs were feral or semi-domesticated.[157]

Fatalities in 2020-2024

edit
Date Location Dog type (Number) Victim's name Victim's age Circumstances
June 9, 2020 Middle Musquodoboit, Nova Scotia Pit bull (American Bully) Megan Milner 38 years Megan Milner was last seen giving water to her dog on a walk at 7:45 a.m. before it attacked and killed her. Shortly after 8:00 A.M., a teenaged pedestrian found Milner in a ditch near the intersection at Webster and Wittenburg Roads. Police tweeted a warning about the dog. At around 9:30 A.M., it was intentionally struck and killed by a vehicle on Highway 224. The dog, a male, attacked another dog at an off-leash park in 2017. It also mauled Milner in 2018, who had to be hospitalized. Milner's mother previously suggested that she surrender him. Both of Milner's pitbulls had prior involvement with police. One had been removed from Milner's home by Animal Services. The male dog that killed Milner was supposed to be wearing a muzzle, and was known by neighbours to be aggressive.[180] The man who struck the dog was not charged, as he did not have criminal intent and was concerned about the public's safety. The dog was confirmed to be an American Bully, which is a pitbull, through DNA testing.[181][182][183][184][185][186][187]
June 29, 2020 Kamloops, British Columbia Pit bull Unnamed adult male Unknown A man was visiting the residence of a male friend when he allegedly suffered a seizure and was killed by the friend's pitbull. Three other adults were inside the residence in the 900 block on Singh Street, Kamloops, but did not see the attack. Police received a report about the attack at 11:45 A.M. The dog was sedated before being removed and euthanized. Due to an ongoing investigation, police refused to release the man's name.[188][189][190][191][192]
April 1, 2021 Muncey (part of Strathroy-Caradoc) Ontario Unreported Large Breed (3) Megan Fay Fisher 17 years Fisher, a senior student from the Chippewas of the Thames First Nation, was visiting the residence of a family friend, 30 year old Andrew Littleton, when she was attacked by his dogs. She was pronounced dead at his residence on Gentleman Drive at about 2:30 P.M. All three dogs were euthanized.[193][194][195][196][197][198]
August 15, 2021 Pitt Meadows, British Columbia Rottweiler (2) Ping Guo 54 The victim was visiting a blueberry farm and was found dead by other visitors. Due to her traumatic injuries, conservation officers first thought she was attacked by a black bear. The victim's family suspected a dog attack early on, but it was only confirmed after the dogs' DNA was tested following another fatality next to the blueberry farm 17 months later. The two dogs were euthanized in January 2023 not long after the second fatality.[199][200][201][202][203][204]
June 1, 2022 Witchekan Lake First Nation, Saskatchewan Pit bulls[205] Noel Thomas 43 years Noel Thomas was helping his neighbours mow their lawn when the neighbours' two dogs charged at him from behind. Neighbours released their dogs on the attacking dogs to try to stop the attack. Thomas was pronounced dead at the scene despite CPR attempts. The RCMP of nearby Spiritwood assisted in the investigation and the dogs were seized.[206][205]
June 5, 2022 Calgary, Alberta American Staffordshire Terrier (3)[207] Betty Ann Williams 86 years Betty Ann Williams, an elderly woman, was gardening in the alleyway beside her home when she was attacked and killed by her neighbours' three dogs.[208] The owner, Denis Bagaric, claimed he was in his backyard with his dogs, and that he then noticed his gate was askew.[209] After the attack, he claimed on social media that this was not his dogs' fault and the story was false, which he then deleted.[210] In a later media statement he claimed that the victim mistook the attack, that the dogs were playing, and blamed her because she "swung a bag of dandelions" at the dogs in defense.[211] While Bagaric removed one attacking dog, Smoki to his garage, his other two dogs, Bossi and Cinnamon, fatally mauled Williams. The incident was covered heavily in the media due to the fact that the owner, Bagaric, had a prior history of charges for possession of drugs,[210] and had lied that he had been the one to call 911 during the attack on Williams.[210] Bagaric had previously uploaded to social media a video of a Medicine Hat police officer euthanizing a fawn by stabbing it and slitting its throat.[210] Also, the ambulance to assist Williams took thirty minutes to arrive, causing community concern and an internal investigation, which led to a report that a communication breakdown had occurred.[212] Bagaric and his girlfriend, Taylin Calkins were jointly charged with 12 offenses under the Calgary Responsible Pet Bylaw.[210] Police claimed there was insufficient evidence to press criminal charges against Bagaric and Calkins. Bagaric had long been known to police for the drunk driving death of his passenger, a sixteen year old, in Alberta in 2007.[210][213]
September 14, 2022 Quebec,Nunavik, Quaqtaq Sled dog Girl 1 The 23-month-old girl was bitten 15 times by a female dog.[214]

Avery was playing outside, unsupervised, at his grandparents' home on Whitefish Lake First Nation, north of Slave Lake, about 375 km north of Edmonton, when a relative's two Rottweiller Mix dogs along with a "reservation dog," attacked and killed him. Upon discovering Avery, the family immediately destroyed their two Rottweiler-Mix dogs, while police searched for and found the third dog and destroyed it. The public demanded an answer from Alberta Child Services why the child had died while in their care, a national issue of child deaths while under government care often reported in Canadian media, and there was community outrage that loose reservation dogs had been allowed to roam the area.[217][218]
June 6, 2023 Burlington, Ontario Pit Bull Jean Lilly Elizabeth Cluckie 76 A 'highly aggressive dog' attacked 3 people, the dog had been living with two of the victims, Jean and Brian, for a while.
