BC Conservation Officer Service investigating moose incident in College Heights

An incident involving a moose in College Heights claimed the life of a dog and resulted in non-life-threatening injuries to a man.

According to the BC Conservation Officer Service, it happened at about 7:45 pm last night (Tuesday) along Varsity trail.

The victim and his wife were walking their two dogs when they saw a moose nearby.

The dogs began barking, with the moose charging at them a short time later.

The man attempted to pick up his dog and was injured by the moose.

Conservation Officers say the deceased dog was a Chihuahua.

Officers are investigating and attended the area this morning (Wednesday).

Moose and other ungulates may perceive dogs as threats and can become aggressive towards people and pets.
