VIDEO OF ADVICE ABOUT HOW TO PROTECT YOURSELF/YOUR DOG/CHILD IN THE EVENT OF A DOG ATTACK
www.nzherald.co.nz...
I have just viewed the above video as the result of a news article in the N.Z. Herald around a horrendous attack on an elderly woman being attacked on her mobility scooter.
I wanted to share the above link as there is some good advice in the video that accompanies this article around what people can do to help avoid dog attacks, either by yourself or walking your dog, and what not to do in the case of an attack.
Especially because we can't always be with our children it is important that they are aware of what they can do to help protect themselves. Being aware is so important especially for little ones who are often at face level with a dog.

DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
