Dog Found safe and well. Had been taken to Lewisham Animal Welfare and we picked him up from Swanlea this morning. -
Our dog went missing at 4.15 pm this afternoon in Forest Hill, Taymount Rise, SE23. We have just moved from East Dulwich so he may well try to find his way back there. He often is mostly walked on Peckham Rye, Dulwich Park and occassionally in Dulwich Woods or Horniman Park. He is wearing a brown leather collar with a blue felt lining. He does not have a dog tag on. He is a really friendly dog. If you have seen him or have any information about him PLEASE call Lynn 07568 307246 or Dennis 07961 115093 We would be most grateful.
