A HIGHFIELDS woman has shared images of a dog attack this morning.

Bec Cooper posted a warning to residents on a community discussion page to be wary of roaming dogs.

In the post, Ms Cooper said both she and her dog were attacked by the animal.

She shared photographs of her elbow where the male dog appeared to have bitten her.

Ms Cooper said she had reported the incident to the Toowoomba Regional Council and would visit a doctor to avoid possible infections.

Someone claiming to be the owner of the dog came forward on the thread, apologising to Ms Cooper.

The man said his dog was not usually aggressive, and said the wind must have blown the gate open from the yard where the dog was kept.

The post garnered an enormous amount of attention from the Highfields community before it was deleted late this afternoon.
