The Grey Bruce Public Health Unit is seeking the public’s help in identifying the owner of a dog involved in a biting incident last Friday in Southampton.
At around 8 pm a male child was bitten by a small dog, which resembled a miniature poodle, at Gerry’s Fast Food on Beach Road.
The dog was less than nine inches tall, brownish-yellow in colour with some white and grey fur.
The dog was on a white and brownish-green leash.
The dog was with a couple, who had about six other dogs with them at the time of the incident.
Public Health need to confirm the dog is not infectious with rabies. By verifying this the victim can avoid receiving the post-exposure rabies treatment.
Anyone with any information relating to the incident are asked to contact Grey Bruce Public Health.
