Description: I am reporting a dog bite that occurred on 05/20/26 at approximately 10:20 PM on the public sidewalk at approximately 38–40 Montgomery Street, Boston, MA 02118. I was walking on the sidewalk when a dog that was off leash bit me on the posterior portion of my upper left thigh. The owner had two dogs — one on leash and one off leash; the off-leash dog was the one that bit me. I was not touching or interacting with the dog. The bite did not break the skin (it left a bruise / red mark). Owner information (provided at the scene): Name: Frank Hamm Address: 32 Montgomery Street, Boston, MA The owner provided a current rabies vaccination certificate at the scene, issued by Angell Animal Medical Center: Rabies tag number: 000047 Vaccine: BI Imrab 3TF (3-year), valid through January 3, 2027 I am requesting that this incident be documented and that the dog’s license and vaccination status be verified. The dog was off leash at the time, which I understand is a violation of the city leash ordinance. I also filed a report with Boston to Police Department: report number 262042704; I’m also including a photograph, which includes Mr. Hamm and the two dogs Reporting party: Name: Richard Cook Phone: 617-834-6390 Email: richardcookmd@gmail.com Address: 567 Tremont St #6, Boston, MA 02118
