Update on Waiuku dog attack
Two dogs seized by Waikato District Council following a serious attack in Waiuku on Tuesday night remain impounded while
staff and family discuss the future of the 5 year old male mastiff involved.
General Manager Customer Support, Sue Duignan says “Both dogs are registered to a Whangarei address but were being cared
for at the Waiuku property when the attack occurred. Because of this there are a number of scenarios we need to work
through with the victim’s family and the dogs’ owner.
“Understandably this is a difficult time for everyone involved but we’re pleased to learn the victim of this attack has
come through surgery well her recovery looks positive.”
