Attack Prompts Warning Of Aggressive Animals At Dog Park

MARTINEZ (BCN)



The City of Martinez has issued an advisory about safety procedures at the city's Temporary Dog Park adjacent to the John Muir Amphitheater, following the recent attack of a dog there by other dogs, resulting in moderate injuries.



The advisory, posted on the city's website this week, describes "recent reports of aggressive animals" at the temporary dog park near the Martinez marina. A Sept. 11 social media post described an attack of a small gray and white dog with several puncture wounds. The poster said her dog was attacked by four huskies.



The city advisory says dog owners/handlers are legally responsible for controlling their dogs at all times, and that aggressive dogs must be immediately removed from the dog park. Violations can be reported to Contra Costa County Animal Control Services at (925) 335-8300, with whom complaints may be filed.
