Dogs roaming - Barrack Road
Does anybody have dogs missing around Barrack Road? I have just encountered two. One seemed an older (type unknown) with a lot of brown fur, collar and registered. He had a friendly encounter with my dog then crossed the road to the side of the shops. The next dog was a bit further up and had been into a rubbish bag sitting on the kerbside. He was black with a bit of white and I think a bit of brown. He also crossed the road to play with my dog. At this time a car coming down Barrack Road stopped suddenly in the middle of the road and enticed that dog into his car, reg no YJ9945. I don't think this dog had a collar on and he got willingly into the car. Just putting it out there so if anyone has a beloved pet missing they have a starting point. Unfortunately I can't tell you what the breeds of these dogs were, but the second one was short haired and the first one long haired. I hope this helps someone.,

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
