Boxer dog put down by family after child, 6, badly wounded

A boxer-mix pet dog has been put down in Windsor after it attacked a child who tried to get between it and another canine as they fought. The six-year-old, Karma Jarrett, told her story to the Windsor Star. Police were alerted to the incident on Jan. 11 and an investigation determined that a family dog attacked a member of the extended family in the owner’s home. They say the family chose to euthanize the pet, meaning there’s no danger to the public. Boxers are not a banned breed. The terrible wounds that mark the girl’s cheek are cautionary evidence to parents with pets, especially multiple pets.
