Two owners have been charged after two separate aggressive dog incidents over the weekend.

The first happened in the northwest community of Sunnyside on Saturday, after reports of an adult bull terrier attacking a three-year-old, who had to be treated for a large laceration on their head.

The second incident happened Sunday, when a one-year-old was pinned by an adult chow/shepherd mix in their southeast family home in Midnapore.

The child suffered a puncture to the top of their head, with scratches to their arms and face.

Although neither dog has prior records of aggression, both animals were seized and will under go a behavioral assessment of the next 10 days.
