PEACHLAND — One of two dogs that attacked and seriously injured dog in Peachland has been given a bit of a reprieve.

The attack occurred on January 1, leading to the death of a Llasha apso being walked by its owner, Jeff Clarke.

Due to the extent of his dog’s injuries, Clarke decided to humanely euthanize his pet after consulting with a veterinarian.

The dogs involved in the attack were seized by the Regional District of Central Okanagan.

One of dogs, a Presa Canario, was ordered to be destroyed while the other, an American Bulldog-Pitbull cross is being held until the owner can ensure that public safety concerns have been addressed.
