The “highly aggressive” dog was shot dead by police on June 6 after it attacked the male and female homeowners as well as a neighbour who went to help.
Initially, it was reported the homeowners’ injuries were both serious, but not-life-threatening.
Dozens gathered Friday morning for a private funeral in Burlington.
A family member confirmed to Global News the dog was the couple’s own, and was a rescue animal.
Neighbours told Global News the couple had the dog for about six months to a year, and said it appeared to be a Cane Corso.
