Charges laid in Montreal fatal dog attack

Baby killed, mother and grandmother blamed

Police in Montreal say they plan to lay charges of criminal negligence causing death against the mother, 17, and grandmother, 37, of a three-week-old girl killed in a horrific attack by two Husky dogs. The tragedy unfolded in St. Barnabé Sud, a small town about 70 km northeast of Montreal. The teenaged mother and her baby reportedly lived at the house where the baby died, as roommates of another couple and their three sons. The baby’s grandmother, however, was apparently only visiting the home when the attacks took place.
