Runner was approached in February
A dog walker in Exeter is being sought after a runner was nipped repeatedly by a dog on Mincinglake Valley Park in Exeter.
The man was out running on Friday 7 February when he was approached by two dogs off the lead; one was a German Shepard type dog, and the other was a smaller dog, believed to be a bull terrier.
The owner called the dogs back, however, only the German Shepard answered the recall. The bull terrier proceeded to nip the back of the runner’s legs until the runner walked to the owner so she could get hold of her dog.
Officers would now like to identify the dog owner.
Police are urging dog owners that they should be kept under control and if they don’t have a good recall, then they should ideally be kept on a lead in public spaces. This is especially so if they are known to bite.
Anyone with information are being urged to contact the police.
