## Resource

A woman in Edmonton, Crystal MacDonald, has been sentenced to two years of house arrest after her two aggressive cane corso dogs killed 11-year-old Kache Grist in April. Despite the dogs’ violent history—including attacks on pets and injuries to people, including MacDonald herself—she avoided prison thanks to a conditional sentence, citing her clean record and community support. The judge ruled she doesn’t pose a public risk and banned her from owning dogs for life, though she may petition to lift that ban in ten years. The victim’s father, Wesley Grist, opposed prison, saying his son wouldn’t want more lives lost in his name—a sentiment the judge considered. The dogs involved were euthanized.
