nzherald.co.nz/nz/great-white-shark-fortrose-google-alert-for-scottish-town-meant-for-southland-settlement/MAEUTILOWVD3DN22UGXWSQKD7U/
Quick Glance: Google Alert Sends Shark Warning to Wrong Fortrose
- A Google alert meant for a remote Scottish town was mistakenly sent to residents of a different town with the same name in Southland.

- A dog and its owner finally found the tag at a remote beach, bringing the search to an end.
