EDMONTON – A trial in Edmonton is hearing from a woman who says she was shredded in every direction by two dogs months before they killed an 11-year-old boy.
Tina Kelepouris says she often interacted with the two cane corsos but had not seen the dogs in more than a year when they attacked her in February 2024.
The dogs’ owner, Crystal MacDonald, is on trial facing a charge of criminal negligence causing death after the animals killed Kache Grist at her home in April 2024.
Kelepouris says she and some friends were visiting MacDonald and the two dogs, named Chaos and Cairo.
The 46-year-old says she was playing with the dogs in the backyard when one knocked her down and then they both attacked her.
She says she spent four days in hospital with three broken ribs, a punctured lung and stitches all over her body.
