Dogs bite people on both sides of El Dorado County
By Cathy Locke, Sacramento Bee
El Dorado County Animal Services officials are searching for dogs that bit people in two separate incidents, one in South Lake Tahoe and the other in Grizzly Flat.
On Oct. 16, a 17-year-old boy was bitten about 6:30 p.m. on the South Tahoe Middle School soccer field on Al Tahoe Boulevard in South Lake Tahoe. The teenager and his brother began playing soccer with the dog’s owner and another man, and the dog suddenly bit the youth, according to an El Dorado County Public Health Department news release. The dog owner left the area and no information was exchanged.
The dog is described as a larger size dog, possibly a golden retriever-boxer mix. The dog’s owner is described as white, in his late 20s with light-colored hair.
