Dogs will welcomed on to Wellington's Cable Car later this month, in a bid to make Wellington's gardens more accessible to inner-city dog-owners.
Coinciding with International Dog Day on Thursday, August 26, the trial will run for a month, inviting well-trained dogs onto Wellington's famous funicular.
The trial will run until September 26, after which a decision will be made on whether the change will be permanent.
Cable Car chief executive Cesar Piotto says the trial is designed to make the green environment more accessible for growing numbers of inner-city Wellingtonians.
