A Calgary man whose dogs were involved in the fatal mauling of an 87-year-old woman in June of 2022 has been charged with disobeying a court order against owning animals again.
The City of Calgary says two dogs were removed from Denis Bagaric’s home after he was determined to be in breach of a 15-year prohibition on owning pets.
Bagaric was the owner of three dogs who mauled 87-year-old Betty Ann Williams to death outside her home in the community of Capitol Hill in 2022.
Bagaric, who was sentenced in May of 2024 for the attack, was fined a total of $18,000, and the three dogs involved in the mauling were ordered euthanized.
He was also told by the judge he couldn’t own any new pets for 15 years.
