STOLEN IN HILLCREST!
Many of you will have no doubt passed by this iconic piece of Hamilton history.
The beloved wooden dog statue has guarded the front of the Hillcrest Pet Doctors on Cambridge Road for many years now.
We were sad to hear of the news that it had been taken on the night of August 26.
The poor dog had been un-bolted, ripped from its foundations and taken suddenly.
The statue is 1.5 metres tall, 80 cm long and very heavy so it is likely that more than one person has been responsible for the dog-napping.
It’s a distinctive piece of Hamilton heritage, and we would like to see it returned back to its home, where it belongs on Cambridge Road.
If you have any information about this incident please get in touch with us.
We are sure that Pet Doctors would love to see the statue returned back where it belongs, no questions asked.

What's your favourite piece of Waikato history?
Car parks inspired a milking shed design that took off around the world and became a piece of Waikato District history.
A hundred-year-old church and gravestones from the 1880s will also feature as the district turns the spotlight on its past for its first Heritage Day on April 20.
Do you think the city needs more affordable housing projects?
An affordable rental development has been left scrambling to secure funding after it was unexpectly turned down by central government.
Bridge Housing Trust plans to build a 42 apartment complex on the corner of Tristram and Liverpool Streets in Hamilton central over two buildings. The land is being donated by Perry Group, which currently owns both sites.
You can help grow the Waikato Community Rugby Fund
Waikato Rugby celebrated 100 years of service to the community in 2021, but due to the pandemic the long-planned celebrations were not held until late 2022.
A highlight was a black-tie event at GloBox Arena at Claudelands where over 300 people enjoyed a wonderful night of reminiscence, remembrance, reconnection and reflection on what our national game means to the Waikato.
Many people put a lot of work into making the evening a massive success by all sorts of measures. One was fundraising $21,000 for the good of the game through auctions and donations, which has recently been transferred to the Waikato Community Rugby Fund at Momentum Waikato.
The Fund grows in perpetuity, with distributed returns only used for the benefit of the amateur community rugby, forever.
Donations to the Waikato Community Rugby Fund are always most welcome, to find out more and donate click the button below.
