Anyone lost a black Cockapoo? It was tied up outside Sainsbury?s local today. A Southwark council employer has taken the dog to see if anyone has reported the dog missing. The poor dog was very dehydrated. The dog is a female and had a red extending lead. Please get in touch if you saw the owner/owners or have any info.

Any update on this? Poor dog, I hope she's now somewhere safe.

No update. It?s all rather surreal as he wouldn?t let my mum look after the dog until she was collected by the dog warden or owner. He insisted on taking the dog with him.

Could it be that the person apparently from Southwark council was in fact the owner and didn't want anyone to know due to poor condition of the dog? That's the only thing that makes sense of his behaviour

The dog looked well, but was very dehydrated and it didn?t seems to like him according to my mum. I have asked him for an update, I?ve copied in his work colleagues, Battersea was contacted too. It?s weird that is sure.

It's a bit worrying. If there's no information forthcoming I would be doubly suspicious and maybe check with whichever Southwark department he works for? Dog could have been kidnapped for all we know. It's so easy to be wise after the event and think about what one should do in these circumstances. Probably the best thing is to insist on ID before dog taken away but not so easy to think of these things at the time. I hope we all get answers about where this dog has ended up.

He replied back to say: On the dog owner issue, they found the owner as I stuck around for an hour or so at the shop I found her at and then the owner came to collect her after the shop keeper saying that the pwner came back and left contact details etc. It was exactly as I said in that the owner had forgotten her but at least she's back with her owner now.

Good news. I love a happy ending
