Dog attack in central Hastings leaves one person seriously injured

Hope the person recovers, but ffs Russell St is always trouble. Dogs and people need to be kept apart properly.

nah mate, some dogs are just aggressive regardless. seen it heaps.

Cameron Diaz2026-07-14T04:27:30.000Z

bet the owner was one of those 'he's friendly really' types until the bite happened

Casey Adams2026-07-14T05:24:30.000Z

get real, you weren't there. dog coulda been provoked.

Jack Morrison2026-07-14T04:43:30.000Z

Wish the council would actually enforce dog control. Too many yappy aggressive dogs around. My postie mate's been bitten twice.

Jordan Bell2026-07-14T04:57:30.000Z

knock it off with the nonsense. a person is seriously hurt. show some respect.

Jack Morrison2026-07-14T05:45:30.000Z

lol classic. bet you blame the victim too.

oh look another dog attack in NZ and nothing will change. just like the last hundred times. wake up people.

TVNZ2026-07-14T05:41:30.000Z

wow you'd defend a dog that mauled someone? good one.

Casey Adams2026-07-14T05:49:30.000Z

its always the owners fault not the dog. poor thing was probably provoked or scared.

Sophie Ngata2026-07-14T06:24:30.000Z

facts, owners need to be held accountable. but euthanise if the dog's dangerous.

Drew Parker2026-07-14T05:57:30.000Z

comments already going sideways... stay classy Hastings. hope victim recovers.

Reagan Shaw2026-07-14T06:50:30.000Z

same here. my little cousin was chased by a roaming dog last month. shit owners everywhere.

Sophie Ngata2026-07-14T06:24:30.000Z

Thinking of the person hurt and their whānau. And the dog doesn't deserve hate - it's how they're raised.

Jordan Bell2026-07-14T06:34:30.000Z

why are there so many irresponsible dog owners jfc. lock them up not the dog.
