Robin Elgie, a B.C. man who was injured in a dog attack Christmas Day, is home after seven surgeries to repair his damaged arms.
Two bully-breed dogs attacked the 66-year-old in his Fort. St. John trailer after chasing his small dog Goldie inside, then turned on him and his girlfriend, also killing their cat. The dogs were shot by RCMP officers responding to the incident.
The injured man's work prospects may be limited. It will take at least two years before he recovers well enough to drive, and he will need a special knob on a steering wheel, as his left hand is permanently damaged, doctors told his daughter, Sheryl Elgie.
"They were the friendliest things ever. They were licking me so hard my glasses came off. These are not killer dogs,"
Paul Bosco is a Vancouver lawyer who specializes in injury cases. He said dog bites are one of the top 10 reasons his clients launch civil lawsuits.
Bosco said forcing dog owners to buy liability insurance before issuing dog licences is one step municipalities could take, as many dog attack victims are left with no way to get compensation.
