Roaming White Dog
For about the last fortnight a large male white dog, possibly a bull mastiff (my knowledge of dog breeds isn't great) has been roaming in Smith Street, Woolston. He's been neutered and has no collar, and no road sense - he just wanders out in front of cars. He seems to be in good condition, so possibly not a stray, but I am concerned for him going out on the road. I think he must have been the dog that left a calling card in my front garden the weekend before last, because today after work I startled him in the garden. He wasn't aggressive but didn't hang around either. Does anyone recognize this description and know where the dog belongs?
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)
