Also in the news…<\/h2>\n

Every week we bring to you a news story which may have escaped your attention. This week, our weird story involves some dog biscuits<\/strong><\/a>. Parents in\u00a0Whanganui, New Zealand were horrified to discover this week that they had accidentally tried to give their children dog biscuits. The mix up happened when a local supermarket had placed the Scooby Doo branded treats in the snack aisle alongside the crisps and biscuits. The treats were said to be ‘human-friendly but not recommended’.<\/p>\n
