It was in May that the incident took place. In questioning, the woman said that she was standing by a car when the dog suddenly attacked.
The owner has stated in questioning that the dog was stressed because he had clipped its claws just before the incident. The dog is said to have then escaped from the home and attacked the woman.
Now the owner is charged with causing bodily harm. According to a document from the county administrative board, there have been two previous reports to the police regarding the dog. Both reports must be about the dog biting people.
