Capture of pack leader brings end to dog attacks

A vicious dog believed to be the ringleader in a string of fatal animal maulings in Orakei has been locked up.

Dog control officers found a brindle-coloured un-neutered male staffordshire bull terrier roaming the suburb’s streets on July 2 and impounded it.

"There have been no incidents since then so although there are other dogs involved, this dog might have been the dominant dog," Auckland City Council animal contracts manager Clare Connell says.
