Quebec trial underway for man whose dogs allegedly mauled young girl
LONGUEUIL, Que. — A Quebec girl who was allegedly mauled by a pit bull-type dog was dragged several metres by the face across a park in September 2015, her mother told court Monday.
Magdalena Biron said the attack left her daughter Vanessa with fractures to the cranium and hand, as well as a cheekbone broken in seven pieces.
The young girl’s face was partially paralyzed and she has damage to her salivary glands and auditory canal, Biron testified.
Karim Jean Gilles stands accused of criminal negligence causing bodily harm after one of his two dogs allegedly attacked the young girl in a park on Montreal’s south shore.
