Last Tuesday night, two men were rushed to hospital with serious injuries after being attacked by a dog in the Municipality of Pontiac.
Police say that around 8:30 p.m., a 40-year-old and a 69-year-old were attacked by the animal, which belonged to the younger man, outside a residence on Hwy. 148 in Luskville.

The older man is a family member and was attempting to intervene on behalf of the younger man before being savaged himself. Both men were transported to hospital with serious injuries to their arms. The younger man had to be transferred to Montreal due to the severity of his condition, though it was not considered life-threatening.
The local SPCA was called, but the dog had to be put down by police, with the consent of the owner.
Police are still investigating the cause of the incident and said circumstances surrounding the attack, as well as the breed of dog, could not be confirmed at the time of press.
