Did you know about this new pet memorial?
12-year-old Jorja McCarthy holds a plaque which reads, “Appollo. You will always be in our hearts like a star in the sky”.
She fits it in place with the same care and tenderness that she gave little Appollo in life. The fence she’s attaching it to is Hamilton’s new Rainbow Bridge; a place to remember the city’s departed pets.

Poll: Would you commute by public transport if it was free?
