Dorset Police are appealing for anyone with information to come forward after a woman was bitten by a dog at an East Dorset country park.
The incident occurred at around 10.30am on Thursday 19 March 2020, as the woman in her 40s was runningin Moors Valley Country Park with her dog when another dog, believed to be a Border Collie, approached them.
The Collie was barking and circled around them before biting the woman’s leg, causing two puncture wounds that bled immediately.
She told a man and a woman who were with the dog that she had been bitten and they replied that they would keep walking and left the scene, with the Collie following them a short time later.
Dorset Police also received a previous report of a dog believed to be a Collie biting a dog walker on Wednesday 29 January 2020 at the country park and was made aware by staff that there had been a further five reports of a Border Collie attacking runners.
