Police are helping Department of Conservation staff to find the owner of a dog that killed a native fur seal pup in a horrific attack.
The Herald on Sunday last weekend reported on the case in which the dog, believed to be a Staffordshire-cross, killed the young sea mammal near
Otakamiro Point, at Muriwai.
The attack happened in a place where dogs are banned.
Retired landscape photographer Bin Bai saw the attack but was too far away to help.
However, he took photos of the three-minute attack through a long lens -- including photos of witnesses.
