‘The dog responsible would have been covered in blood as a result and the owner would have been aware that something had happened.
‘We would like to hear from anyone who has information that could help our investigation.

‘Our advice to dog owners is to keep your dog on a lead when in or near a field with livestock.
‘Ultimately, if you are not confident that your dog will return promptly on command, it should not be off the lead.’
