Watch out for white pit bull type dog
On Thursday evening I was at the soccer grounds with my small white spoodle who went up to touch noses with a white pit bull type dog being held on a leash by man who also had a black dog on a leash. Without even a warning growl the white dog attacked my little guy, going in for the kill. When the white dog was pulled off, my dog was shivering in terror with bleeding wounds in throat, shoulder, neck, and groin. After three vet visits my bills are up to $650 which being on a pension with no savings has put me in a very difficult situation and my dog can barely drag himself around although he is on the mend finally. Do not go near this dog. The owner was shocked, said the dog had never done it before, and followed up with enquiry, but I do not have his name and have lost the neighbour's phone number he gave me. If you recognise the description I would much appreciate a name so that I may follow up.
Poll: 🤖 What skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?
The Reserve Bank has shared some pretty blunt advice: there’s no such thing as a “safe” job anymore 🛟😑

DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
