A teenage girl was bitten on her thigh by a German shepherd in a dog attack in Thorplands, police have said.
Officers today appealed for witnesses following the dog attack, which happened last Tuesday, at 5.30pm, in Sulby Road, Thorplands.
A 16-year-old girl was walking through the wooded area in Sulby Road with some friends, when she noticed a man with a dog.
As they got closer, the dog bit the girl on her thigh, causing bruising. The owner then walked off with the dog.
The dog is described as a cream coloured German shepherd.
