An XL bully attacked another dog on a school road while unmuzzled and off its lead in public.
The attack happened at around 7.45pm on Monday when a golden retriever was attacked by the dog in Hollycroft Road in Emneth.
The exact location of the incident is unknown, but Hollycroft Road is home to two schools - Emneth Academy and Emneth Nursery School.
Neither the golden retriever nor its owner suffered any injuries.
A spokeswoman for Norfolk Constabulary confirmed that investigations into the attack were under way.

Since February 1, it has been a criminal offence to own an XL bully without an exemption certificate.
Owners of the breed must have the dog neutered, microchipped and kept on a lead and muzzled in public, among other restrictions.
Police can seize unregistered prohibited dogs and their owners face a criminal record and unlimited fine.
Despite the restrictions, attacks have continued, locally and nationally.
