Three year old girl in hospital with serious non-life threatening injuries

Strathmore RCMP are investigating after a fatal dog attack near Langdon Sept. 15.

Police were called to a home in Rocky View County near Langdon just after 6 p.m. when a dog attacked its owner.

RCMP reported that the dog, a pitbull boxer cross, first attacked the three-year-old female toddler before turning on its owner, a 49-year-old female.

EMS and emergency crews attended the home where the adult female was pronounced dead on scene and the toddler was transported by ambulance to hospital with serious non-life threatening injuries.
