Good morning Nicole,

Thank you for making the time to contact us and for raising your concern.

This was quite a distressing incident for all of those involved. We can confirm that the dogs were surrendered voluntarily to Council by the owners following the incident but can provide no further details due to privacy. 

Council is committed to ensuring  the safety of our community and their pets, with information on our website about dog safety and tips for responsible pet ownership: Dog safety | Melton City Council.  https://www.melton.vic.gov.au/Regulations/Animals/Dogs/Dog-safety

Once again, we appreciate the time you have taken to contact us.

Kind regards,

Alana Knowles
