In a previous posting we mentioned a website that tries to reunite lost dogs with their humans.
I thought we should take a look back at the site as it is a while since we had received any notifications from them about lost pooches.
The site doglost.co.uk has it seems been hacked. The damage was done, according to the site, on the 9th May 2008.
This is really bad news as possibly many colleagues are away from home and could be lost for ever from their humans. Good luck guys with getting the site back up and running. We will keep an eye on it and report when it is back up and running.
Other websites offer similar lost and found. Here are a few of them.
Did you know that it is a legal responsibility for your dog to wear a tag when out in public?
If your local council finds your dog, they will often return it to you without issuing a charge. However, this will only be possible if it is tattooed, is wearing a tag or is micro-chipped.
If your council find a stray dog, and they cannot trace the owner, the dog will be taken to a dogs home, who will keep the dog at your expense. If you do not collect your dog within seven days, you may lose the right to reclaim it, and efforts will be made to re-home it.
More information is available on the Government Website.
Until next time
