"Please can anyone in the Wellington / TauNton area look out for my truck, Isuzu Denver Rodeo W13 00F stolen at 13.40 in Kittisford with Ava and Hattie my two Weimaraners in the back of the pickup. Police notified.

 Tel 01823 673314. Both dogs ar e microchipped. "

Would people in the area (and outside) please keep a lookout. Ava, the younger hound is only a pup. Thanks.

I'm pleased to report that both dogs and the truck have been found.  The dogs are both safely home and the truck is with forensics

Great news, and thanks to all who kept an eye out.

This from a very grateful owner:

"Am very relieved and grateful to report that dogs were returned by the senior policman in charge of the investigation an hour or so ago! Who happens to be on our shoot and who I'd just given lunch to as he was on duty straight after! He organised helicopter search, razzed neighbouring police forces up, had everyone of the case by the sound of it and they truck was found unscathed with the dogs still in the back, very annoyed at how their beating afternoon had ended up!

So they had a ride back in the police car, delivered to my door - how great is that ?? "

The truck is with forensics. Let's hope the police get a result for that too.
