As a result the woman was treated for bite injuries at Dumfries and Galloway Royal Infirmary, and her dog was treated at the vet for what are described as severe injuries including multiple bite and claw injuries across its back and stomach. The dog is now recovering at home.

We ask anyone who may have been in the area and saw anything, or who can help identify the owner of the two greyhound type dogs to call us on 101 at Dumfries.”
