## Resource

A beloved family dog named Rory was fatally attacked by an off-leash pitbull-type dog on a popular riverside walkway in Palmerston North — a place where dogs are required to be leashed. Despite heroic efforts by bystanders, Rory died from his injuries. The suspect dog, described as mostly white with a dark grey patch over its right eye, remains at large, and its owner — a white man, about 5’8”, with dark hair and a blue cap — is still being sought. City officials are urgently reviewing CCTV and dog registration records to identify the dog and owner. Authorities are reminding all dog owners of their legal responsibility to keep pets under control, and are urging anyone with information to come forward. This heartbreaking incident underscores how rare yet devastating these attacks can be for families and pets alike. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
