Council to name dog park after Les Dalton
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.
His wife, Jill Dalton, said he would have been delighted by the decision.
“I think it is a wonderful tribute to him and his legacy of 45 years.”
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.
