‘Surprise! I’m back!’

Although Queenie is technically in quarantine until August 25 due to the puncture wound inflicted by an unleashed pit bull and its unidentified owner, animal control gave permission for her to resume going to the park with Tim on the weekends to get her fill of goodies from the Treat Lady.

The officer visited us earlier this week and fell in love with Queenie, saying she’d like to come back next week to see her again. Although we don’t know the attack dog’s vaccination status, she said it was clear that Queenie, who has been vaccinated, isn’t showing signs of rabies.

The animal control officer has visited the park hoping to see the pit bull owner, without success, but says they really need something concrete like a license plate number to identify the man. This has become more urgent since another dog was attacked by the pit bull the other day, receiving the same kind of puncture wound that Queenie suffered.

What a lovely, lively hustle and bustle on the street around a bench with all these dogs and their owners having what looks like a serious conversation. Well observed! V

What a great capture and it is terrific Queenie is doing so well. I am glad attention is being paid by animal control to what happened to Queenie. With all the cameras around Washington, I wonder if a building camera in the vicinity might not have captured the incident. I would also think the park might have cameras for safety reasons. I hope this incident will not have any long term issues for Queenie.

Gosh, good news she's clear of rabies. That's a terrible, terrible infection.

Nice, pleasing image. It good Queenie is OK. The pit bull owner probably doesn't want to risk a 3rd strike.

I’m glad she got to visit with friends and get some treats. I hope they catch the owner of the pit. V

That's good news about Queenie, no so about the Pit Bull or it's owner.
I hope both are found.

Looks like Queenie is taking the high ground approach to the treat lady. Glad to hear that she is able to get back to the park.

Queenie is the only dog who goes to the back for a closer look, and to be photographed. Smart girl !
The man on the left seems to be questioning Mary about something? Is he your Halloween neighbor? Haha. ~VVVVV+++~

She's so focused on the treat. It's a shame that the rogue dog and owner are spoiling the park.
