The SPCA is taking legal action after a 10-month-old puppy had its throat slashed.
NZH Focus last month spoke to Auckland couple Jack Van Biljon and Casey Halpin, both 22, whose staffy-kelpie cross named Turbo had his throat slashed during a flat eviction.
Van Biljon said he heard Halpin scream when she found Turbo lying in a pool of his own blood.
"He'd basically bled out in the car," Halpin said.
