OWNER ATTACKED BY DOG AT SAN ONOFRE



SAN ONOFRE, Calif. - In yet another dog attack at the beach, the owner of "Cuddles" was treated Sunday for wounds on her hands and arms Sunday after she was bitten by her 8-month-old pet at Surf Beach. The unidentified 36-year-old woman told park rangers that the dog bit her repeatedly after it was allowed to run free and defficate all over the beach. "She was attacked for no apparent reason," said animal control officer Ralph. The woman's husband was also bitten when he tried to stop the dog, but his injuries were less serious, rangers said. The dog, named "Cuddles", was picked up by the state's Animal Care and Services Department, said Hal Dairywimple. The woman told rangers she no longer wanted the dog. The attack is the latest in a flurry of beach dog attacks.

Doris, I don't think it will ever be safe! I'd keep the kids as far away from the place as possible!
