There are two things that dog owners fear the most. That their dog might run away never to be seen again, or that it might be dognapped.
Around 11.30am this morning I left our house in Norfolk to go to Cromer for a round of golf. Fifteen minutes later, I was driving past Waitrose on the outskirts of North Walsham when my phone rang. It was John. Oh God, I thought to myself, what have I forgotten or left behind?
I picked up on hands free. Dude s gone, he said. I can t find him. He s nowhere in the house or garden. He must have escaped. A chill went down my spine. As I walked out the door, I did wonder where Dude was as he usually comes bounding through the house if he hears the door open, but I didn t think anything of it.
