Chris Clark was bit on the hand on June 20th at Ferndale Park.
Chris asked the dog's owner if he could pet the dog and the owner said "yes", but the dog bit his left hand.
The owner disciplined the dog and apologized to Chris.
[The video clip says the man used his shirt to wrap the boy's hand and that the dog was a black Labrador named "Shadow".]
He was treated at a local hospital and is on antibiotics, but, Lorain County Health Officials want him to start the rabies shots immediately.
If the dogs owner comes forward with paperwork showing the dog is properly vaccinated, the boy won't need the rabies shots.
