slide5-animal_control_public_health_seek_info_about_dog_that_bit_child_in_pioneer.pngAmador County - Amador County Animal Control and Public Health Departments are seeking information about a dog that bit a child in Pioneer at about 2:00 p. m. on Sunday, March 7, 2010. The child was riding a bicycle on Buckhorn Ridge Road near Pioneer Park and was chased and bitten by a dog described by the child as a brown Pit Bull or similar type dog with black and white markings. The dog was with its owners, a woman with red hair, and a man. The owners immediately put the dog in a blue Ford SUV and left the area. The owners are believed to live in the Pioneer area. Animal Control would like to speak to the owner of the dog to confirm the dog is alive and well so the child who was bitten does not have to receive a series of rabies injections. Animal Control is asking anyone with information to please contact them at (209) 223-6378. This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
