Dogs in cars
Don’t leave your pets locked in the car this summer, even if you’re nipping into a shop.
On a 30C day, the temperature inside a vehicle can reach 39C in less than 5 minutes; in 30 minutes, it will be 49°C. ☀️
While we sometimes get calls about dogs trapped in hot cars, only the SPCA and police can take action under the Animal Welfare Act. Call either agency first if you see a dog locked in a hot car.
Moe mai rā, Nicholas.

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?
