Dog abuse
Did anyone this afternoon witness a man with a big stick abusing a doberman dog at the green island dogpark? The doberman is now suffering welts from the stick and may need vet attention. The owner tried to protect his dog while the man also got in the owners face and accused him of his dog being vicious. Not the case as witnesses will attest to. The doberman is a very gentle and loving & loyal dog and those who know both owner & dog will support this. If anyone knows the culprit with the stick as photo shows, please report this incident to the DCC animal control.. any abuse to person or animal is NOT OK. Appreciate your support and help for this. This is the second time this person has taken offence to the doberman.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
