ENP STAFF REPORTS

A Newfane man was taken by Mercy Flight to Erie County Medical Center Sunday night after being bitten by his own dog.
The 27-year-old was bitten on both wrists by the pit bull, which had bitten two other people on Sept. 15, according to the Niagara County Sheriff's Office.
The dog was removed from the man's apartment by the Niagara County SPCA and the Newfane Dog Warden.
Niagara County Undersheriff Michael Filicetti said he's not sure what is in store for the dog, which has now reportedly bitten three people — all of whom needed medical attention at ECMC — in less than two weeks.
"All I can say right now is we're following it up with the SPCA. The dog is in the custody of the SPCA," Filicetti said this afternoon by phone.
"At some point it could be deemed a dangerous dog," he said, but added that determination would be up to the SPCA.
