Has your dog fallen ill after walking at Otamatea?
Whanganui dog walkers who use the Otamatea Reserve say they should be told what happened to the dog that died after walking in the popular park.
The Whanganui District Council has been warning dog owners to keep pets away from Otamatea Reserve or at least on a leash, after the dog died of unknown causes following a visit to the area. The dog had been sent to Massey University for tests but it isn't known whether the results would be made public.
The council was in contact with the owners of the dead dog and warnings had been put out. About three months ago, the Whanganui Chronicle reported several dogs had fallen ill after being walked at Otamatea Reserve.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
