Woman bit by dog while walking at West Slope lake
El Dorado County Animal Services is searching for the owner of an all-white male pit bull that bit a woman Sept. 10 at approximately 6:30pm while she was walking on the trail at Jenkinson Lake in Sly Park.
The incident occurred when the dog, on a long leash and jogging with its owner, approached the woman and bit her on her hip. The owner of the pit bull was accompanied by a young adult female who also had a pit bull on a leash. The second pit bull was black and white.
The owner of the biting pit bull was a young adult male in his early 20s, about 6-feet-3, with dark hair, who gave his name as Nathan, but refused to provide any other information.
While the woman’s injuries were not life threatening, Animal Services officers are actively looking for the dog’s owner to verify the dog is current on its rabies vaccinations. Without this verification, the woman may need to have post-exposure rabies treatments.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Animal Services at (530) 621.5795.
omg!
ban dogs
there are so many dog owners that think the world revolves around them. I hope that they find the responsible people and that there is no need for rabies shots.
I hope there is a dog equivalent of ” hit and run ” and that these people get nailed for it! I have found most dogs in Tahoe well socialized and friendly to both dogs and humans. I have two 60 lbs dogs and if either one of them showed the slightest aggression to a human or another dog, that dog would not go out of my yard again and intensive training would start immediately. These people should have the book thrown at them.
