On 6/5/16, Catasauqua Police responded to a call to investigate a complaint regarding an aggressive dog. When they arrived at the Peach Street location, the officers observed a pit bull/mastiff mix attempting to break through its owner’s fence. The aggressive dog was unrestrained and unsupervised.
As the dog was in the process of being quarantined at a nearby kennel, it bit one of the officers. Another cop shot the mixed breed dog to end the dog attack. The Lehigh County dog bite victim was treated at St. Luke’s Hospital.
