A Hawke's Bay man's fetching creation is something all dogs will be drooling over.
The Dog Stick Library popped up on Central Hawke's Bay's Mangakuri Beach on Monday.
Like most libraries, this one also has a return policy. If your dog takes a stick, they are expected to either replace the stick they have taken or return the stick once they have finished playing.
Blackdog Design founder and Mangakuri local George Williams joked that, much like with library books, "if a stick is not returned the dog will receive a fine".
