Steve Marshall Eight years is a long time, and if the dog was microchipped, I wonder why it was not handed over to the animal shelter earlier. Perhaps, the finder kept it for themselves, and then it escaped from them too, and finally ended up in the animal shelter.

Steve Marshall This news even filtered down to us in Australia. It is always sad when somebody who was loved dies. She was a heavy smoker, and suffered with emphysema, but she passed away quietly in London, with her family all around her.

Steve Marshall What a great waste of milk, as it might not be fit to use again, having left the truck like that. These truck drivers must be made not to drive so fast, especially with valuable, and vulnerable, cargo on board.
