®ear Sir:
I was bitten by a dog on January 19, 20Q1, about 1730. I was taking t„y daily
walk on unahele Stmt in Kona ~cae sulsdivision (I walked that stmt
before and the same dog had .barked at rrae previously.)
I passim the large sire mix bred dog and he started to bark at rne. die then
ran alter me bit my calf, ~y sear end, and proceeded to bite my rear end again.
The oniy reason the dog snapped biting me was because another d®g appeared and
distracted the dog.
I was tes~il'ged and I remember screaming prettgr loud. IVo one carne out from
the house which appeared to be the owner the dog., The girl from across fihe
street ca€~ae oufi and asked me what happened. Dean while the owner of the dog
appeared and I informed her that her doh -had dust bitten me, I showed her my
calf Arad torn pants.
I went home and checked n,y injury and noticed that it was bleeding so I had my
friend take me to Kona I~ospital. I was informed that I needed to report this
incident to the poiice since it's a dog bite,
(3ffer Kahiwa took the report. She inforn°~ed me that the owner of the dog ~oill
be notihed9 The ofhcea did ca#l me and informed see a few days later that the
owner of the dog was weaned.
I was advised by my friends and neighbors to call the ~lumane Society and
report the inc€d~nt.
I called mane Society and spoke with Kathy/Manger at humane Society. I
gave her the detailed aeport of the dog bite. however, she told r~'ie to
get the poiice r~port¢ hospital report, and further she told rr~e to go talk to
the girl who fives across fpm the dog owner and get a reports Then she Maid me to
bring everything to ~lumane Societe myself.
~ E --x.,..-_,~
~•k.,a~-T-.~.....,,,
I have nit talon any of the materials to the humane society yet since I feel very
uncomfortable visiting the neighbor or the oar~ner of the dog vuho bit me 3
times9
As of this date (almost 5 months), I have not heard from the humane Society.
I had contacted the owner of the dog and she has since reimbursed me for
hospital bills and she lnf®rmed me that the dog is nova tied.
I hope that in the future the Romans Society wrould help a person tike me
Clear up the matter th€~ut the victim having to gather sensitive inf®rmat€on.
Sincerely,
lay C~emell®
