SAVAGE ALSATIAN DOG
INCIDENTS AT A LIBRARY [THE PRESS Special Service.] AUCKLAND, February 26. So menacing was the attitude of a large Alsatian dog in the vestibule of the Avondale Public Library tonight that several subscribers were unable to gain admittance, while other persons in the building had to leave by a back door. The first indication that a dangerous dog was on the premises was when several people were about to leave the library after 8 o'clock, and they found their way barred by the snarling Alsatian. Several tried to coax the animal into a better frame of mind, but it replied to their overtures with bared teeth and fierce barks. The dog whipped itself into a frenzy, leaping at an old lady who, however, was able to get behind a man next to her. It turned fiercely on anyone attempting to enter to leave the building, and eventually those inside had to leave by the back entrance. Constable Maisey then arrived with a shot gun, and after baring its teeth at the officer the animal slunk off.
