Girl, 14, treated for dog bites

A 14-year-old Royal Oak Township girl was treated for dog bites Saturday after a pet was let loose in a park, the Oakland County Sheriff's Office said.

Deputies were dispatched to Pasadena and Wyoming on a report that a teen had been attacked and bitten by a dog while playing there, the sheriff's office said.

The mixed-breed dog was brought to the fenced-in park about 5 p.m. after being walked by two boys, ages 8 and 10, who told deputies they had been home alone all day and decided to walk the dog.

It wasn't clear whether the dog was intentionally let loose.

The girl suffered bites to her abdomen and right foot. Her parents took her to Providence Hospital, Southfield, for treatment. Her condition was not known Sunday night.

Oakland County Animal Control took possession of the dog.

The boys were turned over to their mother.
