Six weeks on from Rocky's traumatic event
17 October 2024We have had such a positive response from the community and local Council. The park has had increased police and Auckland Council warden patrols, and the Wardens have been going above and beyond, fossicking in known gathering spaces within the bushes surrounding the park. Today we saw them recover a large bag from one of those spaces where the community suspects drug use is happening.
We do still need to be vigilant though. Rocky found a Tux dog biscuit that had a suspicious green addition to it hidden in the leaves. We reached out to Purina, who have arranged to test it and check what it is, as it looks like possum poison, which scary and more malicious.
With that said, we still love living in the inner city - it's vibrancy and proximity to so much culture and events. We are now just more careful with where we take our pup and keep him in sight at all times.
I've attached a video link that was posted on Stuff of Rocky and the other two dogs who also ingested drugs in the park.
Much love to you all, Heather, Rhys, Jack and Rocky
