The Manitowoc Police Department is looking for assistance in locating a dog owner. On October 18 at approximately 2:50 pm, a 62 year old man was bit on back side of his left upper thigh by a Yellow Labrador Retriever at Waldo Blvd. and Fleetwood Dr.
The male was walking south bound on Fleetwood Dr. when a woman in a gray top wearing headphones was walking north bound with a Yellow Labrador Retriever. As the two passed each other, the dog turned and lunged toward the male and bit him. The male returned home and reported the incident later in the evening.
The suspect dog was described as a medium sized Yellow Labrador Retriever that was almost white in color. It is unknown if it had any tags or collar but was described as being led with a darker colored leash.
A female subject, thought to possibly be the owner of the dog, is described as a female white in her 30’s wearing the above described clothing. The female asked if the dog bit him, he told her that it did, she said she was sorry and continued walking northbound.
If you have information on the possible owner of the dog, please contact the Shift Commander at 686-6551.
Anyone with information about this incident is encouraged to call the Manitowoc Police Department at 920-686-6500 or Crime Stoppers at 920-683-4466. Anyone with information may remain anonymous.
