Kohimarama resident Mary Trautvetter was house-sitting for friends in Castor Bay on the North Shore on April 14 when her dog, Rocky, was frightened by thunder and ran off.
The little white maltese and lhasa apso cross has been lost ever since.
“I’m just in pieces,” Trautvetter said, adding that Rocky had helped her through some tough life events, including a mental breakdown and a divorce.
She has even consulted with psychic mediums in a desperate attempt for information. Red Beach-based psychic medium Kerry-Marie Callander told Stuff she believes it is possible someone has taken Rocky in.
The person might not be on social media or know that people are looking for the dog, she said, adding that perhaps mainstream media – like the local newspaper – might be the best way to reach them.

As a mostly volunteer-led organisation, our members know first hand the value and impact that a single volunteer can make in our communities. Imagine then how much can be achieved when several volunteers or even an entire street or neighbourhood decide to work together to achieve the same goal!
Whether you plan to coordinate your own volunteer driven activity, take part in one that’s already been setup, participate in National Volunteer Week (20-26 June), or simply show your own volunteers some extra love this month, know that every bit of effort to give back is a priceless investment in all of our futures.
Want to share your thoughts? Let us know how you’re getting involved this month by tagging us in your social media posts or emailing us your photos, videos, or experiences to:
