A dog loose on the Northwestern Motorway kept police busy this morning.
Members of the public alerted police to the dog, believed to be a german shepherd, on the motorway between Te Atatu and Lincoln roads around 9.15am.
A police spokeswoman said the dog ran off the motorway and into a nearby estuary.
She said the dog was uninjured and there were no major delays or disruption to traffic.
Please take extra care eastbound on the Nth Wstn Mwy at Te Atatu, a wandering dog is causing delays to traffic ^LC
