A Toronto woman was jailed for allowing her dog to severely injure a boy, violating a prior order, leading to the dog’s euthanasia and a lifetime ban on owning dogs.
Toronto woman Patrycja Siarek was sentenced to one year in jail for allowing her dog to attack a nine-year-old boy in a fenced playground in March 2024, despite a prior dangerous dog order requiring it to be muzzled.
The child suffered severe leg injuries requiring multiple surgeries, hospitalization, and vaccinations, with lasting impacts on his life.
Siarek, who pleaded guilty to criminal negligence and failing to prevent the bite, received 340 days in prison—accounting for time already served—and three years of probation with a 10-year ban on dog ownership.
The dog was euthanized, and her other two dogs were rehomed.
The judge called the offense "extremely grave," emphasizing accountability and public safety.
