At the time, police said that the dog was on the lead and was being walked with a second dog which was not on the lead.
Following an appeal, a 24-year-old man has now been arrested and two dogs have been seized.
A spokesperson for West Mercia Police said that the breed of dog is yet to be confirmed, but it was initially described as an Alsatian.
They added: “Following an appeal at the weekend, a 24-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of causing grievous bodily harm after an incident where a woman was bitten by a dog.
“The incident happened at around 2.30pm on Friday 21 November on Warrensway in the Woodside area of Telford.
“Two dogs have been seized by officers as part of the investigation, and the man who was arrested has been released on bail while enquiries continue.
“We would like to thank the public for their help in coming forward to provide information which helped us to identify and arrest a suspect.
“Please note that a formal process with a qualified vet has to be followed to establish the breed of a dog, which can be a lengthy process, therefore we’re not able to confirm the breed at this time.”
