Your dog might be older (in human years) than you realise
Hi neighbours,

According to their findings, a one-year-old dog is similar to a 31-year-old human.

Have you needed Waikato Hospital recently?
Patient safety is at risk at Waikato Hospital, claim doctors, with reports of at least one person not seen by a medic for six days.
The hospital was down 60% on medical registrars last weekend, New Zealand Resident Doctors Association (NZRDA) national secretary Dr Deborah Powell said, and patient care was suffering.
