Port Police Report: Port Man Bit After Attempting to Pet Dog

This dog was just not in the mood when a 47-year-old Port man approached the pup and its owner.

The man was only attempting to pet the dog when they crossed paths at 12:09 p.m. Aug. 19, but the dog bit the man.

The 22-year-old Port woman who owned the dog was able to show proof that the animal is up-to-date on its shots and also licensed with the city.
