Dog Bite Reported

Laramie Police Department

On February 28, 2020 a man was picking his children up from Spring Creek Elementary School when a dog bit him on the thigh.

The victim reported that an adult female was walking north on 11th Street with a female child/student and two dogs.  The dogs “dragged” the female towards the man and that the smaller of the two dogs bit him.  The female, the child, and the dogs then continued walking north towards Sheridan Street.

The victim described the first dog as a reddish Shepherd mix and the second as a smaller, leaner dog, weighing approximately 35 pounds.

Locating the dog in question is important for rabies monitoring purposes.

Anyone with information on the whereabouts of this dog or the owner is asked to call the Animal Control Unit at 721-5385 or the non-emergency Dispatch line at 721-2526.

The Animal Control Unit would like to remind everyone that animal bites could involve exposure to rabies and that all animal bites must be reported to the Animal Control Unit immediately.
