The owner of two “dangerous” stray dogs, one of which tried to bite a man and the other a dog, is wanted by police.

The animals, described by South Yorkshire Police as bull breeds, approached a man walking his dog in a field behind allotments on Avenue Road in Wath Upon Dearne, Rotherham, on Wednesday, November 6.

According to officers, one of the dogs, white and large with brown spots, tried to bite the man and his pet.

Police said since the incident they are looking to trace the dogs’ owner or anyone who knows the animals’ whereabouts.
