Woman Bitten By Dog At East Bay Regional Park

The dog owner did not provide any information to the victim.

EAST BAY — A woman hiking at Anthony Chabot Regional Park was bitten on the leg by a dog on Feb 21. The dog owner did not remain at the scene and the hiker was not able to get any information from the dog owner, such as whether the dog was up to date on its shots.

It happened around 2:15 p.m. on the Goldenrod Trail, east of the Clyde Woolridge Staging Area. East Bay Regional Park Police are hoping that someone who was at the park at the same time can provide information that will lead to the dog and its owner.

The dog owner is described as a light skinned woman, about 5 feet 11 inches tall, slim build, with brown eyes, and brown shoulder length hair. She was wearing a black jacket, dark pants, and white tennis shoes at the time of the dog attack.

The woman had two dogs with her. One was a yellow Lab. The other was a medium sized black dog with a short upright ear with brown fur on the inside and a light brown stomach. The bite victim did not know the breed of the dog or if it is a mutt.

Anthony Chabot is a dog friendly park but dogs must be "under control at all times." Also, park rules state. " If you are a party to a dog bite or dog attack incident, you must stop and offer assistance and exchange information with the other party/parties."
