Wow â ď¸đ Warning: Some of the details in this story may be disturbing. Discretion is advised.
A Surrey family is seeking closure and justice after their small elderly dog was fatally mauled by a neighbourâs much larger dog, and its body allegedly disposed of following the deadly attack.
The beloved senior pup would have celebrated his 15th birthday in February, but this past Christmas was the familyâs last with Lucky.
âHe was a part of our family,â Luckyâs owner, Jug Thandi, said through tears Tuesday. âWe canât, our kids canât sleep, my in-laws canât sleep.â
The Thandis brought Lucky into their home in June 2011 as a first dog for their two children.
For more than fourteen years, the Havanese Maltese was the centre of attention in their extended household, greeting visitors at the door, snuggling with Jugâs mother-in-law and father-in-law, and even sitting at the dinner table on special occasions.
Shortly after 11:30 a.m. on Jan. 4, Jug said Lucky wandered from their home in North Surrey.
When he didnât return, the Thandis canvassed their neighbourhood, and obtained shocking video surveillance capturing their petâs demise.
In one security video, Lucky is seen just metres from home on the edge of a neighbourâs driveway, before heâs grabbed by a large dog and dragged onto the adjacent property.
Another angle of surveillance shows the larger dog tossing the elderly dog around like a rag doll, until he stops moving.
Surrey police attended the scene but said their involvement is limited as no criminal offences were suspected.
âThe police did do a check on the property, said Paul Thandi. âThe only thing they said they found was blood.â
Surveillance video captures someone from the attacking dogâs property picking something up from the yard and putting it into the trunk of a blue vehicle, before driving away within an hour of the attack.
A woman who answered the door at the property Tuesday downplayed the incident when questioned by Global News.
âItâs not a big deal,â she said before telling a news crew to âput the camera downâ.
