Small injured dog left in gray cat bed on Newton Street last night
Hello,
If this is your dog he is at the Anglesea Street vet in Hamilton. After examining him, the vet wouldn't tell me what was wrong with him due to the Privacy Act. They are looking for you to tell you what his condition is first and so you can claim him back. They're giving themselves about a week for you to step forward. Here's the number 07 839 5656.
He was in a lot of pain but they gave him a round of painkillers and he was sleeping peacefully later on. They've kept him overnight and said if there's a chance he can regain his health then the SPCA will look after him. Then if you can't be found he will be adopted out.
We noticed the clean, cosy cat bed he was lying in and your attempts to make him comfortable. It must have been very distressing for you. He has a piercing cry which is what led me to him lying in the catbed you'd placed next to the back wheel of the neighbours car. He probably cried like that all the time you were handling him into the cat bed as he couldn't be moved without shrieking. Poor thing. The both of you.
I'm not mad at you. Who knows what lead to such a bad situation. Bad on bad probably. Hope the dog makes it and that you don't get another one unless your situation improves greatly.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Have you come across many roadworks sites recently?
The frustration of seeing a detour sign partway through your journey on the main highways possibly the new way forward when it comes to roadworks.
One of the latest areas to have a section of the road blocked off is State Highway 1 between Putāruru to Tokoroa as part of a massive renewal project that extends down to Waiouru.
