Investigation into dog attack that killed N.S. boy continues, RCMP say
13‑year‑old Drew Nickerson died after a fatal dog attack near Welshtown, Shelburne, Nova Scotia.
On Saturday, Jan. 5, 2026, 13‑year‑old Drew Nickerson was mauled by three large‑breed dogs—a Rottweiler and two Cane Corsos—while biking on Upper Sandy Cove Road, about 12 km north of Shelburne. He was air‑lifted to a Halifax hospital and died Monday. The Nova Scotia RCMP are collecting video footage, canvassing the area and interviewing witnesses; the dogs were later euthanised. The community of Shelburne County (≈13,000 residents) has rallied, raising nearly $50,000 from 800 donors and 80 donated items for the family. The investigation remains ongoing, with no charges announced yet.
