CLEARFIELD – A weekend animal attack, which resulted in injuries to both a small poodle and its owner, is still under investigation, says Police Chief Jeff Rhone of the Clearfield Borough Police Department.
Rhone indicated the incident is being investigated by both his department and Animal Control. He said he was uncertain about the severity of injuries for those involved in the incident.
According to Rhone, a pit bull attacked a small poodle along West Front Street. He said the poodle’s owner attempted to retrieve her dog at which time she was bitten by the pit bull.
Rhone said the pit bull then attacked a second poodle. He said the dog had to undergo “immediate surgery” for its injuries. This morning, he said he was uncertain if the dog was still living.
Rhone said the woman was transported for medical treatment. He said she had been released from the hospital.
