On Thursday afternoon, Victoria Spence was walking Fleur, a 3-year-old, 7kg Norwich terrier, on their usual route through Greys Ave. Fleur quickly deteriorated and Spence rang the vet, who advised her to bring the dog in straight away. Spence said she wanted to alert other dog owners who walk their pets in the area and to raise awareness of the rising use of methamphetamine in central Auckland. "The extreme weirdness of it is what has been really shocking, and the terrible, terrible effects on a loved family pet."
