Dog Owner Etiquette.

Tracey from Green Bay

To the woman in Seddon Fields with your 2 dogs who stared at me condescendingly while I struggled with my leashed reactive dog, thanks so much for your empathy while you proceeded to throw the ball right in front of me several times to your unleashed dogs...perhaps you should consider being kind instead of judgmental. Yes, my dog was barking at yours and lunging but no, you are not aware of the fact that I have recently had surgery and had difficulty holding her because of the pain in my arm. You also don't know that my dog is reactive through no fault of her own because of unleashed dog attacks and has in fact been to several renowned dog trainers to help her with her anxiety. Your rude stares and lack of compassion when seeing another dog owner struggling, was not something to feel proud of. If I see another dog owner struggling, I always try to make the situation easier for them, not more difficult as no one knows the owner or dog's circumstances. Your attitude sucks.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
