SAINT ANTONIO – A dog owner will likely deal with criminal charges after his bulldog sent a kid to the health center.
San Antonio cops reacted to a call after a 9-year-old was bitten in the ankle by a dog. An grownup likewise was nipped by the dog and took a look at by physicians.
Both individuals are anticipated to be okay.
The dog’s owner will likely deal with charges for the dog bite and possible fines due to the fact that the animal didn’t have a rabies vaccination, cops said.
The dog is presently in Animal Care Services care, where the animal’s future stays uncertain.
If the owner gives up the dog, a/c will keep it, however it will likely not be rehoused.
“Generally speaking, if an animal has a bite history, we don’t feel safe putting that animal back out into the public. Therefore, the only choice that we have is to euthanize that pet,” said Lisa Norwood with a/c.
a/c said owners most likely face the effects if a dog bites somebody.
“Even if they’re just playing, even if they’re just in the same room together, always supervise children around animals,” Norwood said.
A/C has YouTube videos explaining dog bite awareness and how dogs interact utilizing body movement.
