Boy Bitten by Dog While Riding Scooter Near Quedgeley Canal Path

Gloucestershire Police are appealing for information after a 12-year-old boy was bitten by a dog while riding his scooter along a canal path in Quedgeley.

The incident occurred around 12:30 pm on Thursday, June 18, near Darleydale Close. The boy reported that a grey Whippet approached him, jumped up, and bit his shoe, causing minor foot injuries.

Although the dog’s owner—a woman described as white—leashed her dog and pulled it away, she did not check on the boy’s condition before walking off.

Authorities have been investigating to identify the woman and are urging her to come forward with details of the incident. They also welcome information from any witnesses who were nearby at the time.
