The shop's page at http://www.dogwatch.co.nz/how-to-help-us/dogwatch-variety-shop provides further background.
English is the main language and te reo Māori is also official, so Māori place names are used throughout the country, which helps when reading signs and maps. Native birds such as tūī and kererū are common, and dolphins, fur seals and seabirds appear around the coast. A temperate maritime climate means mild summers and winters that rarely bring snow at low altitude.
