Debra Morrison said she thought the two men she talked with during a recent Saturday afternoon stroll with her dog at Wildwood Park were just curious about the white, furry goldendoodle.
But at some point in the conversation, one of the men jogged away and the other picked up a rock and struck her in the forehead, Morrison said. In the attack, she let go of her leash and Monroe ran away.
Now Morrison is reaching out to the public for help in finding her 1-year-old golden retriever-poodle mix, missing since the March 21 attack.
"I was scared to death," said Morrison, 49, a respiratory therapist at Holy Spirit Hospital. "I don't know what the intent or purpose of this was."
Morrison said she was walking Monroe on a secluded trail about 2 p.m. when the men, one of whom was holding the leash of a chocolate-colored Labrador retriever, approached her.
After the attack, Morrison treated herself for head lacerations and bruises, she said.

Lost dog found at Annville farm

Monroe, a 1-year-old golden retriever-poodle mix, was reunited with its owners today after being missing for ten days.
A dog that's been missing for ten days since its owner was attacked at Wildwood Park in Harrisburg was reunited with its family today after a woman living on a Lancaster County horse farm recognized the pooch from a story in The Patriot-News.
Monroe, a 1-year-old, white goldendoodle, had been living with a family in Annville since shortly after the March 21 attack, the dog's owner, Debra Morrison, said. Morrison, 49, had stopped to chat with two men on a secluded trail about 2 p.m. when one of the men hit her in the forehead with a rock and she let go of her leash.
How Monroe ended up 25 miles east on a Lancaster County farm remains a mystery, Debra's son, Zach Morrison, said. The golden retriever-poodle mix was unharmed and was treated by a veterinarian, the Morrisons said.
When Monroe returned home this afternoon, he went right to his dog bowl, had some food and water and fell asleep on the couch, Debra Morrison said.
