Three dogs put down after left neglected in rat infested property

Three dogs have been put down after they were rescued from a Kianga Ora property where they'd apparently been left locked inside, in filthy rat infested conditions without food or water. In April, the dogs were spotted through the windows of the Buckland's beach property and food was being dropped through a window for the dogs. After seeing a social media post about the situation an Auckland woman went to check on animals and found a complete hovel. Lesley spoke to Lisa Owen.
