hi everyone
yesterday I was walking my dog in Ajax street around 2pm and suddenly a big dog cam and started snatching my dog's back in a very cruel way and my dog is a very small Chihuahua . My dog is a support dog for my disabled daughter . We were crying loudly for help . The lovely people from the area came quickly and saved my dog . The people called the police and people told the police that tis dog attacked an old man before and was scaring the neighbourhood kids . The owner knows that his dog is very dangerous but he leaves him unleashed running around the streets. I had to take my dog to the emergency after hours clinic and had lots of wounds and she was bleeding . I had to pay till now $873 . What was my fault to be exposed to this situation and me and my daughter could not sleep especially my daughter who is very close to her dog . I had my dog injured, a high bill had to pay and added to this is the anxiety and suffering of my little poor dog .

Park Tce cycleway to stay, for now at least

Christchurch’s Park Tce cycleway will remain in place following a tense debate and accusations of contempt for cyclists and all residents.

Last month, council staff replaced a vehicle lane on Park Tce with a cycleway. The work was done under temporary traffic management rules and sparked outrage amongst some councillors and mayor Phil Mauger, who accused council staff of “running amok”. Other councillors accused staff of being “sneaky”.

Cyclists, wearing hi-vis clothing and helmets, filled the Christchurch City Council’s public gallery on Wednesday, holding signs pleading with the council to keep the cycleway in place.

Their views were heard by the majority of the council, which voted 10-6 against councillor James Gough’s bid to immediately rip up the cycleway.

What are your winter-warming hacks?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

June is upon us, so it's well and truly time to hunker down for the colder temperatures. For some across Aotearoa, this just means a second duvet on the bed. And for others, it's defrosting your car windscreen daily and bringing out the heaters.

We are again looking for individuals/families living in Christchurch to help our puppies grow up to become life-changing Assistance Dogs. Our next pups are coming mid July.

Puppy raisers are an integral part of our organisation. Their job is an amazing one: to support our little ones on their journey towards becoming superheroes!

To become a puppy-raiser, you must:
- Have a fully fenced and secure property
- Have time to spend socialising and exercising your puppy.
- Be available to meet for puppy development training.

Our puppies stay with their raiser until they are about 16-18 months of age, then return to Assistance Dogs to be formally trained for their future roles. We cover the cost of feeding and vet care, and there is a supervisor available for all of our dogs.
