Dog's dramatic rescue after six days at bottom of Northland cliff
Hey Neighbours,
Archer the huntaway-cross dog was missing in Bland Bay, Whagaruru North for six days before his dramatic and heroic rescue.
The 12-year-old pooch had been missing in dense bushland at Bland Bay, Whangaruru North for six days after falling off a cliff. But all it took was one faint, exhausted bark and the week-long search mission turned into a rescue on Thursday.
The Gray family's lifelong friend and neighbour didn't give up hope, scaling the steep, dangerous part of the cliff in search of Archer. A kayaker and a boat then went to retrieve the injured pup from the bottom of the cliff.
He's now home safe and sound, albeit a little injured after trying to climb up the rock.

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.

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?
