And a summary one from it's use in Australia.
Pindone Rabbit-Baiting: Secondary Poisoning of Wildlife

And there were a few more printed out too.

Interesting reading
I do find having 1080 and Pindone in the same report somewhat surprising
Again I may be misled - but those 2 poisons are so different in all aspects

This conclusion in this report is similar to my belief - yes a wild hungry scavenging Dog - could eventually circum to Pindone poison
But a domestic animal or farmed animal - I very much doubt
But the poison is not only confined to the gut as I thought - liver and other fattie tissue zones also - but I doubt in amounts that would worry again "domestic" stock/animals

This said in LandCare report - I will stick with

"The estimated high secondary risk to dogs from feeding on gut contents, liver and/or fat of
pindone poisoned rabbits is supported by research showing mortality of dogs fed over
multiple days on the carcasses that had died of pindone poisoning.
While we found no confirmed instances of pindone poisoning in New Zealand dogs, there are numerous reports of anticoagulant poisoning and
successful veterinary treatment in domestic dogs where clinical differentiation of the
causative anticoagulant compound (including rodenticides) and confirmation of the exposure
source was not undertaken. Thus instances of secondary pindone poisoning in dogs,
particularly in farm dogs with access to rabbit carcasses, cannot be discounted"
