Appeal for help to find dog after attack left woman with severe injuries

Neighbourly.co.nz

A rogue dog which attacked a woman nearly two weeks ago and left her needing hospital treatment has still not been found.

In a bid to find the dog, New Plymouth District Council (NPDC) has made a public appeal for information.

The animal is described as a large breed, with a big, but not square-shaped, head. NPDC said it was possibly a Rhodesian ridgeback or bull mastiff cross breed and was chocolate coloured, with a red tone.

Anyone with information about the dog involved in the July 9 attack in Waitara should contact NPDC on 06 759 6060 or email enquiries@npdc.govt.nz.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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.

Do you think this ban is reasonable?

Hi,

Looking for someone reasonable to provide a quote to fix a Panasonic heat pump that a) leaks a little when on cool mode and b) doesn’t heat.

Appreciate all your recommendations
