OK, first you don't go sticking your face at a strange dog. Second, you don't take you damned dog into a store (I hate that shit).

Owner charged after dog bites woman's nose off

OTTAWA - The elderly owner of a dog that attacked a Home Depot employee in Ottawa on Friday, leaving the victim's face disfigured, was charged by the city on Monday.

"As a result of the investigation, we were able to validate the bite did occur," said Susan Jones, general manager of emergency and protective services.

The shih tzu's owner — described by the victim as a woman in her seventies — will have to fork over a $610 fine and keep her pooch muzzled at all times in public.

"We take a zero-tolerance approach," to ensuring community safety, Jones said.

Anne Riel's face is disfigured after her nose was bitten by a shih tzu while she greeted its owner inside a Home Depot store last Friday.

The mother of two kids, four and 16, has worked as a greeter and sales associate for almost one year at the Ottawa store.

"He literally jumped up and bit my nose off. It was bleeding everywhere," Riel, 39, told QMI Agency.

Plastic surgeons fixed her nose with seven stitches. At least three more surgeries are needed.

"I'm happy with (the action against the owner), but then what happens to the dog?" Riel said Monday.

She wants the dog put down after the incident, which happened around 1:30 p.m. Friday.

Her shift was almost over and she had won a customer service award that morning.

The big box store has a no-pets policy.

But the rule isn't enforced and dogs are often brought inside the store, Riel said.

The attack was captured on video by the store's cameras, however, the company has yet to issue a statement.

The store's assistant manager on duty Sunday declined comment and referred comments to Home Depot's public relations department in Toronto.

QMI Agency's calls were not returned Sunday or Monday.

Signs reading "NO PETS (Except Seeing Eye Dogs or Service Animals)" are posted on the glass doors at the entrances and exits.

The shih tzu may be ordered to be destroyed.

"We haven't dismissed that yet," said Jones. "We're going to review the evidence and the injuries. We could very well proceed."

Riel returned to work Monday and said she's receiving a lot of support from colleagues and customers.

Says just about everything I've ever said about small dogs. If it was a pit I'm sure the cops would have executed the owner on site. How'd the little rat get to her nose anyway?

She leaned in to say, "Who's a good doggie" or some other stupid shit.

Doubly-so since, as a greeter, it was her job to enforce the "no pets" policy of the store.

Maybe that's what pissed the dog off.

"Oh, you shouldn't be in here, you naughty little doggy. You just turn right around anOWFUCKMYNOSE!"

Yeah LOL...its only a no-pets policy if one gets their nose taken off.

why destroy the dog for the owner being dumb enough to bring it where it wasn't allowed? That little tidbit would have avoided the entire situation.

I hate stupid people.
