Two people are facing life-altering injuries after a vicious attack involving four dogs. 

When officers arrived,&nbsp;the dogs&nbsp;had run off across Pembina. Two made it across,&nbsp;but the pup and an adult dog were hit by a vehicle.

The pup&nbsp;was taken to a veterinarian and treated and later sent to a rescue organization. The wounded adult dog had to be euthanized, the city said in a news release.

The two other&nbsp;dogs were found in the neighbourhood and shot by police officers. They were not examined by animal services and their breeds were not confirmed, the city said.

The&nbsp;pup&nbsp;is too young to determine the&nbsp;breed, the news release said.

The adult dog&nbsp;hit by the car and later euthanized&nbsp;was&nbsp;predominantly an American Pit Bull Terrier, which is a banned breed in Winnipeg.

None of the dogs were spayed or neutered or licensed, and none were believed to have rabies.

"In addition, there was no indication to suggest these dogs were used for fighting," the city said.

Three people were sent to hospital after the attack in the parking lot of the Capri Motel, two with life-altering injuries.
