Oh Where Oh Where Can Harawene Be?

Harawene was a small, black and white terrior cross, who lived wild in a paddock overlooking
Te Ngae Road, Rotorua's busiest highway . Fascinated by the passing traffic, she would stand
watching it for hours, becoming a silent companion to countless motorists who passed by.
Tragically run over in 2008, she was mourned by thousands. Funds were raised for a bronze
statue, created by Mr. Fridtjof Hanson, which now stands in Harawene's favourite spot over
looking Te Ngae Road.
Every Christmas, artist Maxine Thompson places a red Christmas hat on Harawene's head. This
Children's book is in verse, and is in memory of a courageous little dog, who will be remembered
with affection by thousands
