Report Details
A resident was walking from Chapman Point toward the river when two dogs, a husky and a black lab, ran up to her, barking and chasing her. The dogs had leashes trailing on the ground, but no owner attached to them. The black lab jumped on her, nipping at her and biting at her clothes. She was afraid, and wasn’t able to deter the dog’s aggression. She started screaming and crying, trying to get away from the dog. The dog’s owner finally walked over to the beach walker to get her dog, saying the dog was abused, and that the local resident had invited this attack by screaming and trying to get away from the aggressive dog. The local told the dog owner that as a Nurse Practitioner she had treated a number of children attacked by dogs.
