A local couple were taken to hospital after being attacked by a dog in North Edinburgh on Friday, police have confirmed.
The 71-year-old man and 65-year-old woman were walking their own dog when the incident happened at around 4pm on Friday in the park at the junction of Boswall Parkway, Grierson Road and Boswall Drive.
The dog – described as being a pit-bull type – was unrestrained and was with its female owner.
The dog is described as a male, tan-coloured pit bull type breed, with a strong muscular build and large head. It may have been wearing a leather harness.
Its owner was said to have been a woman aged between 30 to 40, 5ft 5in tall, with a large build, blonde hair and wearing a black parka style jacket.
The couple were treated in hospital for their injuries but were released on Friday evening.
PC Carolyn Cutter said: “This was an incredibly dangerous and terrifying incident and we are urgently seeking to trace the owner and the dog.”
