Peel police are trying to track down a big dog and its owner after a dog attack in a Mississauga park left a young child with critical injuries.

The incident occurred just after 4 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 23, at the Parkway Belt dog park in the area of Eglinton Avenue and Highway 403, not far from Paramount Fine Foods Centre.

Peel Const. Akhil Mooken said the child, a three-year-old Mississauga girl, was with her parents in the leash-free dog park when a black and white Husky bit the child.

Peel paramedics rushed the child to the Hospital for Sick Children with critical injuries that included puncture wounds to her body, Mooken said.
