A teenage girl will be reported to prosecutors after a large bulldog-type dog attacked a collie in East Kilbride.
Police shot dead the “dangerously out of control” dog following the attack on Sunday.
Three people sustained minor injuries during the incident.
Police said that an 18-year-old woman will be reported to the Procurator Fiscal in connection with alleged offences relating to the Dangerous Dog Act.
Officers were called to a report of a large bulldog-type dog attacking a collie dog on Mannering in the town at around 10.25am.
