A well-known Vancouver couple are disappointed with two statements that found no malice and no fault in the October 2016 death of their beloved pooch Maggie.

Maggie — a black lab-chow rescue dog — was in an off-leash section of Trout Lake with owners Ali and Adrian Fluevog, of Fluevog Shoes, when it became spooked and ran off. Fireworks in Vancouver require a permit and are only allowed on Halloween.

The 10-year-old canine became disoriented and ended up on SkyTrain tracks where it was struck and killed by a train near the 29th Street station. It was later discovered that a control operator had ordered a train to continue, despite the efforts of another employee who had asked to delay the train and was attempting to coax the dog back to the platform.

“The BCRTC (TransLink) claims no malice and the BCSPCA concluded no fault in the events leading to Maggie’s death. We are disappointed with the findings,” said a statement shared with Postmedia News by the Fluevog family. Maggie was known to many due to its frequent presence at the family’s Gastown store.
