The pet was being walked through Moor Park at around 6pm on Tuesday when it was attacked by two Staffordshire Bull Terrier-type dogs off their leads, a spokesman for Lancashire Police said.

A man and woman believed to have been walking the animals, which also hurt the Chihuahua’s female owner, are now being hunted by officers after fleeing in the direction of Moor Park Avenue.

It is believed they may have got into a nearby vehicle.

There have been several dog attacks across the Fylde coast in recent months, including at Wyre Estuary Country Park in Stanah in September, when a golden Labrador guide dog was attacked while being walked by its 69-year-old owner, prompting calls for tougher punishments for those who allow their pets to be dangerously out of control.
