Update for July 8
The second pit bull involved in biting two residents of Maplewild Ave S.W. in Burien is still on the run, according to Sgt. John Urquhart with the King County Sheriff's Office.

Urquhart added that deputies are no longer actively involved in the search - a responsibility that now rests with Burien's animal control, Burien CARES.

With regards to possible charges being filed against the dogs' owners, Urquhart said animal control will make that decision.

Washington State law RCW 16.08.040 states, "The owner of any dog which shall bite any person while such person is in or on a public place or lawfully in or on a private place including the property of the owner of such dog, shall be liable for such damages as may be suffered by the person bitten, regardless of the former viciousness of such dog or the owner's knowledge of such viciousness."

The Highline Times is waiting on a call back from Burien CARES to update the search and any possible charges that might be filed.
