Dog Kills Hedgehog.
It takes a clever dog to kill a hedgehog, but a sporting dog owned by Mr. Bert Higginson, of Featherston, has rather a novel method of destroying these animals. After finding the hedgehog he carefully picks it up with his teeth and carries it to the nearest water pool, into which he drops it. The hedgehog immediately uncurls itself to swim, when the dog pounces on it and bites its head, death being almost instantaneous.
