VERMONT -- Police are looking for a black-and-white dog that was involved in a biting incident on Monday.
According to Animal Control Officer Cathy Barrows, a woman was walking her dog on a leash near the Common when another dog got loose from its owner and charged, causing injury to both the dog and its owner.
The extent of the injuries is not known at this time.
Following the attack, the owner of what appeared to be a female pit bull mix fled the scene with her dog.
"At this point we have no idea if the dog is vaccinated for rabies," Barrows said. "If the dog is not located the owner may have to undergo the rabies post-exposure series of shots."
The woman who was in charge of the dog that got loose and allegedly attacked the woman and her dog is described as average size with dark hair and in her 20s, according to police.
She may also have called the dog Sissy, Sassy or a short name that began with the letter "S," and had another smaller brown dog on a leash, the victim told police.
The police are asking the owner of the dog or anyone with information about the incident to come forward and contact them at 802-257-7950.
