Any news?

Complete Pet Care, a local company run by Angela Norton, is involved in this shocking event. I heard her interviewed on BBC London.

[d walker]

What did she say in the interview? What is her company doing? I feel for these poor dog owners they must be going through hell.

[Mystic Mog]

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.

[Rosetta]

To listen to the interview go to BBC Radio London on iPlayer, 14 July at the Jo Good programme, on at 1300. Her interview starts after 2 hours in. Last hour of the programme.

Thanks for info -will do. Really hope these dogs will be found soon, it's been over 2 weeks now.

[Rosetta]

If you google her name you can find stories about it in The Evening Standard and Daily Mail.

Apparently the driver left keys in ignition.

[Mystic Mog]

Say no more, its just too upsetting for words, although I can think of loads.

[Rosetta]

The link to DogLost site said the van had 5 dogs in it. A mistake? or maybe they were including the dog the walker was picking up when van was stolen.

Would like to know how many dogs were walked at one time by this company.

[singalto]

Rosetta, I think there were 5 dogs inside but two have been found..

[Rosetta]

Yes, I see now there were 5 dogs and one was found in Sydenham and then another in Swanley.

That means that the walker was going to have at least six dogs with her if she was picking up another dog.

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)?

[Crumpet]

I would not recommend this company.

[KidKruger]

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.

[d walker]

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.

[Take Note]

Agree with Magali. Really feel for the owners and their poor dogs. I hear stories quite often from dog-owners who have previously used this company's services - it beggars belief some of it.

Just noticed an update on doglost that another one of these dogs, Tilly has been found...http://www.doglost.co.uk/dog-blog.php?dogId=102276#forum

[Roxcyzarzar]

Brilliant... so pleased to hear this great news ☺

[Mystic Mog]

What wonderful news, come on Nina and Mattie, thinking of you. x

[d walker]

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.

[Delainie]

Just to keep these two dogs that were stolen in mind, Nina the Lurcher and mattie the teacup yorkie. Let's keep looking out for them.
