The family of a woman whose body was found at a blueberry farm last August is now suing the farm and the City of Pitt Meadows, claiming she was probably killed by a dog.

Ping (Amy) Guo was found dead on the farm on Old Dewdney Trunk Road on Aug. 15 after she had gone berry picking.

At the time it was suspected she’d been killed by an animal — possibly a black bear.

The lawsuit claims the animal was probably a dog and claims that the farm was negligent for allegedly failing to ensure that the property was safe for visitors and for failing to warn Guo of the possible presence of dangerous animals.

The lawsuit also accuses the City of Pitt Meadows of allegedly failing to enforce its dog control bylaw when the city knew, or ought to have known of an aggressive or vicious dog in the area.

None of the allegations have been proven in court.
