Jakichan is glad to be home

A dog went bush on the Shore for 12 days before finding his way home.

(aren't you glad he came home on his own, otherwise the dog catcher would have fined you at least $300 for the exercise!)

Ken Clark's dog Jakichan went missing in Kauri Park bush on February 4 while Mr Clark was taking him and his mother's dog for a walk.

"Every weekend I take the dogs down to the bush and the beach. On this day he went into the bush and he didn't come out for 10 to 15 minutes.

"I started to get a bit worried so I packed up the gear and went looking for him but I just couldn't find him." MORE>>
