A man has been bashed with a fence post, leaving him seriously injured, and his small dog kicked to death in a street attack in Melbourne's outer southeast.

The 43-year-old man had been walking his two dogs at Hastings, on the Mornington Peninsula, when two men and a woman riding mini motorbikes rode past him about 9.40pm (AEDT) on Friday, detectives say.

An altercation broke out and the man was hit with a fence post and his brown mini fox terrier cross jack russell was kicked and killed, police said on Saturday.

The other dog, a golden retriever, ran away.

The offenders, wearing helmets and protective clothing, then fled on their Chinese mini bikes and were last seen riding west along Hodgins Road.

The 43-year-old man was taken to Frankston Hospital with serious injuries.

Just so sad. Poor man to suffer such violence and lose his friend in this way and poor little dog.

RIP little brown dog

Oh dear poor man & his little foxie dog. Such hero's these pathetic b@st@ds. The goldie was lucky to escape by the sounds of it.

Hope the man recovers ok. R.I.P little foxie
