A dog responsible for a fatal attack on a smaller dog in Surrey, B.C., has been put down.

Jug and Paul Thandi’s 14-year-old Havanese Maltese Lucky was attacked on Jan. 4.

Neighbourhood security video captured the attack and Lucky could be seen being tossed around like a rag doll, until he stopped moving.

The attacking dog was tied up, but was able to get off its owners’ property. The City of Surrey says that after an assessment, the dog was deemed dangerous and was put down after being surrendered by the owner.

The Thandis say they still don’t know what happened to Lucky’s body, as the owners of the other dog reportedly disposed of the remains.

They did say they are thankful for the support they have received from people they don’t even know.

“I have had strangers that have gone to the Surrey garbage dump that have sat there with people who work there, gone through surveillance videos to see if our dog had been dumped there,” Jug said.

“These are people that I have not even met, the outcry the support, the love that everybody has given us — it’s beyond measure.”

Jug said the family could not have made it through the ordeal without the public’s support.
