Yorkville - A woman was issued a city ordinance violation citation because of a dog bite following an investigation by Yorkville Police.
The dog bite occurred Sunday morning around 9:00.
Officers issued that ticket to 44-year-old Michele Schuster of Titus Drive in Yorkville.
The victim who was bitten told police that he was running in the 2000 block of Titus Drive when the dog ran up to him and allegedly bit the man on his right calf, puncturing the skin.
The exact breed of the dog was not released by police.
But here is a photo of the dog that looks like a pit bull/lab mix
The victim was treated at a nearby hospital and did not require any stitches.

“I don’t understand the fascination with that breed”
Anne Vickery, Kendall County Board Chairman and chairman of the Animal Control Committee
Yorkville — Kendall County Animal Control has an overcrowding problem that could mean an unpopular operational change.
--------
That could mean a change in the shelter’s current “low-kill” operation.
-------
Vickery said (a part of the) problem is that many animals at the shelter are “unadoptable” because they are mean or cannot be around other animals.
-------
She singled out the breed of American pit bull terrier, or dogs with that in a mix, as a major culprit.
-------
She said 60 to 70 percent of the dogs in the facility are some kind of pit bull, and they keep coming in.
