Wellington mayor Tory Whanau is under fire for breaching the council's tenancy agreement by bringing her dog to work.
Reports claim Whanau has been bringing her staffordshire bull terrier, Teddy, into her Central Wellington office, despite the lease agreement forbidding animals on the premises.
Wellington City Councillor Nicola Young says other councillors who own dogs feel like there shouldn't be separate rules for everyone else.
"It's about the principle. It's not really about the dog. It's that there should be two rules, one for the mayor and one for the other councillors and other people in the building."
