Dog bites jogger in Lenox

News

June 23rd, 2014 by Ric Hanson

Police in Lenox report a dog bite in the community last Friday resulted in the animal being quarantined and may be put down because its vaccinations had expired and the tags were improper. Officials say a woman jogging  at around 7:30-a.m. Friday was bitten just above her ankle by a loose dog. The bite was severe enough to require the victim to undergo two-hours of emergency surgery.

The dog and its owners were identified. The animal was taken into custody and placed into quarantine. Authorities say that type of situation creates a number of problems for the dog owners. Citations will be issued, the dog will be destroyed and there will likely be civil responsibility.

Lenox Police remind residents to “Please make sure your dogs are in compliance and you DO NOT allow them to run loose.” Do not hesitate to contact the Police Department if you observe a dog at large. If officials catch the animal, it will be impounded. If the owner can be identified, the issue will be addressed.
