A dog bit a 3-year-old girl outside a restaurant on San Diego's popular Pacific Beach boardwalk Monday.
The girl, who has not been identified, was bitten in the cheek outside World Famous restaurant on Ocean Boulevard near Pacific Beach Drive shortly after 11 a.m., San Diego County Department of Animal Services Deputy Director Dan DeSousa said.
DeSousa said the young girl asked whether she could pet the dog first, and the owner agreed, but when she reached out to touch the Catahoula Leopard Dog, it bit her. The dog was on a leash, DeSousa said.
She was taken to Rady Children's Hospital with minor injuries.
The dog will be in quarantine for the next 10 days, which is standard procedure.
No other information was immediately available.
