On September, 4 just before 5.30pm officers responded to reports of a child being attacked by two dogs while on a park in Sheffield.
It is believed that while the four-year-old girl was playing, two loose dogs, believed to be XL Bullys approached the girl and began to maul her, causing injuries to her body.
The girl was taken to hospital, her injuries are not life-threatening.
The dogs were later seized from a property and remain in police kennels.
A couple of days later, on September 6, at 4pm South Yorkshire Police received a call for reports a young boy had been bitten by a neighbour’s dog.
It is believed that while the two year-old child was sat on his mother’s knee, the dog, thought to be a Staffordshire Bull Terrier lunged towards the child, several times, causing injuries.
The boy was taken to hospital, his injuries are not believed to be life-threatening.
The dog was seized and has since been put down.
