Two
dogs stolen in Warwickshire
TWO
DOGS went missing from their owner’s field in Warwickshire
in broad daylight. It now appears that they have been stolen,
along with a number of other dogs in the locality, victims
of an organised dog stealing ring.
Mrs Andy Hawkes told OUR DOGS that her two dogs were out in
fields on her own land at Rowington, Warwickshire on Sunday
January 18th and then mysteriously disappeared. The dogs,
a Spaniel /Lurcher cross bitch and a cocker spaniel dog were
nowhere to be found, after Mrs Hawkes and her neighbours searched
far and wide – some on horseback – until 11pm at
night.
"I’ve since discovered that neighbours had her working
labrador stolen from a compound by their house a couple of
weeks ago," said Mrs Hawkes. "And a Scottie was
stolen nearby just before Christmas. We’re convinced
it’s the work of an organised gang. Obviously we’re
very anxious and want them back. We’ve leafleted, put
posters up, been to the local media and informed the police,
who are certain that it is an organised gang at work.
"We are offering a rewards for the dogs’ safe return
and I will treat all calls in the strictest of confidence."
The missing dogs: ‘Penny’, a three and a half year
old ‘Splurcher’ (Spaniel/Lurcher cross) who resembles
a black Lurcher, with a white chest, paws and bib, with slight
greying. She is microchipped.
‘Topper’ is a three year-old chocolate brown working
cocker spaniel with a docked tail. He is not microchipped
but was wearing a collar and name tag.
