Pet Bus a modern day Noah's Ark

Nicholas Boyack Reporter from Community News

A modern day Noah’s Ark traverses the country every month carrying one of the nation’s most treasured cargo - pets.

Petbus is Karyn McLauchlan’s solution to New Zealand’s impersonal and stressful pet transport options. McLauchlan used to be a dog breeder, and had a terrible experience transporting puppies by airline in 2004, with two puppies dying on the journey to Wellington.

Her solution was to deliver pets herself using a bus. The most unusual thing she has delivered is an ant farm but she has also moved peacocks, spiders and geese.
