Walking my friend's dog in Fergusson Park and Woods Ave has been the highlight of my recent visit to Tauranga. But last Friday, May 27, Peanut got a fright, rushed off, out of sight and disappeared into the distance.

As I tottered after her, with my ‘senior stroller', many folk came to our rescue. Thank you to everyone who helped reunite an anxious dog-minder with her errant pooch. Bless you and thanks, from Auckland!
