Dog dies as owner steps into dog fight at park in Langley, B.C.

LANGLEY, B.C. – The RCMP says a dog has died in Langley, B.C., after it attacked another dog and a man in a local park.

In a news release, the RCMP says it’s believed the Cane Corso died while it was being held down by the owner of the dog that was attacked.

Police say they received a report shortly after 4:30 p.m. Tuesday of the Cane Corso attacking a retriever and its owner in Noel Booth Park.

Police say the owner of the dog that was attacked did not require medical attention for his injuries.

Jenny Ramirez, an animal control officer from the Patti Dale Animal Shelter, says a witness reported a person and a dog had been bitten by a loose dog.

She says the owner of the attacking dog arrived shortly after the incident.

Both animal control and the RCMP declined to release further information, saying the incident is still being investigated by the Langley Animal Protection Society.
