The gate latches to a small piece of block wall (post) that's only one
block wide. A dog has jumped against the gate so much that it has
loosened the post from the footer and the footer is also loose in the
ground so that the post now wobbles and leans away from the house wall
as well as to the right. See pics below...

My question is, what is the best way to secure the post upright and
also back against the house wall? Aesthetics are secondary to
security but I would also like it to look somewhat decent.
