Topic: Dog attack on police officers
Enquiry
I'm writing a follow-up story about the dog attack on two police officers last Friday, and am seeking a response from the council to the below questions:
- What has happened to the dog?
- Will charges be laid against the dog's owner?
Please feel free to add anything further of importance or relevance.
Response
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.
