A woman was bitten by a dog Sunday afternoon in Cottage Hill.

The owner surrendered the dog to Escambia County Animal Control, and the dog will be held in quarantine for 1 0 days, according to Kaycee Lagarde, spokesperson for the county. Escambia County Animal Control cited the dog’s owner for a animal nuisance with an attack.
Authorities have not said how the woman came into contact with the dog.

To get over yourself. Obviously if you cared enough about dogs running around and bugging you for the so “30 years” you’ve lived here you would’ve done something by now. So dogs THAT WERE IN THEIR OWN PROPERTY, “they’re running the streets” how does that make any since. These dogs were on their own land. Not that this is any of your business. It doesn’t concern you, it’s not your dogs and not your property they didn’t “attack” this lady on the street. She trespassed onto the property she didn’t belong on. .
I’ve lived in Cottage Hill for over 30 years and these dogs have problematic since the day we got here. There used to not be a leash law in this area, but perhaps that’s changed. I certainly hope so. And to the folks whining about “you don’t know the other side of the story”; if it takes multiple animals running the streets to “protect” you, that’s not protection. That’s a public nuisance that you’re (obviously, now) liable for. Might want to rethink having Fido running the streets.
Thanks for the information B.P. I will look into that.
That dog and a smaller dog would circle my vehicle as I drove down Chavers. Circling at least 10 times as I drove through the area. So aggravating! I should’ve ran them over! Some dog owners out here don’t care enough to keep up with their dogs..
They lost their dog for 10 days due to rabies observation. STATE LAW!! The circumstances leading to the exposure are irrelevant. The owner and victim could settle that in court because that’s a civil matter.
Charlotte, If you fill out the forms that animal control told you to fill out and get them notarized, and turn them in, they will do something about it. Its a little time consuming but thats what it takes. The first time I submitted the two forms animal control was out the next day. After that I submitted them again and they came out. Yesterday they came out and took the dog, a pit bull that has attacked two of my dogs on my property. Animal Control will help you but you have to fill out the forms. Call them and ask to talk to officer Wilson.
There were 3 dogs and no one saw any dog bite anyone.
This story is two sided. It’s really sad that you can’t get both sides to this story. Like how the dog was simply protecting his family and how these people were uninvited onto the property this lady was bitten on. The children of the lady that was bitten warned their mother before hand of these dogs. Now because of someone’s decision to walk onto someone else’s property a family has now lost their protecter and those children have now lost their sweet companion.
Do you actually know the full-side of this story? No.
Do you actually know that the family was not invited over? No.
Did you know that the children warned the lady about these dogs before hand? No.
Did you know that they were not invited over onto the property? No.
Because once again. You can never get two sides to any story.
This dog was protecting his family. These people were never invited over onto the property where the attack happened.
A family has now lost their pet and companion, because someone came over onto THEIR property uninvited, when all the dogs job was to do is protect those sweet little children.
Isn’t this interesting. I live in Cottage Hill, and have three Pit Bull dogs that live across the street that charge us when we pull into our driveway, fence fight my dogs, charge kids riding their bikes, and people that are just talking a walk. Just know this doesn’t happen every day, but it does happen and you never know when they are going to do this. I’ve called animal control four times, and unless I get all kinds of proof, they can’t do anything. I guess my proof will be when someone is mauled, bitten, gets killed, so I guess I’ll have to wait until one of us is the unlucky one.
