The Cornell University Department of Environmental Health and Safety is seeking assistance from the community in identifying the owner of a black, mixed-breed dog that was tied with a red leash to a bicycle rack outside the entrance of the new Mann Library building between 3-4 p.m. last Thursday, March 27. The dog bit a student, who may have to undergo a series of rabies "shots" if the dog can not be shown to be rabies-free. Anyone with information about the dog should contact Cornell Police at 257-1111. Thank you for publishing this important notice. (April 3, 2003)
