Dog's death prompts warning over plant

A dog's death has prompted a public health warning over a poisonous native plant. The dog died from eating karaka berries in an Auckland park.

Auckland Medical Officer of Health Dr Simon Baker says the long oval green and orange berries fall from trees at this time of year and are attractive to both children and dogs.

He says parents need to be aware of what plants around their homes are poisonous and teach their children not to eat or gather any berries or plant material without adult supervision.
