A dog was injured after a collision with an electric motocross bike in Poole yesterday.
Dorset Police said the incident happened at around 11.30am on the footpath of Harbourside Walk, close to the junction of Green Gardens, Furnell Road and Labrador Drive in the town.
The rider, who was using a dark coloured electric bike described as a Sur Ron or similar model, did not stop at the scene and was wearing bulky dark blue or black clothing.
Winnie, a Jack Russell aged two, suffered an injury to her eye as well as cuts and bruises, but police said she is in a stable condition following the incident.
Police Constable Neil Wallis, from the Roads Policing Team, said officers were "thankful" Winnie was not more seriously hurt, but said the incident "could easily have had far worse consequences".
He said enquiries are continuing to identify the rider, and urged anyone who saw what happened, or who has dashcam footage from the area, to contact Dorset Police online with information.
