Grey Bruce Public Health is requesting the public’s help in identifying the owner of a dog involved in a biting incident that occurred Friday, Oct. 3, 2025, in Huron-Kinloss.

At about 7:30 p.m., an individual was bitten by a large black dog, possibly a Bullmastiff, while walking their own dog on Havelock Street, near the Presbyterian Church, in Lucknow.

The dog, which was not on a leash, ran across the street before biting the victim. The person who was with the dog that bit the individual is described as female, in their mid-50s to mid-60s, with grey hair.

Staff at Grey Bruce Public Health needs to confirm the dog involved in this biting incident is not infectious with rabies.

By verifying the health of the dog, the victim can avoid receiving the post-exposure rabies treatment.

If you have any information related to this incident, please contact Grey Bruce Public Health at 519-376-9420 ext. 1530.
