Dog always obedient for me, claims man
A Riverton man's plea to claim back ownership of his dog failed at a Southland District Council meeting yesterday.
Timothy Pearce was disqualified from owning his dog or any other dog until May 2010 after councillors at a meeting in December found he had not been a responsible owner.
Mr Pearce had received two infringement notices for failing to keep his dog under control or confined, in accordance with the Dog Control Act. The council classified the dog as dangerous.
In November he was convicted for unlawfully releasing his dog from the Riverton pound.
Mr Pearce told councillors at the meeting he did not think it was right that they could take his dog from him.
"I just think it's a bit of a vendetta against me."
Mr Pearce said his dog now lived "quite happily" at his mother's home in Riverton. The dog had been neutered, always wore a muzzle and was always on a chain on her property, which had dog-proof fencing. more>>
