Staff at Grey Bruce Public Health need help tracking down the owners of a dog involved in a biting incident at the Kincardine Dog Park earlier this week.

It happened on Tuesday around 12:30 p.m. at the park on Bruce Avenue.

Officials say a man was bitten while trying to separate his pets from another dog. The dog involved is described as a mixed breed with black fur and white markings.

At the time, the dog was with a woman believed to be in her mid-20s and a man somewhere in his 30s.

The health unit says staff 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,” said staff in a notice.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Grey Bruce Public Health.
