Four dogs have been sized following a dog attack in Kinross on Sunday, 20th October.

At around 2:30pm Police were called following reports three dogs had been attacked by four other dogs on High street and Burns Begg Street, Kinross.

One dog died and two others were taken to the vet for treatment for their injuries following the attack.

A woman also suffered injuries when she fell during the incident. She was treated for minor injuries at the scene.

'Positive line of inquiry'

Chief Inspector Greg Burns said: “The dogs were contained within the property before being safely removed to ensure no further risk to the public.

“Officers are following a positive line of enquiry.”

Over £2,500 raised

A fundraiser, set up to secure funds for those impacted by the attack, has raised £2,545.

The GoFundMe has been organised by Melissa MacFarlane, alongside other admins behind the Kinross Community Group. The fundraiser says: "We are hoping to raise funds to help with vets bills for the 2 injured dogs and very sadly a dignified cremation for the deceased dog.

"Every penny we can raise will go to the dog owners at this incredibly sad time."
