Help Map Altadena's Dog Attacks

Since we reported news of a dog attack near Casitas and Figueroa readers have described other attacks in Altadena. If you know of an attack please add it to our map.

As reported yesterday on Altadena Patch, .

Since we've wrote that story, several commenters have noted other nearby attacks and we had a suggestion from one reader to create a map recording attacks, even minor ones, to give people a sense of where problem areas may be.

The map above can be easily edited by readers; simply click the link suggesting viewing the 'Map of Dog Attacks' map in a larger window.  Then select 'edit' go to the icon showing the blue marker and place one on your block.  You can also add a description of the dog attack there.

Those who would prefer not to edit the map can also leave locations in the comments and we can add them to the site.

Two caveats: 1) Please don't give out anybody's exact address; the closest cross streets will be sufficient to identify an area where there has been a problem. 2) Please limit your entries to actual incidents where there has been an attack, not an area where a dog behind a gate barks or lunges or other issues not involving an actual attack.  Any attack, even a minor incident, is worth noting.
