BEXAR COUNTY, Texas – The Bexar County Sheriff’s Office said it is investigating what led up to a dog biting a 2-year-old girl in far west Bexar County.
Deputies responded to a home just before 2 p.m. Friday in the 2300 block of Rosillos Peak, which is located near Loop 1604 and Marbach Road.
During a Friday news conference, Bexar County Sheriff Javier Salazar said a dog bit the girl on her head and the girl was “bleeding.”
However, the sheriff said the girl suffered non-life-threatening injuries and was taken to a local hospital for further treatment.
According to Salazar, deputies detained two dogs in a patrol vehicle and were awaiting Bexar County Animal Control crews to arrive on scene.
A Bexar County spokesperson told KSAT on Sunday that both dogs are at the animal care facility and are in quarantine.
The sheriff’s office said both the dog owners were issued two citations Sunday — one for allowing the dogs to run free and one for lack of rabies vaccination.
If any further dog attacks are reported, BCSO said arrestable charges could be a possibility.
