Your dog bites are going way up in the Tenderloin

Okay so, listen, the City just dropped some numbers that are kinda wild, and not in a good way, especially if you're walking your pup in the Tenderloin. Dog bites across San Francisco? They’re on the rise, apparently. But what’s really jumping out from the data released today, Thursday, March 19, 2026, is that these incidents are straight-up skyrocketing in the Tenderloin district. Like, way more than anywhere else.

It's one thing to hear about general trends, but when you see a specific neighborhood getting hit like this, it makes you wonder what’s actually going on. Is it more dogs? Less responsible ownership? More stress in an already dense and kinda chaotic part of the City? This isn't just a quirky stat; it’s a public safety thing, especially for residents and folks working in that area. City Hall needs to dig into *why* this is happening and not just shrug it off. We’ll be watching to see if they actually propose some solutions, or if this just gets filed away.

That's the City, fam — fog, hills, and all.
