We received a call from a worried lady who was on a bus journey and witnessed a dog attacking a foal. The foal was lying down, resting, when the dog attacked it biting it's withers. The dogs owner kicked it off of the foal and carried on their way and the foal ran off
The lady didn't know how badly injured, if at all the foal was so called us to see if we could take a look. Our welfare assistant went out to see if she could find the foal or see the dog and it's owner. On arrival there were many foals fitting the description given so our welfare assistant checked them all. None of the foals checked were obviously injured and none looked distressed.
The incident was reported to the Dartmoor Livestock Protection Officer who is aware of this dog and is seeking the owner.
