Health unit investigating dog biting incident

Grey Bruce Public Health is hoping to identify a dog that was involved in a recent biting incident.

On January 27 sometime between 2-4 p.m., a teenager was bitten by a dog that's described as being or appearing similar to a German shepherd.

The biting incident happened on the west side of 2nd Avenue East, between 6th and 7th streets, as the teen met the owner walking the dog on a leash on the narrow, snowy sidewalk.

 The owner was a young woman, roughly 18-22-years-olds and about 5'8" tall.

Public Health needs to confirm the dog is not infectious with rabies, so the victim of the bite can avoid post-exposure rabies treatment.

If you have any information related to this incident, contact Grey Bruce Public Health at 519-376-9420 ext. 1355.
