A fake dog control officer is dishing out notices from a book of council forms that went missing in mysterious circumstances.

Several dog owners living in a rural Hawke's Bay area received the paperwork on Hastings District Council letterheads last week.

The notices, written by a Dog Control Officer named 'Sam', refer to breeds of dogs that the people do own and states that they were on the road and unregistered.

All of which is false. Hastings District Council would like to hear from anyone else who has received forms noted as being from the fictitious 'Sam'.
