    A pet owner has been arrested after reports that a teenage boy was bitten by a "very big" dog in Colchester.

    Police said the 13-year-old was riding his bike down Fords Lane at around 2.15pm on 5 November when he was approached by a man and his dog.

    It is alleged the dog bit the boy on his leg leaving four wounds that needed hospital treatment.

    Police said they were unable to say what breed of dog was involved but described it as "very big".

    A 37 year-old man from Colchester has been arrested on suspicion of being in charge of a dog dangerously out of control causing injury.

    He has since been released on bail until 24 January.

    Police are keen to hear from anyone with information, CCTV, dash cam or other footage in relation to the incident.

    It is frequently said that dogs are good judges of character, isn't it?

    What... a DOG was arrested on suspicion of being in charge of a dog
    dangerously out of control?

    Where?

    When?

    How?

    Or perhaps the dog did the arresting, in which case, "destruction" seems
    an inexplicably harsh reaction)?

    Is there a canine equivalent of "Mr Arsehole"?

    Nevertheless, they DO say that dogs are excellent judges of character,
    don'#t they?

    I was cruising in town recently, I'd done an effort so just recovering, but a massive dog came up barking and jumping at the bike - not being a big fan of them, I looked for the owner who was shouting at the dog, but feeling pretty helpless, I just
    sprinted off. The dog however, chased me for a while - I could only hear the owner as I went off saying, "don't just ride away then" as if I was meant to stop, sort out their dog and let it jump around at me...what a moron
