WOODSTOCK - Oxford County Public health are looking for a woman with short blonde hair after a local Woodstock woman was bitten by a dog at College Avenue Secondary School. 

According to Public Health Inspector Ainsley Pemberton, around 2 p.m. on December 28th the local resident and the blonde woman's dog were play fighting inside a fenced area when the resident stepped in to break up the dogs.

The dog involved in the biting incident is being described as Boxer or Rottweiler, brindle in colour and goes by the name "Ace". 

An investigation into biting incidents is required when skin is punctured or there is an exchange of fluids. The woman who was bitten requires proof of vaccination in order to avoid rabies vaccinations.

Oxford County Public Health reminds residents that Rabies is a fatal disease. In the event of a dog bite residents should report dog bites to Public Health to confirm vaccinations are up to date.
