Appeal after dog and owner injured in attack near Harrogate

North Yorkshire Police has launched an appeal for witnesses.

Police are appealing for witnesses after a dog and its owner were injured in an attack in Darley.

The incident happened outside the village shop and post office on the morning of 28th September.

A small Chihuahua-type dog was reportedly attacked by a larger dog that emerged from a van. Its owner was also injured when she tried to intervene.
