(Jay Corella / The Astorian)Clatsop County Animal Control Supervisor Justin Dersham sits in his office with Ruthie, his foster dog.
His office responds to many calls about dog bites.
This year, there have been 77 dog bites reported so far, according to Clatsop County Public Health.
He said that as the county grows larger, an increase in the number of dogs — and dog bites — is bound to be expected.
