The owner was observed as a slender male. Another man was at the scene inside the residence.

Iowa City Animal Services is seeking information on the rabies status of the loose dog. If anyone has any information, they are encouraged to contact Iowa City Animal Services directly at 319-356-5295 or The Iowa City Police Department at 319-356-6800.
