RNC PHOTO BY FILE
The Royal Newfoundland Constabulary (RNC) has charged a dog owner after her animal caused injuries to others in Corner Brook.
The RNC received a call around 1:15 p.m. Aug. 19, 2026 after two people had been bitten by a large-breed roaming dog. The two victims required medical attention.
As a result of the ongoing investigation, a 45-year-old woman has been charged under the Animal Health and Protection Act for failing to keep her dog safely tethered. She will appear in court at a later date.
The RNC is working with the city of Corner Brook as part of the ongoing investigation.
If you encounter an aggressive animal or witness a situation that may endanger the public, contact your local police detachment. If immediate assistance is required, call 911.
