A dog was left needing stitches after being bitten by another dog at a Nottinghamshire park. Police are seeking the owner of the offending canine, believed to be a Weimaraner, that officers say was not on a lead before the attack at Gedling Country Park at around 9am on Tuesday, March 7.
The other dog, a Hungarian Vizsla, needed three stitches on her side. Police Constable Annie Bloomfield, of Nottinghamshire Police, said it was an "extremely alarming and distressing" incident for the injured dog’s owner.
The owner of the offending dog is described as a white man, about 5ft 8ins tall, of slim to medium build and aged in his late 40s to early 50s. He was wearing a fluorescent orange jacket and a dark-coloured bobble hat.
PC Bloomfield added: “Our inquiries are ongoing to understand the full circumstances of what happened and we are urging the owner of the offending dog to come forward or anyone who recognises him from the description to get in touch with us.” Anyone with any information is urged to call Nottinghamshire Police on 101, quoting incident number 423 of 7 March 2023, or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
