Advice please! Distressed, barking dog shut in motor garage..

[Jules-and-Boo]

It's worthy of noting that the animals are on rotation - it means that this is likely affecting more than one animal.

Just wanted to add to the others thanking you for taking the trouble to follow-up on this poor dog

It?s a dog.

Your point being?

[alice]

It?s a dog.

I think its a measure of our society, how we treat animals.

I am delighted that there are so many people who are genuinely concerned for the well being of animals and are trying to make sure that it is ok.

could be a dog, a cat, a bird, it does not matter.

And you're a c...

...careless, unfortunate person if you think that is a reason not to be concerned by its suffering.

[alice]

5000 concerned posts and the dog?s still barking.

Ha

Actually, I clearly had it right in the first place. I'm terribly sorry your life is so small as to get off trolling on animal cruelty.

All trolls aside.... When passing earlier today at around 8:15pm, I saw the beginnings of what looked like a raid starting to take place, with 4 or 5 tow trucks lined up along Blenheim Grove, and an argument starting to unravel between what I assume were the drivers of the tow trucks and the presumed owner of the garage who was kicking up a fuss.. in the meantime having read Peckhamguy's story of events that had unfolded, with the owner being tasered, I was under the impression that the dog would be in safe hands...

however...

I have just passed the garage on my way home and initially I thought it all seemed quiet. Then the guy in front of me (on the phone), stopped at the garage, looked into the gates, signalled to whoever he was on the phone to and was let in to the garage by someone from the inside... the dog proceeded to bark. The same bark that I, and many of you, have heard for the last month, scrapping any hope that I had earlier this evening.

It seems that although the garage was supposedly raided, the dog is still there and still barking. The whole thing is very dodgy and very suspicious and I will be making my best efforts first thing in the morning to ring the RSPCA for the millionth time :(

More to the point, so are you. Why?

[Blah Blah]

Tow trucks might have been bailiffs rather than Police, or some other authority. They probably were never there for animal welfare reasons. I too echo the good wishes for those pursuing on this.
