About 5pm today, a white Citroen car pulled up alongside the wall that runs along our orchard and threw a dog over the wall. I couldn’t have been more than 20 feet away on the other side of the wall when it happened, but I wasn’t quick enough to catch the car registration number. It took me a minute or so to work out what was going on and the view of the car was obscured by the trees.
We tried to catch the small white terrier, but unfortunately it escaped in to next door’s field. Trying to find a dog with short legs in a field of long grass is rather like looking for a needle in a haystack!
It did reappear and we did try and catch it again, but to no avail. We did, however, meet one of our neighbours from the next door farm.
We alerted the police to the event, but there isn’t much that can be done. It is amazing how scummy some people are! Hopefully, the dog is still out there somewhere.
