iStockA dog walker has been taken to hospital after being assaulted and robbed in Houston.
The 40-year-old woman was walking her dog in the Ardgryffe Crescent area around 6.50am on Friday when she was approached by another woman in a black and pink waterproof coat with a Great Dane puppy.
The victim was assaulted and had her belongings stolen from her before the attacker made off.
