Yes, I agree with the previous comment, what is that company doing to find these 3 poor creatures still missing? We know the owners are definitely going through hell, as are all us animal lovers clinging on to the hope of a good outcome. So much time has elapsed but lets be optimistic, however hard that is.

It's common practice for this company to pick up 10 dogs, walk 5 when the rest are kept in the van...when the walker is actually walking, as too often they sit and wait with most dogs on leads...

It took 10 days for the company's boss to finally put up that poster picture on her Facebook page...

Wouldn't let them go near my dogs...

I was worried that this was turning into an attack on this company, but if that is true, it is shocking.

added to the posts some time ago about dog walkers who didn't actually take any dogs for walks, how can we ensure that dog walkers are doing what they're paid to do (and dogs aren't suffering)?

unless anyone knows definitively that there was an intention to walk a kazillion dogs, then why not shut up with the did-they / didn't they bollox, because you just don't know.

You don't know whether several dogs were about to be dropped off. you don't know whether the dog in house was being dropped-off or not. you don't know squat, which is why the tiresome conjecture above is pointless and distracts from the issue at hand which is missing dogs.

So concentrate on the missing dogs or start a 'foundless uninformed speculation on dog walker behaviour' thread.

Although sadly KidKruger, people aren't speculating on dog walker behaviour. The facts are that the keys were left in the van's ignition hence an easy target for theft and that's why we now have 3 dogs missing.


There are good and bad professional dog walking services, I see it myself on my daily walks with my dog. Some companies do pick up lots of dogs in vans, meaning some of the dogs spend a lot of time in the van, that's fine if the owners are aware and happy with this arrangement. Some dogs are walked in very large groups, again fine if owners know this and their dogs are confident to be in a large pack. My concern, and I could be wrong, is that owners are unaware of what goes on when they entrust their dog to a paid carer.

Fantastic news and well done to all the volunteers of "dog lost ", who have tirelessly been searching for these dogs over the past month. However, two are still missing ( Nina & Mattie ), so please keep looking and passing information on to get the last two back home.

    • He seemed to me to be fully immersed in the Jeremy Corbyn ethos of the Labour Party. I dint think that (and self describing as a Marxist) would have helped much when Labour was changed under Starmer. There was a purge of people as far left as him that he was lucky to survive once in my opinion.   Stuff like this heavy endorsement of Momentum and Corbyn. It doesn't wash with a party that is in actual government.   https://labourlist.org/2020/04/forward-momentum-weve-launched-to-change-it-from-the-bottom-up/
    • I perceive the problem.simply as spending too much without first shoring up the economy.  If the government had reduced borrowing,  and as much as most hate the idea, reduced government deiartment spending (so called austerity) and not bowed to union pressures for pay rises, then encouraged businesses to grow, extra cash would have entered the coffers and at a later stage when the economy was in a stronger position rises in NI or taxes would have a lesser impact, but instead Reeves turned that on its head by increasing ni which has killed growth, increased prices and shimmied the economy.  What's worse is that the perceived 20 billion black hole has increased to 30 billion in a year. Is there a risk that after 5 years it could be as high as 70 billion ???     
    • That petition is bananas.   If you want a youth centre there pay the landlord the same rent a Londis would and build it yourself or shut the f**k up to be honest. Wasting our MPs time with this trivial nonsense is appalling. If your kids are still out at 1am on a school night you've got bigger problems than vapes and booze and hot sausage rolls.
