Dognapping

I was talking to my mum on the phone yesterday and she said that she had been driving home a few days before along a dual carriageway and noticed that cars ahead were suddenly changing lane. She then saw that a dog was running backwards and forwards across the road through the moving traffic.

The dog then stopped in the road in front of mum’s car and so she had to suddenly come to a halt and sat there staring at the dog, which was dressed in a t-shirt and (dog) coat, trying to decide what to do. She got out of the car and just picked up the dog and put it in the back of the car and drove off.

Mum tried to phone the RSPCA who apparently were hopeless and there was just an automated message to say contact the local dog warden. Except the dog warden only works 9-5 and this was the evening. So in the end mum contacted the police and dropped the dog off with them.

I have no idea what I would have done, as I guess it isn’t every day that you get stopped driving by a dog eye-balling you in the road.
