Angela Ryan reported on Friday, May 31 that she had been bitten by a dog near the Longshore Club Park on Compo Road South and is concerned that the dog’s shots are not up to date.
The pregnant runner was “nipped at her leg,” and later realized that the dog - described as an orange-colored doodle breed weighing approximately 20 pounds with a 60-year-old owner - had drawn blood.
According to reports, the owner attempted to restrain the dog, but lunged at her as she went running by.
“We need to verify that the dog is up to date with shots, as it lunged at a pregnant woman and nipped at her leg,” fliers circulating in the area read. “Later, the runner noticed that the nip had drawn blood.”
Ryan has stated that she simply wants to see the documentation that the dog is properly vaccinated and is willing to go through the owner’s veterinarian or any other measures as a precaution.
