Local dog Zia, a four-year-old female brindle cross, was attacked at 3.08pm on 8 December. Her owner, Jonathan Nel, arrived home shortly before 4pm to find her with “a large knife protruding from her nose”.

He rushed her to the SPCA in Grassy Park, where emergency X-rays revealed the blade was lodged deep in her right nasal cavity.
