This tragic incident occurred January 3rd on the 100 block of Upper Sandy Cove Road in Welshtown, Nova Scotia, Canada.
On that day, 13-year-old Drew Nickerson, was enjoying the day by riding his bike through the neighborhood.
As Drew rode his bike down the road, two large Cane Corsos and a Rottweiler came running out into the road from a nearby residence. The three dogs then began to viciously attack Drew. The attack left the young boy bleeding in the roadway and suffering from serious injuries.
Upon discovering Drew severely injured in the roadway, one of the owners of the dogs loaded Drew into their vehicle and rushed him to a nearby hospital.
Drew was then airlifted to a hospital in Halifax, where he sadly succumbed to his injuries on January 5th.
The incident is under investigation with Staff Sgt. Mark Macpherson of the Shelburne Disrict RCMP stating that they are collecting facts and attempting to drill down exactly what happened.
He informed the public that the animals involved in the attack have never had a complaint filed against them in the past to either local police or animal control. He shared with the public that all three dogs involved were euthanized by a local vet.
The tragic death of Drew has left the community shocked and heartbroken. Drew's soccer team, the Southwest Blast FC, shared the following message on Facebook--
"Drew found great joy in soccer and in being part of his teams. He will be remembered for the fun he had on the field, the friendships he formed, and the pride he shared with his teammates — including celebrating a U13 Championship, a moment that meant so much to him and those around him.”
Drew was a sweet soul and loved by everyone in his life.
His obituary stated. "He had a special love for horses and all animals, especially his loyal dog Zig, whom he loved beyond words.”
Our thoughts are with the family and friends of Drew Nickerson.
