What a surprise it was for me today to find out what I wanted to know for quite some time. “How many dogs are in this part (Far North District) of the country?” is my question.

But there is even more information about dogs in the publication of the Far North District Council, I picked up today at the local library.

Siberian Husky

I am told how to be safe around dogs.

And I really need that information.

I am told to

STOP

STAND

LEAVE

when I see an angry dog. When standing I must not look at the dog and keep my hands by my sides,

There are more than 9,000 dogs in this part of the country (Far North District). And the population is just over 55,000.
