Wag
SPONSORED BY

Wag captures the spirit of adventure shared by our four-legged friends.
Positioned along one of most dog-walked sections of the Te Awa River Ride, this playful sculpture honours the dogs who walk, run, and explore alongside us every day. A tribute to our loyal companions who make every journey better.
