Toronto police are looking for a 40-year-old woman after her two dogs allegedly attacked a person and their dog in midtown Toronto on Thursday. Police said they were notified on Saturday about the attack that occurred at a park near Avenue Road and Roxborough Street. The victim was walking their dog near an off-leash fenced area of the park when the suspect’s two dogs escaped the enclosure, police said. The dogs, believed to be large breeds of pit bull or bull terrier, then charged and attacked the victim as well as their dog. Police said the victim suffered non-life-threatening injuries while their dog sustained life-threatening injuries. In a news release on Saturday, police identified the suspect as Tanychia Black of Toronto. She is wanted for criminal negligence causing bodily harm as well as two counts of failing to prevent a dog from biting or attacking and two counts of dog biting a person or domestic animal under the Dog Owners’ Liability Act. Black is described as five-foot-ten with a heavy build and was last seen wearing a navy-blue hair bonnet, a mustard-coloured hoodie, light-coloured pants, and dark shoes with white soles.
