Public health officials looking for dog involved in incident in Stratford

HPPH shared in a media release on Tuesday that the incident occurred at noon on April 11 on Snake Hill Road. The dog involved in the incident is described as medium-sized with short black hair. The breed is unknown.

The dog was unleashed when the incident occurred, and was thought to have come from the Romeo Street or Ontario Street direction. The presumed owner of the dog is described as a tall, thin male, about mid-thirties and with brown hair. He was wearing jeans and a plaid shirt.
