Huron Perth Public Health is looking for a dog that bit a person in Stratford on Thursday.

The incident occurred between 1 and 1:15 p.m. in a parking lot adjacent to the Schaeffler Aerospace Canada Inc. building.

The dog involved is described as a short hair boxer, weighing around 80-90 pounds. It was wearing a black winter coat and has white markings on the face.

The owner is described as appearing to be in his 50s, tall, thin and wearing a dark coloured hat and mittens.
