A 34-year-old Sunrise Terrace woman made an emergency call late Saturday afternoon, on the heels of the blizzard, and reported that a dog bite sustained a week earlier was bothering her and may be infected, according to police.
A Department of Public Works crew cleared snow from Cottage Street to Downs Road to allow EMS personnel and police officers to reach the woman's house, but when they got there, she reportedly declined transport to the hospital.
She explained that she had already went to St. Vincent's Medical Center on Jan. 27, the day that her mother's German Shepherd bit her, police said.
The woman's mother was given a written warning for failure to license her dog.
