The dog was stabbed four times and, despite the best efforts of a nearby vet at Beechworth, she died the next day."She never left my side, she slept inside with me, and when I'd go horse riding she'd come, or come to work with me.The family said Ezra was a placid dog who rarely barked and they were at a loss as to why someone would want to hurt her.
"I haven't really been sleeping or anything. I have really good friends and family supporting me, but it's just not right without her," Rhiannon said.Police said they believed two people were involved in the attack and were appealing to the public to help find the pair. Leading Senior Constable Craig Lee said he had known the family for many years and said police were investigating the possibility of a case of mistaken identity."I've only ever had good interactions with them, so we are trying to establish what the motive might be."
It's understood the attack occurred around 6:00pm on Monday at the Tunnel Gap Road property at Glen Creek. Rhiannon told police she saw a man get into a dark blue Subaru wagon, with a loud exhaust and no number plates. It also had black roof racks and black wheels.
