Title: Stolen cockers
Post by: Digger on October 24, 2020, 08:28:33 PM

Hi all.
My cousin shared something on Facebook (I don’t have fb but it’s on Dublin live or fb Gerry Stacey- the new surbiton neighbourhood group).

There was a van load of stolen dogs found in Ireland- possibly from the uk. Don’t know about the others but there is a golden/red female cocker that has not been claimed. She’s got a white patch on her head and a paler  nose. She looks like she’s really missing her family. Please share in case anyone on here knows of anyone who’s lost one.

We’re keeping our fingers crossed for her.

I saw the post on social media, horrendous how many dogs are being stolen just now, spaniels are so popular sadly.  I do hope they can get this wee soul back to where she belongs, she does look really sad.

No- it wasn’t that.
Sorry- I’m a bit technophobic and don’t have Facebook but if you google ‘Gerry Stacey the new surbiton neighbourhood group’ it comes up with the photo of the dog I described.
God I can’t imagine having your dog stolen. It should be akin to kidnap surely!

Absolutely agree with you Digger,  while googling it to try and find the original post I‘d read, I was horrified to realize the current scale of dog theft, its horrendous!!!! I think we just have to be extra vigilant and of course make sure the microchip details are up to date, unfortunately human suffering doesn‘t even seem to evoke a lot of sympathy with the powers that be these days, what chance do our poor animals have?
