Dog Attack in Hastings Leaves Mother and Puppy Injured | Auckland News

A Hastings woman narrowly escaped a vicious dog attack while walking her 10-month-old cavoodle, Lottie. A Rottweiler lunged at Lottie, biting Sophie on the arm and grabbing the puppy’s leg — causing serious injuries. As panic set in, a second Rottweiler approached, heightening her terror. Though the owner eventually yelled at his dog to stop, he didn’t intervene physically. Sophie suffered stitches and Lottie needed urgent vet care. Authorities are investigating, urging locals to report stray dogs — because even well-behaved pets can turn dangerous without proper control. The owner remains unidentified.
