Police said the 52-year-old, from Woore, accepted her dog was out of control and bit another person.

Constable Mick Sturland, of West Mercia Police's safer neighbourhood team for Market Drayton, said: "A lady has admitted allowing her dog to be out of control and biting someone in Woore. She received a caution.

"This happened when her golden retriever ran after and bit a jogger who was jogging along a public footpath through her land."

Last month a woman was bitten by two dogs described as Staffordshire bull terriers during an attack while out walking in Telford. The victim was walking a greyhound in Heatherdale, Leegomery
