Dog attack at Bonney Lake, animal services asks for help

In Bonney Lake, Washington, a dog attack on July 26 has led Metro Animal Services to request public assistance in locating the owner of an unleashed dog involved in the incident. The attack occurred while a woman was walking her two black Goldendoodles near Allan Yorke Park Turf Field when a dog, suspected to be a Pitbull mix, charged at her pets. The unleashed dog reportedly latched onto one of the Goldendoodles' legs and shook it violently, causing distress to both the dog and its owner. Witnesses reported that the dog's owner, dressed in a purple sweatshirt, engaged in a heated argument with the victim's owner, dismissively claiming that "the dog has no teeth" before departing the scene. Metro Animal Services has urged anyone with information about the incident or the dog's owner to come forward, providing contact details for tips.

The incident highlights the ongoing issue of unleashed dogs and the responsibilities pet owners have in ensuring public safety. As the investigation continues, the community's response will be crucial in resolving the matter. This case serves as a reminder of the potential dangers posed by uncontrolled animals in public spaces.
