Alert after dog poisoned
DOG walkers were being warned on social media last week to stay away from a Mornington park following reports of poison being found there.
A dog was rushed to the vet after eating rat poison inside the stomach and intestines of a dead animal on the ground at the Dunns Road park. The dog later recovered.
Environment protection manager Mark Upton said the shire was investigating the report.
“One of our officers is working closely with the dog’s owner and has carried out a search of the park but no further poison or animal organs were found,” Mr Upton said.
Anzac Day ceremonies
IN stark contrast to last year, crowds started arriving before dawn to attend Anzac Day ceremonies across the Mornington Peninsula.
The Dawn services were followed later in the morning by marches and ceremonies like this one at Mornington, at Hastings, Rosebud and Rye.

Mornington scrape through for the win
MORNINGTON got the win in a one-point thriller on ANZAC Day.
The Bulldogs played Devon Meadows at Glover Reserve. The Panthers were boosted by the addition of former AFL star Brett Deledio.
The Bulldogs were the better team in the first half, however their wastefulness in front of goal was costing them. Despite having 11 more scoring shots, Mornington only took a 21 point lead into the main break.
Devon Meadows cut the lead down to eight heading into the last quarter, and nearly did enough to claw over the line. Mornington just held on to claim a nail biting 9.4 (58) to 8.11 (59) win.
