Two children were taken to hospital Wednesday after being attacked by a dog in Saskatoon.

According a release, the dog was off leash when it bit five- and 13-year-old children. The animal then went after at least two adults attempting to help the children.

The children’s dog bites are not life-threatening.

Meanwhile, the dog is in the custody of animal control officers. Police did not say if the owner would be charged.
