No compo for corgi coverup

A kennel manager who faked the death of a corgi had his claim that he was unjustifiably dismissed upheld by the Employment Relations Authority.

But the authority said Peter Stott was not entitled to compensation after it was revealed he had faked the dog's death.

Mr Stott was fired by Redvale Canine Centre, on the Hibiscus Coast north of Auckland, in June 2006.

A month earlier a corgi had been set for adoption by the Humane Society. On the morning the dog was scheduled for its pre-adoption vet check Mr Stott took the corgi off the checklist because he hadn't finished the paperwork.

He then rang Animal Control Services and told them the dog had been destroyed for failing the check-up. MORE>>
