Black Lab Dog Found

Anyone missing a Black Lab Dog, found this morning up the Coppice, please get in touch.

Re: Black Lab Dog Found

Update - dog owner found and contacted through good old Facebook.
With no thanks to the dog being either chipped or with a tag.
Can I just remind anyone with a dog to please please ensure your dog at least has a tag with your phone number on his collar - this is also a legal requirement.

Re: Black Lab Dog Found

The legal requirement is not a tag with a phone number, it is a tag on the collar with the name and address of the owner. I believe the maximum fine for a dog without a collar or without a correctly worded tag in a public place is £1000

Here is most of the Control Of Dogs Order 1992

Quote:

Title and commencement

(a)any pack of hounds,

(b)any dog while being used for sporting purposes,

Offences

3. The owner of a dog or the person in charge of a dog who, without lawful authority or excuse, proof of which shall lie on him, causes or permits the dog to be in a highway or in a place of public resort not wearing a collar as prescribed in article 2(1) above shall be guilty of an offence against the Animal Health Act 1981.

Seizure of dogs

Re: Black Lab Dog Found

I am glad that the dog has been reunited with his owner.I hope that now they will get him microchipped. It does not hurt the dog and makes it easier to reunite him with his owner. The R.S.P.C.A and all vets have scanners to ckeck the chips of lost dogs.

Micro chipping is a good idea in case your dog is stolen or manages to lose its collar but the law states a collar and tag so that should be the first thing they do.

If I found a dog that had the owners name and address on its tag I would return it or phone the owner if it had a number on it. Otherwise it would be a job for the dog warden to find the owner after I contacted him.

Re: Black Lab Dog Found

We don't know that the dog-owner didn't thank Kisser, it doesn't actually say they didn't - unless I'm reading it wrong....

Ahh, fair enough then....if it were me, a bottle of the finest 3 for £10 Asda wine would be winging it's way to the finder of my dog!!

Re: Black Lab Dog Found

If I recall from a few years back, wasn't their several cases of pack dogs up on the back end of the coppice doing a lot of sheep worrying and several of them ending up getting shot - which a farmer is quite entitled to do. Still, I suppose if it's been brought down and returned to it's rightful owner it can't do any damage. However, it will be interesting to see if any news emerges over the next few days of sheep & lambs having their throats bitten out just for fun.
