Must admit to being rather disturbed at this incident, that the dog was by law left for 48 hours because the comings and goings of a badger were more important and RSPCA stood bye this also. Surely any animal in distress needed priority rescue. Forgive me but I fully understand the need for badgers to be safe guarded but to basically leave a dog distressed for 48 hours along with the heart break to the distressed owners of which one was pregnant is to me a disgrace.
As you can see this has really rattled my cage >:D
Chill pill Julie - or a least a glass of wine ;)

I am really pleased this turned out well. I am completely with you Julie, I am unhappy about the 48hr delay. I understand that badgers need protecting, however, a little common sense would have gone a long way.

I totally agree Julie! Its horrific to deliberately allow so much distress and also a case of double standards considering badger culling is still going on! I‘m not sure I‘d have been as law abiding as the poor owners...... >:D
-
Yes, the poor dog’s ordeal. I can’t imagine what the owners went through knowing their dog was trapped and no one would do anything. Makes me think if one of my dogs got trapped I may not do the ‘right thing’. I am so pleased there was a good ending though. How he managed to survive is a miracle. Typically though there were critics saying what a waste of resources to save a dog >:D

....which doesn‘t stand up either when one considers the revenue that the pet industry generates! But hey ho, bureaucracy rules! >:D. Just happy that the little chap survived! :luv:
