Dog bites customer in the face at Home Depot, owner walks off, sheriff says

A customer at a Home Depot in Tennessee was left with severe injuries to their face after being bitten by a dog. The owner of the dog reportedly walked off after the attack, leaving the victim to receive medical attention. The local sheriff’s office is now asking for help in identifying the owner and the dog.

According to the sheriff’s office, the incident occurred when the dog, described as a large breed, bit the customer in the face in the parking lot of the Home Depot in Murfreesboro. The owner of the dog then allegedly walked away from the scene, taking the animal with them.

The customer was transported to a local hospital for treatment, and authorities are now working to identify the owner of the dog. The sheriff’s office has released photos of the dog in the hope of identifying both the animal and its owner.

Dog bites are a serious problem, and incidents like this one highlight the need for responsible pet ownership. Owners should always keep their dogs under control and ensure that they are trained and socialized properly. Incidents like this one can have serious consequences for both the victim and the animal involved.

It is important to remember that dogs are animals, and even the most well-behaved dog can become aggressive or unpredictable. As pet owners, it is our responsibility to ensure that our dogs are safe and well-behaved, and that we take appropriate precautions to keep others safe as well.
