An 84-year-old woman was injured by her own golden retriever Wednesday morning when the dog bit her for taking away something that the dog had gotten from the kitchen table, Athens-Clarke County police said.
Upon hearing the woman scream, her husband went into the home from outside, but he left open the front door and the dog ran through it and got away, according to police.
The woman was taken by ambulance to St. Mary’s Hospital and Athens-Clarke County Animal Control would be following up with her later on, according to police.
