Does anybody have dogs missing around Barrack Road? I have just encountered two. One seemed an older (type unknown) with a lot of brown fur, collar and registered.

I have just encountered two. One seemed an older (type unknown) with a lot of brown fur, collar and registered. He had a friendly encounter with my dog then crossed the road to the side of the shops. The next dog was a bit further up and had been into a rubbish bag sitting on the kerbside. He was black with a bit of white and I think a bit of brown. He also crossed the road to play with my dog. At this time a car coming down Barrack Road stopped suddenly in the middle of the road and enticed that dog into his car, reg no YJ9945. I don't think this dog had a collar on and he got willingly into the car. Just putting it out there so if anyone has a beloved pet missing they have a starting point. Unfortunately I can't tell you what the breeds of these dogs were, but the second one was short haired and the first one long haired. I hope this helps someone.,

Later this month we’ll be celebrating the 30th anniversary of Daffodil Day, the most important day in our fundraising calendar. A day that relies on the support of more than 11,000 volunteers.
Money raised goes towards support services, education and awareness programmes, and to fund vital research into the causes and treatments of all types of cancers.
Our 30th Daffodil Day is on Friday 28th August.
Please support the superhero volunteers in your neighborhood with a donation to the Cancer Society, donate online at daffodilday.org.nz or at your local ANZ branch.

To celebrate our very own rangers, we ran a Q&A on Instagram and Facebook stories to give you an opportunity to find out more about their important work.
In case you missed it, here are some of the interesting questions you asked them and our rangers' answers, hopefully giving you more insights into their universe.

The options for doing so are endless! Being kind doesn’t have to cost a thing, after all a smile is free. For those who want to go the extra mile, here’s some other ideas: Buy extra kai at the grocery store to donate to a food bank, build a free community library for your street, bring treats into work for colleagues, send an encouraging text to someone who needs it, let a car into the traffic ahead of you, take a gift over to new neighbours and introduce yourself, write positive messages in chalk on sidewalks around your neighbourhood, or surprise loved ones with a visit.
This month’s theme also coincides with Random Acts of Kindness Day (New Zealand) which is coming up on September 1st.
Let us know how you’re spreading kindness in your community by tagging us in your posts + using the following hashtag so we can see what you get up to:
