Bad bite at dog beach'
Sunday afternoon our two pups visited the Westside "dog beach" near the lighthouse. While fetching her stick, our 3-year-old was badly bitten by a young reddish-colored golden retriever-type dog. It was very sudden and with blood everywhere my first priority was to get to the vet. The dog's owner was a 50-ish man with a beard -- he downed his dog but made no attempt to help. As dog people, I'm sure he'd like to know how our pup is doing. I'm writing with the hope he or someone who knows him will contact us.
