It’s #ThrowbackThursday and the Herald went back in time to 24 July 1987 to see what was in the news.
On the front page, we reported on the spate of dog attacks in Randfontein.
We caught up with our local veterinarian, Dr Hendrick Naudé, who spoke to us about what he normally deals with when dogs are brought to the clinic for a check-up or treatment.
Dr Naudé, who has indicated that the number of attacks has decreased, said this is because fewer vicious dogs are being kept as pets.
“People are now choosing dogs that are more docile,” Dr Naude said. In the article, the Herald stated that reports received from local veterinary surgeons suggested that Randfontein was quiet by comparison to other areas.
