Yesterday, whilst walking our dog in Monyash, in the Peak district, we came across a dog running loose near the public toilets. It narrowly avoided being hit by a car as it dashed across the road towards our dog. It had a collar on, but no ID tag, and it was subsequently found that it was not microchipped either.
I contacted the Police and was told that they no longer deal with lost dogs and that my two options were to either contact the RSPCA or the local council. I opted for the latter and got in touch with the local dog warden. Two and a half hours later the dog was collected by the dog warden with no sign of the owner.
The local police station in Bakewell has been informed that a dog has been found, and we are keeping our fingers crossed that the owner is reunited with the dog as soon as possible.
