Runner with dog wearing a haltie/gentle leader
There is a female runner with dog who runs south along Naenae Rd about 8.15am most mornings, every time I see the dog it seems in pain in the face and distressed. The runners hand seems to tug at the face and the dog seems to react to that every movement. There are a few dogs I've seen wearing these training leads and they don't seem at all concerned but this particular dog seems very distressed. Could anyone reassure me that this dog is ok? I had dogs for over 40 years and can recognize pain and discomfort
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?
