New Canaan Dog Bites Boy in Face

A New Canaan dog underwent a 10-day quarantine at home last month after biting a boy in the face, records show. The dog, a 13-year-old brown-colored male mixed-breed named Petey, “was interacting” with the boy at home on Jan. 28 (a Tuesday) when the incident occurred, according to a police report obtained through a public records request. The dog’s owner—who also is the victim’s father, according to the incident report—told police that the boy “had a small puncture wound on his cheek” and was taken to a hospital with the injury, the report said. Police withheld the boy’s age.
