Police say the women were treated for their injuries at hospital and later released while the dog was unharmed.
They say they are looking for a middle-aged white man, who stands 5-10 with a slim build, who was wearing sunglasses and a baseball cap, and who was carrying a walking stick at the time.
They are seeking any witnesses to help identify the man.
