What do I do if someone else's dog bites me?
If someone else's dog bites you, contact Bowie Police Communications at 940-872-2251 to report the bite (this is required by law) and tell them everything you can about the dog: the owner's name, if you know it; color of the dog; size; where you saw it; and if you've seen it before. These details may help animal control officers locate the dog.

Dogs are wonderful companions. By acting responsibly, owners not only reduce the number of dog bites, but also enhance the relationships they have with their dogs.
