Unruly Dog

Julia from Avondale

Hi everyone i was wondering if anyone could help. I have a rescue dog three years old who doesn't have any manners and no ears.
When she goes on walks she pulls, tows and does her best to upset her owners and others on her walks more like run. We have tried everything. Even sending on a dog outing with other like minded dogs. but that didn't change her. Is there anyone out there that can straighten her out for me. I don't want to have to give her up to a fourth home. She started her life in the pound and has never had her training completed. As there are things like sit and wait until permission given to eat, she will do. Recall sometimes. She has a lively nature and is very loving. Appreciate some help.

The goal is to keep these spaces open for those who truly need them. Do you think this big increase in the fine is fair? Share your thoughts below.

Smoke in Mt Wellington

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Smoke has been seen coming from the crater of the Auckland maunga Mt Wellington.

Images of the smoke began appearing on social media on Friday afternoon.

Around 1.45pm, Fire and Emergency (Fenz) shift manager Josh Pennefather told the NZ Herald a crew was fighting a fire of about 60 square metres in size.
”It’s spreading up hill … [but] there’s no property at risk at this stage,” Pennefather said.

Six fire trucks were in attendance working to contain a grass fire that's spreading up the maunga.

A helicopter was on its way to assist firefighting efforts, he added.

At 2pm, Pennefather shared that the fire was contained and they were working to extinguish it, including “keeping an eye on a whole bunch of hot spots“.
