A family living near Uplands Golf Course is sounding the alarm after a “traumatic” attack on the family dog last weekend. After hosting a belated Thanksgiving dinner they let nineyear old black lab Riley out in the yard aroud 8:30 p.m.. “We walked around the corner and she was pinned by this great big buck,” said Norm Kelly. “She went into the backyard and basically got gouged by a deer … there was blood everywhere.” The attack left the family pet with multiple puncture wounds that required hours of surgery. Tuesday she was on antibiotics and painkillers, apparently on the mend. “I’m not pro-cull, I’m not anti-cull – I’m not sure. It’s a controversial issue, no matter what you do, with a cull or harvest,” Kelly emphasized. “The community needs to know when they let their dogs out at night to go pee, which we’ve done for nine or 10 years, it’s not safe,” he added.
