An appeal for witnesses is being made after a puppy was attacked by two dogs in Telford.

Witness appeal after puppy is attacked by two dogs in Telford

The incident occurred at 6.50am on Wednesday 30 September, in land behind Wombridge Way.

It is believed that two Staffordshire Bull Terriers which were not on leads attacked a beige Cocker Spaniel puppy. The puppy was very shaken, but luckily did not sustain any injuries due to its owner intervening, which led to him receiving an injury to his hand.

One of the Staffordshire Bull Terriers was black and white in colour, and the other was grey.

The dogs were accompanied by two men who were said to both be white, aged in their late 40s, around 5ft 9 tall, with short light brown hair. Both men were thought to be wearing dark blue zip-up sports jackets with a red emblem of TT races, and wearing blue jeans.

Police would like to speak to anyone who may have witnessed the incident or who may have any information. Please call police on 101, quoting incident 54 of 30 September.

Alternatively information can be given anonymously to the independent charity Crimestoppers, by calling 0800 555 111 or via their website.
