The incident occurred as a dog park on Wellington Street at about 5:30 p.m. Tuesday.
The dog is described as a purebred Bernese Mountain dog, black, white, and brown in colour, and not yet fully grown.
HPPH said at the time of the incident, the dog was being walked by a female who stated that she was taking care of the dog for a sibling.
HPPH is investigating this incident to verify if the dog is up-to-date on its rabies vaccination. Otherwise, the scratch victim may need to complete a series of rabies shots.
