Requested Information:Information about any incidents with Assist/service dogs in the Manawatu District Council area
Response:

I can advise that the Manawatu District Council Dog Control Bylaw 2019 is due for review on 10th October 2029.   

Unfortunately, Council does not specifically record if an incident involves an Assist/Service dog.  To determine if an incident did involve an Assist/Service dog, staff would need to review every incident individually.  This would incur a charge as it would be very time consuming.  

However, we only have 4 known Assist/Service dogs in our area and the Animal Control Officers are unaware of any incidents involving these dogs.
