GWENT Police are appealing for information after a dog was reportedly mauled near a Cwmbran park on Saturday.
A Jack Russell owner was walking in the Clark Avenue area of Pontnewydd, where they say a black Staffordshire Bull Terrier attacked their dog.
Both dogs then ran in the direction of the Cenotaph, and the police have not yet been able to trace either of them.
They are now trying to find the owner of the dog involved.
The condition of the Jack Russell is currently unknown.
