Dannevirke police are appealing for help to identify the owner of a dog that killed a pet chihuahua.

Robyn Cornish was walking her 2-year-old pet Pixie on Wednesday last week when a pitbull-cross attacked her. Both dogs were on leads.

"The pitbull saw Pixie and just went for her," Ms Cornish said. "It all happened so fast ... There was blood everywhere - I was covered in it - and after it was all over, Pixie died in my arms."
