CBC News reached out to the City of Regina about the incident. In an emailed response, the city shared condolences for the family and said the rocks are used to aid with flood prevention. The statement went on to say that an investigation will take place.
“As we thank the resident for sharing information about the incident with the City, we also take the opportunity to assure residents that we take matters like this seriously and will evaluate the park to determine if additional safety measures are needed,” the statement said.
Fellner said she’s warning other owners about the area and hopes they will be cautious when visiting.
“I know [dog parks] are designed as places to be safe for dogs. They’re not always as safe as they seem. Just take the extra diligence,” she said.
