Overview

• During a morning walk in the Carcoola Avenue off‑leash area, a stranger allegedly used a multi‑edged tool to stab two family dogs, killing Molly and injuring Chief.
• Waroona Veterinary Clinic said Molly’s age and secondary issues made surgery too traumatic, leading to euthanasia as the humane option.
• Chief suffered stab wounds to his back and is expected to recover over the coming weeks, according to the family.
• WA Police say the attacker’s dog had bite marks and confirm the investigation is ongoing, with the person approached by media declining to comment.
• The family reports more than $5,500 in veterinary costs and is publicly calling for the person responsible to be held to account.
