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.

Hi Neighbours
Here at The Doctors we would love to hear how you prefer to book your doctor’s appointments. With busy schedules, different people find different methods easier.
For some, online booking is very convenient, you can make an appointment anytime without needing to wait on the phone. Others still prefer calling the clinic and speaking to a real person, especially if they have specific questions about their visit.

Poll: Should we ditch daylight saving? 🕰️
First introduced in New Zealand in 1927 with the passing of the Summer Time Act, it's what we know as 'Daylight Saving' and this year it ends on the first Sunday in April.
While we do get to sleep in this time around, some people would like to scrap the clock tinkering for good.
And why? Some evidence suggests the time changes are bad for our health as they mess with sleep patterns leading to short-term fatigue and affecting mood. Meanwhile the hour change is frustrating for farmers and a nightmare for getting the littlies to sleep. But what's your take?
-
31.5% Yes - get rid of the clock changes
-
67.6% No, I enjoy it
-
0.9% Other - I'll share below
