You can find dogs in homes where they are nice and warm, and on farms where they gather sheep. This type of dog is could a sheep dog. In the pound dogs are where you can see dogs who have been found on the streets and they get dropped off to the pound waiting to get a home. In the pet shop you will find all sorts of dogs You might have to take your dog to the vet one day if they become ill or get injured. Unfortunately some dogs can't be saved and therefore they are put down.

All dogs bark, some herd sheep or help the blind. At the airport there are sniffer dogs to make sure that passengers don't carry drugs in to our country.

Dogs are useful, soft, cuddly and helpful and they're nice to have around.

Otara Stream

We met Kate from Wai Care and we walked to the Rongomai Stream.

When we got  there we tested the air and water temperature.

Then we tested the clarity of the water.

            

Here we are testing the water from the Otara stream with a tool called Chemets.
