Humane Society Dog Bites 2-Year-Old Child at Local Museum

A distressing incident took place at the Riverfront Museum of Art in Columbus, Ohio yesterday evening when a two-year-old child was bitten by a dog handled by the Humane Society. The child is being treated for the injuries sustained in the incident.

According to eyewitnesses, the toddler wandered away from his parents and accidentally approached the Humane Society dog, causing the animal to nip at his hand. The mother of the child immediately rushed over to comfort and calm her child before alerting museum staff.

The local authorities have launched an investigation into the incident to determine the cause and liability. Officials from the Humane Society have been cooperative and released a statement stating that they are "distressed and apologize for the incident."

This incident has sparked concerns about the handling and supervision of service animals in public areas. The American Kennel Club emphasizes the importance of obedience training and proper control of dogs to prevent such accidents from occurring.
