Awe thats so sad. Its just far too easy for people to get dogs.
As I was walking my two passed a house a couple of weeks ago a staffy escaped as the owner was going out the door. The owner called it and it didn't come back. She just got in the car and drove off and left it on the road :-(
I took my dogs home and went back but couldn't catch it. It was very nervous and cars were having to avoid it. I phoned the RSPCA. I don't know what happened but I saw it back in its own garden yesterday.
