Community fundraising for dog killed and two others injured in Kinross dog attack

A fundraiser has been set up for a dead dog who was attacked and killed by a trio of dogs on a high street in Perthshire.

Police were called to High Street and Burns Begg Street in Kinross around 2.30pm on Sunday following reports of three dogs having been attacked by other dogs.

One dog died, and two others were injured and taken to the vet for treatment, while a woman sustained minor injuries after falling and was treated at the scene.

A fundraiser launched by the Kinross Community Group said the dog was killed by “three loose, out of control dogs”.

They claim the same dogs also attacked the other two dogs left injured in a separate incident.

A post on the GoFundMe read: “We are hoping to raise funds to help with vets bills for the two injured dogs and very sadly a dignified cremation for the deceased dog.

“Every penny we can raise will go to the dog owners at this incredibly sad time.”

A Police Scotland statement on Sunday read: “Around 2.30pm on Sunday, October 20, 2024, we were called to a report of three dogs having been attacked by other dogs on High Street and Burns Begg Street, Kinross.
