The special bond between a search and rescue handler and their dog
Hi neighbours,
Emma Milburn and Dart have been a search and rescue tag team for nearly a decade.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
