Dog In Seaside Heights Attack Quarantined
A dog has been quarantined at the Ocean County Health Department's animal shelter. The dog attacked three people on Sunday as they were strolling along the Boulevard.
According to Brian Lippai, a spokesman for the health department, the dog, a 1-year-old gray Cane Corso named Bear, was impounded and taken into custody on May 14. The quarantine period for canines involved in bite incidents normally lasts 10 days.
A 35-year-old Williamstown man, a 35-year-old South Toms River woman, and a 7-year-old South Toms River boy was attacked by a 1-year-old gray Cane Corso named Bear near the Hotel Charlee Villas at 1211 Boulevard, according to Seaside Heights Detective Steve Korman.
According to Korman, the man's right arm was bit, the boy's left forearm was bit, and the woman's right hand and left forearm both sustained significant lacerations. Following treatment, all three were freed.
Until the police arrived, three men cooperated to restrain and control the dog, according to Korman.
Bobbi Dunn, of Beachwood, received summonses for possessing an unlicensed dog, an unmanaged dog, and a dog at large, according to Korman.
The three humans who were hurt were not receiving rabies preventive vaccinations since Bear was properly immunized against the disease, according to Lippai.
After a dog bite, the owners will typically take their dogs back, according to Lippai. A dog may occasionally be sent to the county "if they feel it's too dangerous or are afraid of any further dangerous situations," the man stated.
Bear's owner Dunn has requested the return of her dog to the county authorities.
According to
New Jersey Certified Animal Control Officers Association, under New Jersey state law, dog owners are responsible for any dog bite injuries that arise when the person bitten
is in a private space or lawfully in a public space, "even if he or she used reasonable care to restrain the dog or to protect or warn others."
Beyond the initial 10-day quarantine, the legislation has no additional requirements.
