Child bitten by dog in North Yorkshire town

A 9-year-old child was playing football on the grass at Old Penny Gate, Knaresborough, when he was bitten on the leg several times by a dog.

The dog is described as a blue ‘sausage dog’ breed, which is blue/grey in appearance. 

It happened at about 12.15pm on Saturday 13th June 2026.

The owner took possession of his dog, but subsequently gave what is now believed to be a false name and phone number to the Father of the injured child.
