Les Dalton spent 45 years looking after dogs and his legacy will continue with a purpose-built dog park in Wainuiomata.
The Hutt City Council recently agreed to name its first dog park after Dalton, who died in May 2020, while working on opening the amenity, which would have been his most significant achievement.

Mayor Campbell Barry said Dalton was an advocate for dog welfare and having a dog park named after him in Wainuiomata, where he lived, was a fitting tribute.
