The man, aged in his 40s, was targeted in an alleyway off High Street, Ponders End, just after 5pm on August 24.
Metropolitan Police believe he was attacked by a group of four men who were with a light coloured pit bull or bull terrier dog.
He was hospitalised and continues to receive treatment for a fractured eye socket, Met Police said on Thursday.
Detectives are appealing for witnesses of the attack.
Detective Constable Roisin Mulvihill, the investigating officer, said: “This was a serious assault which left a man with injuries which could impact the rest of his life.
“We are carrying out a number of enquiries to locate those responsible and I’d ask anyone who can help us do that to contact us immediately.”
A review of CCTV from the area suggests a number of people were nearby when the attack happened, and may have information that can help the investigation, police said.
