Police investigate after woman, 81, and pet injured in dog attack

Police are investigating after an 81-year-old woman and her dog were injured in an attack by another dog.

The woman and her pet were walking close to the junction of Beeches Road and Beeches Avenue in Clydebank when the attack happened at about 3pm on Thursday September 19.

A larger dog, described as being light and dark brown in colour, approached and attacked the smaller dog.

When the 81-year-old woman tried to separate them, she was bitten on the leg by the larger animal.

She was taken to the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in Glasgow to be treated and her pet needed treatment from a vet.

The larger dog and its owner left the area following the incident, walking in the direction of Beeches Avenue and Carleith Avenue in the West Dunbartonshire town.

Police urged anyone who witnessed what happened, or who may have information that could help identify the owner of the dog responsible, to contact them on 101, quoting incident number 2320 of Thursday September 19 2024.
