During Thursday’s search for Rachel Helene Boivan, a frightening incident happened. A RCMP dog attacked a Penticton newspaper reporter. Joyce Langerak was taking pictures of officer Cy Kelly and his dog when the attack happened. Langerak was taken to hospital where about a dozen stitches were needed in her inner thigh to close the puncture wounds from the dog bite. Langerak says she's shaken but otherwise okay. Officers say this is not the first time the dog has bitten an innocent bystander. The RCMP have now launched an investigation and until it is completed, the police dog will remain on a leash at all times.
