Auckland's Ted the Uber dog dies after month-long illness

Josephine Franks Reporter from Central Leader

Kia ora neighbours. Sad news - after more than 3500 trips, Ted the Uber dog has completed his last journey.

The 13-year-old bichon-poodle cross died on Monday morning after a month-long illness.

Ted was a firm favourite with Auckland Uber riders, earning his owner Peter Barrett a near-perfect 4.93 star rating.

Barrett paid tribute to an "amazing little guy" whose death "leaves a gap".

Did you ever ride with Ted?

AWESOME parenting

Rebecca from Point Chevalier

Who raised this delinquent? Him and his mate were on great north road soliciting a homeless woman to go buy them vapes from crescent dairy.
The woman did it for them. Just a reminder that if they get caught, they are implementing a woman that would otherwise have been completely innocent if those 2 weren't so desperate for a vape
