The story of missing pup DeeDee won the hearts of students in Marian School's Room 15.
The students have been working on persuasive letters to Hamilton City Council as part of their class work, in a bid to get DeeDee returned to her original owner.
Hamilton News July 25 edition outlined Erin Majurey's story of her missing dog DeeDee. By the time Ms Majurey was told her dog had been found, DeeDee had been rehomed. Council sent a letter to the family but did not use the phone number on the microchip to contact them.
The family did not receive the letter from council informing them DeeDee was at the pound, as they had moved address, but says they received letters from other council departments to the new address.
Ms Majurey was told by the council she could not have the dog back, that they had followed correct procedures and did not have to phone her, only send a letter when the dog was found.
