Public Health Seeking Information About Dog Biting Incident in Owen Sound

The Grey Bruce Health Unit is seeking assistance from the public in finding the owner of a dog involved in a biting incident in Owen Sound.

On February 27, 2012 at approximately 9:00 am, a woman was bitten by a dog as she was getting out of a cab in the alley behind the TD Canada Trust at 9th St E and 2nd Ave E. The dog is described as a black and brown Rottweiler. It was on a leash at the time of the incident and being walked by a young woman.

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.
