Officials from James City County are searching for information on a canine responsible for leaving a man with Virginia Dog Bite Injuries after an attack that occurred last week. Records show the incident occurred on Sunday, June 16, at Windy Mill Mobile Home Park, located at the intersection of Jude Drive and Carol Lane in James City, Virginia.

According to an article by Channel 3 News, the victim was outside their house when a black and tan canine, wearing a blue collar, approached and bit them. Before the dog could be captured and held for animal control officers, it ran away.

Officials hope the public will be able to offer some information on the location of the dog. Otherwise, the victim may need to receive a series of injections to prevent the chances of developing Rabies.

The incident highlights the dangers a dog bite can pose and leaves many citizens wondering what they can do to prevent being bitten.

The Norfolk Personal Injury Lawyers with Lowell “The Hammer” Stanley say a person should never attempt to pet a strange dog without receiving permission from the animal’s owner first. If a person feels a dog is going to attack, they should avoid making eye contact with the animal while slowly backing away.
