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: Have you ever been bullied?
People associate bullying with children in schools, but it can actually stretch beyond childhood to workplaces or neighbourhoods.
This Friday is Pink Shirt Day, which began in Canada in 2007 when two students took a stand against homophobic bullying after a new student was harassed for wearing pink. People across the globe are now encouraged to wear pink on this day to take a stand against bullying and promote inclusivity.
Have you or your whānau ever experienced bullying? Share your thoughts on Pink Shirt Day below.
