Nine-year-old Oliver Henwood has been in and out of Wellington Hospital for the past six years, so
he knows first-hand how boring it is to be stuck in a hospital bed.
Born with a bend in his shin bone caused by a growth anomaly, Oliver had major surgery at Wellington Hospital to correct the problem when he was four and has been back many times for ongoing treatment.
When he was tasked at his school to come up with a passion project that would benefit others in the community, he decided to help children staying in Wellington and Hutt Hospitals.
Oliver found watching DVDs a welcome distraction when he was in hospital yet found many were old or scratched so were unusable. He then took it upon himself to ask his local community in Cambridge for help by distributing flyers encouraging people to donate their DVDs. Once he collected more than 150 DVDs, he tested them all to make sure they weren't scratched before donating them.

Our SPCA Pet of the Day is Opal, who is approximately ten months old.

"Hi there, my name is Opal and I am special girl looking a special home. If you are looking for a goofball dog then I'm the girl for you. I can be very silly, so if you are looking for a laugh then look no further. I am looking for a home with adults only and without small animals due to my quirks and behaviours shown previously. This kind of environment will help me to thrive in training and help me to settle into my new home. I always have a pep in my step and worm my way into peoples' hearts in very little time. I look forward to continuing training with my new owners and am sure to put a smile on your face at the end of a long day. I do come with a medical waiver that my new owners would need to be made aware of. If you think I am the gal for you, contact the canine team for more information."
