SPCA to teach children about dangerous dog behaviour

The SPCA is rolling out a new programme to teach children to recognise the signs of certain dog behaviour in the hope it prevents bites and attacks on young people. It comes after a fortnight of serious reported attacks, including a 62 year-old woman who died following an attack in Northland, and a father and his teenage son seriously injured in Christchurch on Saturday. SPCA Chief Scientific Officer Dr Arnja Dale spoke to Lisa Owen.
