Police issue 'keep dogs on lead' plea after sheep killed near Harrogate
Police are warning dog-owners to keep their dogs on a lead around sheep
Police have urged people to keep dogs on leads in the countryside after a sheep died at Norwood, near Harrogate, following an attack.
North Yorkshire Police is investigating after four sheep were attacked by a dog on Friday, which left one dead.
The force described the dog involved as being light ginger in colour, and a similar size to a Hungarian Vizsla, but with a larger head.
Officers have appealed for further information about the incident.
A police statement today added:
“It is particularly upsetting at this time of year, as many sheep are carrying lambs.

Anyone with information on the incident can contact the force and quote reference 12230052829.
