Missing dog - found!
Update - Sunny has been found, thank you!
Sharing on behalf of a friend 😞 LOST 13mth old golden retriever named Sunny.
Description:
💜 Purple collar - with name & number on tag. • Multicoloured leash still attached possibly (see pic below)
• almost full size (big breed of dog)
• shorter fur on her back (like a Labrador) but feathery tail still like a retriever
• dark rings around eyes and darker ears
• anxious but very gentle and friendly
• MICROCHIPPED (so not the impounded lab people have spotted in the council pic)
We got her one week ago so she’s NEW to the area so might not find her way home to us. She’s not used to sudden noises & busy roads (from the countryside / far north). Very scared of fireworks etc.
Last seen:
Was near top of Sunnynook road around 8.40am on Wednesday 9th Nov but got a fright when my kid fell over and she ran off down the hill. Last seen running very fast (!!) down wylie ave / juniper rd near Sunnynook park but unsure after that as was scared and wasn’t stopping. Someone thought they spotted her in greenhithe but I don’t think the timings match up (they said 7.30am) - who knows though.
*Vets and Council contacted etc
• Posted on NZ lost dog registry, Lost Pet Finders NZ etc
What you can do:
• Please check your properties incase she’s hiding / resting.
• Grab her if you can gently approach her calling her name ‘Sunny’. She may run away if you run towards her. She’s anxious but very friendly & gentle / harmless!
• Please spread the word - she could be ANYWHERE on the north shore & beyond now (missing since Wednesday morning)

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)
