A bite on the ol' keystone is not good, especially by county officials
Our Daily Dose has since changed the headline of a serious dog bite story, but not in time to evade a subscriber's ribbing. The following is an email shared with The Woodland Journal:

Dear Editor:
This headline is hilarious! I really wish those health officials would stop biting girls and just get on with their business of looking for dogs.

the story came in late and health officials wanted it in the paper ASAP... Well, they got it and because I deliberately had fun with the headline, the story was the second most-read piece on our web site.... Like I said, once in a while we get to have some fun.
