Janesville resident Anisa Sanfratello said her 10-year-old daughter Makyia was bitten by a neighborhood dog Friday. The incident happened while the girl was rollerblading around the block near Tripoli Road in Janesville, some time after 6 p.m.
Although she was not present at the time of the incident, Sanfratello said her daughter turned a corner on the block and a dog ran up and attacked her in the street. Someone who witnessed the incident told Sanfratello the dog owner assured the 10-year-old the dog âdoesnât biteâ prior to the animal approaching the girl.
âThe dog owner was completely negligent and didnât have control of the dog at all,â Sanfratello said.
