Well believe it or not, all caravan rescues do not go to plan. The perfect plan was to go up to Doncaster to view and buy a caravan tow it home via my sisters to drop her Xmas stuff in, well that was the plan.
On the journey up cars in front started swerving and there wandering up and down the road was a Japaneese Akita Dog, being a soft touch I pulled up on the verge and after a few minutes the dog settled on the side of the road allowing me to hold it by the collar, 2 minutes later I noticed something behind it in the hedgerow a very badly injured staffordshire terrier, hence the reason the Akita wouldn't leave. Anyway to cut a long story short, after the police attended and both dogs let me and an officer help load them into their van we were on the way again. Well that was us 3/4 hour late, pulled off at the exit to find the roundabout closed. An hour diversion followed by which time the vans owner had gone to the football match and I had to settle for lunch at my sisters and a long drive home. No news as yet on the injuered dog and the van went to the person who viewed the next day, so back to project looking lol. Steve |

I have sent him an email to see how he's progressing, so will wait and see if I get a reply. I must admit I'd willingly clear the driveway for that Paladin |

But you rescued two dogs which had obviously been kicked out of a car and abandoned and left to die by the roadside! I can't believe that there are people out there who do this, when you can take dogs to a home or rehouse them... makes me so sad. Poor dogs.
Thanks goodness you turned up when you did!
Shame about the caravan, I hope you find another one soon. |

Hi JayJay. The outcome from the police was that the owner of the dogs actually let them out because she couldn't be bothered to alk them. She has now lost both dogs and faces prosecution |
