Southwestern Public Health is looking to speak to the owner of a shaggy dog after a biting incident on the Hickson Trail in Woodstock.
UPDATE: Public health has located the owner and the dog involved in this incident.
The dog is in quarantine so that public health officials can assess its health/rabies status. This means the individual won’t need to undergo unnecessary rabies vaccination which can be expensive, uncomfortable and inconvenient.
