Police are appealing for witnesses after a believed XL Bully was attacked and subsequently died in Burnham Lane, Slough.
At around 6.05 pm on Sunday, September 29 an incident took place in which a dog was deliberately attacked and seriously injured.
The dog, described as a large light brown dog, was taken for emergency treatment but died from its injuries.
It is believed that the dog was an XL Bully, but enquiries are ongoing to ascertain the breed.
It is believed that the offenders arrived in a black vehicle and also made off in the same vehicle.
