A Kurow woman says she is in "utter shock" at a man's attempt on Tuesday to lure her daughter into a vehicle with the promise of seeing puppies.
The incident happened about 6pm, after the girl and her mother stopped at Four Square in Bledisloe St while walking their dog.
The 11-year-old remained outside the store to look after the animal and while her mother was inside, was approached by a man who asked her if she wanted to accompany him to his vehicle to see puppies he said were inside.
She refused his offer and ran inside to tell her mother.
The mother, who did not want to be named to protect her daughter's identity, said the incident left them shocked and upset.
