Letters to the editor OPINION: What a tragedy to occur on the streets of Christchurch on Tuesday, with the wounding of two police officers and the death of police dog Gage. Unfortunately, I felt that Wednesday's main page-one photo of Gage lying dead in the street was not a fitting tribute to this brave canine. It lacked respect for Gage and the New Zealand police family. A far more dignified photo was the smaller one, showing Senior Constable Bruce Lamb and Gage together. That should have been the only one published as a fitting tribute to the dog and his best friend. NEIL F WRIGHT Epuni

Gage 22/7/10 WALT:Identify persuasive words in a letter to the editor. HIGHLIGHT Lack of respect for Gage. New Zealand police family. Gage lying dead in the street. Brave canine

Police dog Canine dog Dead dog on the street dog shot.

The writer describes the dog by his name and that the dog was brave and that the dog needs respect then no respect and that gage was in the police family.

A far more respectful picture was the smaller picture with senior constable Bruce Lamb and Gage together.

Dignified means: Tribute means: Fitting means:
