Pet killed, man injured during dog attack<br />
• By Sophie Cornish<br />
DOG CONTROL officers were<br />
called to a property two weeks<br />
before a pensioner was attacked<br />
by bull terriers which then killed<br />
his bichon frise.<br />
Roger Stare, 73, is now seeking<br />
answers after his best mate<br />
Charlie was mauled to death<br />
in the Prestons subdivision on<br />
Friday.<br />
Mr Stare suffered multiple<br />
wounds and bruising during the<br />
unprovoked and surprise attack.<br />
“I would like to know why this<br />
happened . . . the dogs should<br />
have never been there in the first<br />
place,” he said.<br />
The attack happened on Te<br />
Rito St about 11am, while Mr<br />
Stare was taking Charlie for his<br />
daily walk.<br />
Two bull terriers pushed their<br />
way through an insecure window<br />
in a house and charged at them.<br />
A Te Rito St resident, who did<br />
not want to be named, told The<br />
Star yesterday she called dog<br />
control two weeks ago when the<br />
bull terriers escaped from the<br />
property.<br />
Mr Stare now wants to know<br />
why the dogs were able to escape<br />
again, this time with lethal consequences.<br />
The city council has impounded<br />
one of the bull terriers but the<br />
other dog was allowed back to<br />
its owner after being classed as a<br />
“passenger to the attack.”<br />
A city council spokeswoman<br />
was unable to provide details yesterday<br />
of the outcome of the call<br />
out two weeks ago.<br />
Mr Stare said the dogs’ owner<br />
INJURIES: The aftermath of<br />
the attack on Mr Stare.<br />
rents the property they escaped<br />
from and he has been issued a<br />
48-hour notice to remove the<br />
animals from the subdivision.<br />
The Prestons subdivision<br />
covenant lists that residents shall<br />
not keep any dog which in whole<br />
or part appears to be a pit bull<br />
terrier, rottweiler, japanese akita,<br />
japanese tosa, dogo argentino or<br />
fila brasileiro on any properties.<br />
The city council spokeswoman<br />
said the dog involved in this<br />
attack is being held in custody<br />
at the animal shelter, until<br />
this investigation has been<br />
completed.<br />
DEVASTATED: Roger Stare lost his<br />
best mate Charlie following an attack<br />
by two bull terriers which killed the<br />
seven-year-old bichon frise.<br />
