Police Are Appealing For Information After A Woman’s Pet Dog Was Reportedly Killed By Two Other Dogs, While Out On A Walk

Police are appealing for information after a woman’s pet dog was reportedly killed by two other dogs, while out on a walk in Rotherham.

On Sunday (16 April) at around 6.40am, the woman was walking with her two dogs across fields between Maltby and Braithwell, when she came across a man with three dogs.

It’s reported that two of them then attacked one of the woman’s dogs, five-year-old Tadi. Tadi, who is pictured, sadly died as a result of his injuries.

The man said to have left the scene with his three dogs without giving the woman his contact details.

His two dogs, which were not on a lead at the time of the attack, are described as black lurcher/bulldog crosses. The man also had cream puppy with him.

The man is described as being white, aged between 35 and 45, with dark hair and of medium build.
