The owner of the attacking dog — a large, off-leash canine — was slapped with a $300 fine and a formal warning by Christchurch City Council for failing to keep their pet under control. Though witnesses described a terrifying moment where Jack was lifted off the ground, the council declined to label the dog as menacing or dangerous, citing insufficient evidence. Jack’s family faced over $900 in vet bills after the other owner vanished from responsibility. While the fine offers some closure, the owner expressed frustration that the dog wasn’t deemed dangerous — a sobering reminder for all pet owners: public spaces demand vigilance, especially when dogs are off-leash.
