Today we had a Golden Retriever handed in to the Ranger's Office. The poor boy had been wandering the Common all morning until a kind member of the public brought him in to us. He had no tag and so no visible means of us being able to identify him and return him safely to his owners. Unfortunately we do not have the facility to scan dogs for microchips here.
He has now been taken to Stone Lion vets who have scanned him and will hopefully be able to reunite him with his owners.
Did you know that it is illegal for your dog not to have any visible means of owner idenitifcation? You can be liable to a fine of up to £5,000. It doesn't take much time and nor is it very expensive to get a tag for your pet and have it engraved with your phone number, and it can save a lot of worry.
Please, get your dog tagged.
