Re: Missing dog
 

its so funny, the guy lost his dog, asked if anyone has seen the dog and then all of u manage to make a discussion that covers 4 pages in this forum, its unreal haha

Re: Missing dog
 

This is a discussion forum after all. His dog is no longer lost, everyone hopes he gets it back. We are just discussing the whole dog warden/escaped dog thing now.

What are your feeling on the £70 - do you think it is a good enough deterrent to keep dogs off the streets on their own?

Re: Missing dog
 

Yolanda you are spot on...this a dog who got lost.
Not a mugging...although I think the dog and it's owner have been mugged.
I think the answer has got to be, dont leave yourself open to the smart arsed comments from the chosen few who are hell bent on making a small issue into a catastophe. :)

Re: Missing dog
 

Thankfully, catastrophe was avoided thanks to a vigilant dog warden. :)

Edit......I've messed up with the quoting, all bits in blue are mine, not Royboy's

I am not allowed to say Bullsh1t...but I will go for it anyway ;)

Re: Missing dog
 

Im sorry to be rude but u werent only talking about the 70 pound charge, you were all talkin abot if a child gets out of wether he left the door open or wether it was the bin men, loads of expeculations( dont know if thats how its spelled) anyway the poor man made a mistake or the bin men did , who knows, who cares, the 70 pound charge, a disgrace! just give the poor bloke his dog back your thieving dog wardens!!

Re: Missing dog
 

Yolanda.....your logic makes perfect sense. :D

Re: Missing dog
 

Please don't be offensive to the Dog Warden, he is not a thief, unless you can prove otherwise, he is only doing his job. He has rules to follow and he is doing a good job. I was talking with him a couple of weeks ago and he was explaining that he spends quite a lot of time in schools educating children about dogs.

Something else for you to think about.

What are the odds that our one dog warden for the whole of the Borough, just happened to spot this dog?
More likely that one of Jae's neighbours reported that the dog was out to the dog warden who was then obliged to follow it up.

Re: Missing dog
 

£70 sounds about right to me, and the scenario that Neil has just mentioned sounds about right too. ( Bear in mind you can get a fine of about £60 for dropping a cigarette end, it's still a law that has been broken.)

Re: Missing dog
 

teh law was broken by teh council employee who let it out then so they shoud foot teh bill or let it drop and give teh dog back

Re: Missing dog
 

I agree with you

Re: Missing dog
 

The one thing that's surprised me with his whole thread all four or so pages of it, is that nobody has blamed Peter Britcliffe:D

Re: Missing dog
 

well I once had a dog ..I let it out one stormy eve .. he never came back...I often wonder if he found a new life with a lady dog and had children..anyways I blame Peter Britcliffe.

Re: Missing dog
 

Which law did the council employee break? :confused:

Re: Missing dog
 

If the dog was picked up before 5 p.m Panther (seems like Dog Warden's operating hours), then don't see the problem why he could not have returned it to the owner ... as per the guides laid down on the HBC site .. see my #8.
However, maybe, the dog didn't have a collar or was chipped ? This would be the only excuse for taking it to the kennels straight away. Jae hasn't been back on to give us any further details, which is a bit annoying .. mind you, perhaps doesn't want any more accusations of bad ownership, etc.

As for the binmen; if they were making a furniture collection, possibly Jae's household had asked them to collect on an open collection, which can be anytime within 10 days, so would have to leave the door unbarred.
