It appears the owners of a dog that attacked a young boy in Ile-a-la Crosse weren’t home when the incident took place.
On Saturday, around 7 p.m., 6-year-old Shiloh Berscheid was mauled by a mixed breed dog.
The attack by the medium sized dog sent the little boy to University Hospital in Saskatoon, where he received 60 stitches to his face.
Cpl. Lyle Korczak says the animal was located and destroyed.
However, he says it took a while to track it down, as the dog was not at its owners’ residence, and the owners were out of town.
At this point, Korczak says, there are no plans to lay charges.
He adds that lab tests will be performed on the dog’s remains.
