On April 9, 2014, a 7 yr. old girl and 8 yr. old boy were bitten by a dog that got loose from its home after someone opened the front door. The female Erie dog bite victim suffered a severe dog bite wound to her head. Surgeons used 6 staples to close the lacerations. The boy needed 12 stitches for his elbow wound.
The negligent dog owner handed over her dog to be tested for rabies and then euthanized. She will be charged with violating the PA Dog Law for failing to properly confine her dog and not having it licensed.
