In the late morning of Friday, Oct. 25, a male resident was bitten by a dog on 10th St., Lyndhurst. The Lyndhurst Health Department is looking for the owner and/or the dog, so that the person bitten does not have to undergo the postexposure treatment for rabies, which involves four inoculations over a 14-day period of time and is very costly. The dog in question is described as a small dog, weighing approximately 25 pounds, with curly, dark brown hair. The dog was not wearing a collar but there was a yellow tag on the dog’s ear. Anyone with information is encouraged to contact the Health Department weekdays at 201-804-2500 and/or the Lyndhurst Police Department after hours at 201-939-2900.
