With two sacks of biscuits as luggage, and his ticket tied to his collar, a Russian sheepdog, Peter, is on his way to Auckland by the Akaroa to join his mistress, Miss Marianne Nemhauser, formerly of Vienna, who reached New Zealand in January from London The Akaroa is due at Auckland on 21st April. Leaving Austria for England nearly a year ago, Miss Nemhauser arranged for Peter to follow her. He made the journey by air; but on arrival in England was placed in quarantine, and before the period of nine months had elapsed, his mistress came on to Auckland, where she is now living. Anxious to have her pet with her in her new home, Miss Nemhauser made arrangements for hi i to come to New Zealand immediately the quarantine period had expired. She said that a London firm had arranged the dog’s transport at a cost of £ls. A hundredweight of dog-biscuits left London with Peter to provide food for him on the voyage.
