The father of Canadian teenager Piper James, who was found dead surrounded by a pack of dingoes on an Australian beach this week, said her family is “shattered” by her loss.

“We will always remember her infectious laugh and her kind spirit. I admired her strength and determination to go after her dreams,” Todd James said on social media about his 19-year-old daughter, who was from Campbell River, B.C.
