The 13 year old female was walking with her friend when they passed by two individuals walking three dogs. The male party is described as being in his 30’s and the female was described as being 10 to 11 years of age.

One of the dogs broke free from the above described parties and ran up behind the 13 year old female and bit her twice in the back of her leg.
