On November 16 at approximately 4:35 p.m. the Calvert County Control
Center received a 911 call in reference to hearing gunshots and people
screaming. A second phone call was received from a man who stated that he had
shot a dog that was attacking his granddaughter in the 700 block of White Sands
Drive in Lusby. A seven year old girl
was bitten in the face/neck area by a pit-bull type dog and was taken to Calvert
Memorial Hospital for treatment. One
pit-bull type dog, blue with a white chest, was transported to the Mid-Atlantic
Animal Specialty Hospital (MASH) on Old Town Road in Huntingtown where he
succumbed to his injuries. Animal Control Officer Sheckels is still
investigating this bite incident and is still attempting to locate the owner(s)
for the deceased dog. The second dog, which ran from the area, is described as
a pit-bull type breed that is white with either brown or black spots.
If anyone has any information on the identity of the dogs’ owner(s) or may have seen the two described dogs prior to or after the incident are asked to contact the Calvert County Sheriff’s Office at 410-535-2800.
