HELENSBURGH police are on the lookout for a dog owner whose pet allegedly attacked a female runner.
A 39-year-old woman was said to have been out running on the trails behind the Hill House on Sunday evening, May 10 when a brown and white collie dog bit her on the leg.
Police say the bite fortunately did not break the skin, though it did leave bruising.
