Camper reunited with its family days after becoming lost while escaping attack
BY , Jun 17, 2021 7:28 PM - REPORT AN ERRORA dog is safe at home days after it was separated from its owner as they ran from a violent attack near downtown Victoria.
Camper, a brown pit bull terrier with a black face, was located last night nearly five kilometres from the site where she and her owner fled their parked van Friday as a man smashed its windows with a hammer.
There was a citywide search for the friendly pooch.
Victoria police say another dog found the two-year-old pit bull and alerted its owner, who called a phone number on Camper's collar.
A police statement says an investigation into the van attack is continuing but officers and staff are ``sharing the relief and joy'' of knowing Camper is safely home.
A 40-year-old Edmonton man was arrested in connection with the hammer attack and has been released while awaiting a court date on recommended charges of assault with a weapon and mischief.
