Grey Bruce Public Health is requesting the public’s assistance in identifying the owners of a dog that was involved in a biting incident on Saturday, July 20, 2024, in South Bruce Peninsula.

Between 3 and 4 p.m., a man was bitten by a brown, medium-sized dog at the Sauble Lodge Motor Inn, 213 2nd Ave. N. in Sauble Beach. The dog is described as being about two years of age, with curly fur, and weighing about 20 to 30 pounds.
