Our own Hairy Maclary

A statue of Hairy Maclary has been made and will be displayed permanently here in the Bay of Plenty. The little dog is a firm favourite of all children and the news is very well received! Update: The news has apparently not been so well received by some members of the public who object to the money spent on such a whimsical subject. I disagree - we need food for the soul too, and so do the children in our city who make up a fair proportion of the population.
