Toddler was fatally mauled by a sled dog, residents say

Quebec police are investigating the weekend death of a Nunavik infant.

Provincial police, the Sûreté du Québec, were called into the community of Kangiqsujuaq last weekend to look into the death of a one-year-old boy.

Community members say the young boy was mauled to death by a dog, or several dogs, on June 29 behind a home in the community of about 700 people on Hudson Strait.

The dogs are reportedly part of a team of sled dogs chained within an enclosure behind the home, though it’s unclear how the toddler made his way into the area.
