Sioux Falls police investigating dog bite

SOUTH DAKOTA -- The Sioux Falls Police Department's Animal Control Division would like the public's help locating a dog that bit a woman.

It happened Friday evening at Spencer Dog Park.  The 37-year-old was with her dog at the park when her dog was attacked by an American Bulldog. The woman tried to separate the dogs and was also bitten on the hand, breaking the skin. 

The owner of the American Bulldog was described as a middle-aged man, with short hair, wearing a T-shirt and shorts.  The man was possibly at the park with his wife and kids and they were parked in the far east end of the dog park lot.  The dog was described as an American Bulldog, with brown patchy colors, and possibly wearing a blue collar.

Animal Control needs to identify the dog in this incident to verify its vaccinations.  If you have any information on this case, please call Animal Control at 367-7000.
