A person was taken to hospital after intervening in a fight between two dogs at their Dunedin home. Police were called to the property in Panmure Ave, Calton Hill just before dawn to reports of a person injured by a dog. St John also attended and transported the moderately injured person to Dunedin Hospital by ambulance. Dunedin City Council compliance, animal and parking services team leader Peter Hanlin said the person was bitten when they intervened between two dogs fighting. When the Otago Daily Times visited the home yesterday morning dogs could be heard continuously barking inside and the property was well-fenced.
