Grey Bruce Health Unit Seeking Assistance in Dog Biting in Chesley
The Grey Bruce Health Unit is seeking assistance from the public in finding the owner of a dog involved in a biting incident in Chesley.
On the afternoon of Saturday, September 29, 2012, a man walking near the hospital in Chesley encountered a man walking two dogs. One of the dogs bit the man as he walked by. The dogs are described as small and white; the man walking the dogs had a beard and wore a black jacket with lettering.
Staff of the Grey Bruce Health Unit need to confirm that the dog is not infectious with rabies. By verifying the health of the dog, the victim can avoid receiving the post-exposure rabies treatment. If you have any information related to this incident, please contact the Grey Bruce Health Unit at 519-376-9420.
