A Winnipeg family whose two dogs were attacked and killed while at daycare are calling for a better oversight model for the industry and are warning other pet owners to do research before entrusting a company with their furry friends.

Andreina and Keith Holliday say their two small dogs Rocky and Tango were spending a couple of days at Pooches Playhouse earlier this month because the family is in the midst of trying to sell their house.

A couple hours before they were due to pick up the Yorkie and the Maltese-Yorkie — both of whom are under five pounds — they got a horrifying call that Rocky was attacked and was being taken to a vet nearby.
