Police officers are more than happy to help concerned citizens. Recently, the police escorted a kitty from Napier to Flaxmer after it was rescued from the bottom of a cliff on Napier Hill. Also, there was another officer who saved a scared puppy from a tunnel. He even took off his shoes and socks to enter the tunnel!
Rescuing animals is not in the job description of police officers. However, they are not hesitating to accept calls who include animal rescuing. We are so grateful to the officers, they need praise from all of us!
