PORT MOODY — Police in Port Moody, B.C., say a dog owner has been criminally charged after two large dogs are alleged to have mauled a woman.

Police in the Metro Vancouver city were called to a report of the attack on May 20 after receiving reports of a woman being seriously hurt.

The victim required treatment at hospital, and while the extent of her injuries hasn’t been released, they are described as “serious” and “life-altering.”

Police say investigators found city officials had already deemed the dogs aggressive before the attack.
