The child was riding a bicycle on Buckhorn Ridge Road near Pioneer Park and was chased and bitten by the 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. Public Health said that if the dog remains healthy by the end of quarantine, the child will not need to undergo a series of rabies shots. This email address is being protected from spambots.
