Emergency responders were called to the 1500 block of 21st Avenue N.W. on June 5 for reports that an 86-year-old woman had been attacked by dogs. The woman, who has since been identified as Betty Ann Williams and was commonly known as Rusty, died after she was taken to hospital. Community peace officers seized the three dogs involved in the attack, which have been held ever since. The fate of the dogs is currently awaiting a Dangerous Dog Act application submitted to Alberta’s Court of Queen’s Bench, with the city asking for the dogs to be euthanized. The owners of the dogs were jointly charged Tuesday with several offences under the Responsible Pet Ownership Bylaw. Chief bylaw officer Ryan Pleckaitis said Wednesday there were a number of witnesses present at the time of the attack and the City also looked at evidence collected by the Calgary police during their investigation before laying the charges.
