Dear FB friends, this is a plea for your help.
Early this morning, Tuesday 14th May 2024, I came across a lost dog running into the road by the the Hampton Court Gates of Bushy Park.
The car parks and area were searched for anyone, but no owner was found. I called the police who arranged for the local dog warden to collect it. The dog is safe and in their care.
I rang for an update and sadly the dog has no owner details logged on the chip.
So, I am asking if you would share this with your pals and hopefully the dog can be reunited with it's family soon. I haven't added any details to protect the dog from unwanted attention.
Thank you

We're delighted to announce that the bill to increase maximum sentences for animal cruelty from six months to five years has finally passed through parliament! 🎉 Blue Cross has campaigned for this law, with other animal welfare charities, for many years and we are delighted that progress has happened. This law will now send a message that animal cruelty will not be tolerated.

If you see these, you are free to remove them and dispose of them responsibly. Please don't just drop them on the ground for a dog to try and eat. Thank you
