Apparently another person knows this dog is not gentle...I hope the dog owner also gets taken to task.


The dog is now recovering at home with owner Matthew Pacaud.

An Okotoks man is facing a criminal charge in connection with a dog attack.

Nigel Warren, 62, is facing one charge of Causing Injury to a Dog.

He is accused of hitting his neighbour's Great Pyrenees and smashing out four of the dog's teeth.

CTV spoke to Warren Tuesday afternoon. He says the dog attacked him.

"I wish somebody had been there to see me attacked by these massive jaws trying to jump up at me."

The dog is owned by Matthew Pacaud. He says he called his neighbour after receiving a phone message complaining about a barking dog.

"I said you've hit my dog. He was backed into a corner, there's blood and feces everywhere. He said, 'I'm not denying it' and I said I'm phoning the RCMP."

Pacaud says vet bills have totaled 15-hundred dollars so far and his dog isn't a problem animal.

But another neighbour told CTV that Pacaud's dog is a problem and is both aggressive and constantly barking.

If convicted, Warren faces a maximum of five years in prison.

He is expected to appear in court next month.
