76-year-old woman reportedly bitten by poodle after three dogs surrounded her in Sag Harbor
A September 24 report says a 76-year-old Sag Harbor woman sustained two calf bite wounds in an August 9 incident involving three poodles; an ambulance responded, while differing accounts remain about how the dogs escaped and which dog bit her.
Incident summary
Hoodline reported on September 24, citing Daily Mail and New York Post accounts, that three poodles belonging to fitness trainer Tracy Anderson surrounded 76-year-old neighbor Monica Enders in Sag Harbor on the evening of August 9 and that one apricot-colored dog bit her calf. The report described two bite wounds and an ambulance response. Anderson’s attorney disputed parts of the circumstances, saying the dogs escaped through a hole in Enders’s fence and that Enders remained conscious, walking and speaking as she was helped into the ambulance. The accessible reporting establishes a reported dog-bite injury and response but leaves the exact attack sequence and identity of the biting dog contested or unresolved.
Hoodline, citing Daily Mail reporting, said Suffolk County officials evaluated a dangerous-dog proceeding but the hearing was dropped after the victim initially could not identify which specific poodle had bitten her. The report also described alleged local dog-licensing violations involving Anderson’s husband. BiteDB records those reported procedural facts without treating them as an adjudication of dangerous-dog status, negligence, ownership liability, or criminal responsibility.
