Victoria dog reunited with its family days after becoming lost while escaping attack

VICTORIA — A 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 Wednesday 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.
