Public Assistance Request Dog Bite

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

The incident occurred on December 24, although reporting was delayed until today. A man was walking on the Paisley rail trail bridge late afternoon on December 24. A young man described as having long hair and wearing a red jacket was walking a black lab. Although the dog was leashed it lunged forward and bit the other man on the arm.

Staff of the Grey Bruce Health Unit need to confirm the dog is not infectious with rabies. By verifying the health of the dog, the victim can avoid receiving the post-exposure rabies treatment. If you have any information related to this incident, please contact the Grey Bruce Health Unit at 519-376-9420.
