FROM LAMBTON PUBLIC HEALTH

Lambton Public Health is seeking information about the location of
two dogs and their owners following two separate dog bite incidents that occurred in
Sarnia on March 30 and March 31, 2026, respectively.

The first incident occurred on March 30, 2026, at approximately 2:30 p.m. on East
Street North, across from The Nut Bar. The dog is described as a blond-coloured
Cocker Spaniel with a pink leash. The dog was being walked by a female with brown or
blond hair and was accompanied by a child in a stroller.

The second incident occurred on March 31, 2026, at approximately 4:45 p.m. on the
north side of Norm Perry Park. The dog is described as a medium-sized, light brown,
short-haired dog that was off leash. The dog was called back by the owner and they left
the area before the victim was able to obtain information. The owner of the dog was
described as a middle-aged white male.

If you have any information relating to the location of either dog or their owners, please
contact Lambton Public Health at 519-383-8331 ext. 3812 or toll-free 1-800-667-1839. If
