They say when the two arrived, three bulldog-type dogs rushed out and attacked the girl without provocation, causing serious but non-life-threatening injuries.

Police say the man was charged with criminal negligence causing bodily harm and three counts under the Ontario Dog Owners' Liability Act.

They say the man was also found to have violated a muzzle order issued by Newmarket Animal Services, and the dogs were surrendered and euthanized after the attack.

Police say the man pleaded guilty to all charges on Tuesday and he was sentenced to one year of house arrest, 15 months of probation, a $5,000 fine and a lifetime ban on owning, keeping or residing in a home with a dog.
