Wakefield Road between Oulton and Rothwell, where the dogs were found and seized

The American Bulldogs were caught on Wakefield Road early on Friday morning after a dog owner reported the attack, which left the dog needing vets' treatment.

Multiple police vehicles were seen on the main road at its junction with Oulton Drive.

West Yorkshire Police are now working to track down the dogs' owner.

American Bulldogs are not a banned breed in the UK.
