This is a little ambiguous though from the HBC site:-

'The first time a dog is caught straying, the dog wardens will try to trace the owners and return it.
Any other stray will be kept safely for up to seven days.'


In that case, did the Sue's dogs not have any name tags or chips ?


Seems they do a dog chipping service @ £9.50 .. not expensive, and there is also a channel for people on benefits.
