These huskies were responsible for injuring a small dog in Aberdeen Dog Park in February. The BC SPCA has investigated and has taken custody of the animals while the city assesses the complaint.

The two huskies roaming a neighbourhood in north Richmond and apparently attacking other dogs have been seized by the BC SPCA.

The Richmond News reported last month how a man was walking his dog in the Aberdeen area when the pair of huskies ran across the road and went for his on-leash pet.

The huskies were also spotted randomly crossing the road, potentially causing danger to busy streets.

Earlier this year, the News also reported how two huskies attacked and injured a small dog in Aberdeen Dog Park.

However, the BC SPCA confirmed to the News on Tuesday that the dogs are now in its care, while “the assessments are finalized and the city makes its decision regarding the dogs.”

Ken Hui, who contacted the News last month after his dog was attacked, thanked the BC SPCA for taking action, adding that his “neighbourhood is now safer.”
