Media: Waikato Herald

Topic: Dog attack on police officers

Enquiry

I just want to check to see what the status of the dog is that attacked police officers at a property on Old Taupo Rd on September 19.

I understand animal control had uplifted the animal involved - has the dog been put down?

Response

We provided the following information:

From a Council Spokesperson:

The dog is currently at the pound while police complete their investigation.

Note to reporter: Police are leading the investigation, so any further enquiries (other than about the dog itself) should be directed to them.
