Dog Eats Book On NZ
Photo story from The Hermitage Hotel, Aoraki Mount Cook
7 July 2008
"My owners went to New Zealand
and all I got was this lousy
book!"

An English
couple who recently took a trip of a lifetime to New Zealand
discovered their curious canine had a hankering for his own
taste of 'Down Under'.
The prying puppy Zorro, a Hungarian Viszla, was delighted at his owners' return and couldn't wait to see what our fair country looked like.
He found a precious momento, the scenic coffee table book New Zealand Landscapes which had been purchased at Aoraki Mount Cook's Hermitage Hotel, and promptly digested its contents (see photo).
Desperate to replace the book but unable to source it in the UK, the owners contacted The Hermitage Hotel who sent a replacement and a treat for Zorro.
