Peebles police station, in Rosetta Road.

A pedestrian walking along the footpath linking Eliot’s Park and Rosetta Road was bitten around 2.10pm on Sunday, August 11.

That attack – by a black and brown dachshund-type dog said to be large for its breed – left the walker with a calf injury requiring medical treatment.

The owner of the dog involved is described as a white woman about 5ft 2in tall, in her early fifties, of heavy build and bespectacled, with short dark hair.

She was wearing dark-coloured clothing and had a second dog with her, said to be small, dark in colour and long-haired.

Any witnesses able to help police track down the dog owner are asked to call Peebles police station, in Rosetta Road, on 101, quoting incident number 0849 of August 12.
