A Guelph female faces charges after a male and his dog were both assaulted Thursday afternoon.

Approximately 4:40 p.m., a male was walking his dog downtown when a female unknown to him approached and began throwing flowers at the dog. The male asked her to stop, at which point the female kicked the dog in the snout causing it to yelp in pain.
