A man delivering newspapers was bit by a Dalmatian Tuesday afternoon.
The man told Fergus Falls police he was delivering papers along the 400 block of Birch Avenue when he walked around the side of a home and surprised a leashed Dalmatian, which bit the man on his thigh, leaving an abrasion the size of a silver dollar. The man planned to have the bite evaluated by a doctor, according to police.
Authorities filed a dog bite report and advised the dog’s owner to quarantine the animal for 10 days. Otter Tail County Public Health will follow up on the incident, police said.
