Police have made a fresh appeal over the incident on Town Field

Police in Doncaster have launched a fresh appeal after a man was attacked by a dog at Doncaster Pride.

Officers have now issued images in connection with the incident.

A South Yorkshire Police spokesperson said: “Last month, during Doncaster Pride a man was bitten by a dog and suffered serious injuries.

“We are urging the owner of the dog to come forward and speak to officers, and as our enquiries continue, we are releasing images to help identify the owner.

“On 8 August at 2pm it is reported that a man in attendance at Doncaster Pride on Town Field, Thorne Road approached the owner of a dog, reported to be a shepherd breed, potentially a 'Carpathian Shepherd' called ‘Bonnie’ and asked to stroke it.

“The owner said yes, and during the act, the dog bit the victim’s arm causing serious injuries.

“The owner is described as a woman in her 30s with dark brown hair. She was wearing a white top and pink hat.”

“We are also keen to hear from anyone who witnessed the incident.

“If you believe you can help, please get in touch quoting incident number 764 of 8 August 2026.”

Last month attendee Richard Carrington explained how he suffered severe wounds to his arm after being attacked by the dog and said: “This could easily have been a child.

“The dog attacked me near the rear of the crowd, close to the VIP entrance.”

Mr Carrington says he believes the dog’s owner was also carrying a folding chair and umbrella.

He said: “I would like to thank the people who assisted me to the first aiders and the first aiders themselves.”
