Jim Morgan says goodbye to Sandy before his beloved pet was put down as a result of a dog attack last December. Photo: NZ HeraldA 95-year-old Kaikohe man whose beloved pet had to be put down just six weeks ago after a vicious dog attack has now himself been attacked by dogs. Animal management officers interviewed Morgan at his home yesterday morning, then visited the property where the dogs came from. If it was found the dogs were not under control the owner would be prosecuted and, if necessary, the dogs destroyed. Since the December 16 attack council officers had stepped up door-to-door registration checks of dogs in the Harold Ave area, resulting in dogs being impounded and "notices to register" issued.
