Honey, the terminally ill, road-tripping Boxer dog, has died
This isn't a Hamilton story, but it's a tale of love between a man and his dog. Waikato man Derrick Marshall took his Boxer dog, Honey, on a road trip to the top of the North Island in January.
Honey had received a terminal cancer diagnosis, and Marshall wanted to do everything he could for her in the time she had left. Less than two months later, Honey had to be put down.
"Every day I think, did I do enough?" Marshall said. "But I did give her a good life. I took her everywhere and gave her everything."

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
