Two separate dog bite incidents occurred on Saturday, June 8 within the city
limits. The first incident occurred at approximately 6:45 a.m. when an
18-year-old male was walking up a hill in the Hollywood Avenue area. A stray
black pit bull with a white chest approached the man from behind and bit him on
the left arm and leg and then ran off.
The second attack occurred at approximately 3:30 p.m. in a West St. Louis
Street neighborhood. A stray dog, identified as a white pit bull mix with tan
and black spots, came into a yard where an 8-year-old girl was playing. She was
bitten on the right bottom jaw and lip. A relative hit the dog with a pole and
it ran off.
Both areas will be patrolled for the next 10 days in an attempt to locate
and secure both animals. Anyone seeing dogs matching their description should
contact Hot Springs Animal Services, 501-262-2091.
