New Lives Animal Rescue

Yesterday, Te Whare Ruru enjoyed a special afternoon visit by Donna from New Lives Animal Rescue in Te Aroha. She brought with her two special guest dogs. Harvey a three legged chocolate coloured labrador and a puppy named Brandy.
We learnt safety around dogs and how it is important to ask permission from any dog owner before petting their dog.. Also, to pet the dogs under their front chin and chest instead of on top of their head. We practised dropping to the ground and turning into a "rock" to help protect us if ever attacked by a dog.
