email from Spike's owner thank you anna for your sympathy,although i did get a lot of help from people with searches and investigations,the police on the other hand failed in every way whom i am now making a complaint against(i am asking for a change in the law regarding the police and their lack of interest in dealings with gypsies)yes i did see spike's body which upset me because i could see what had happened to him.i got spike when he was just 6 weeks old and vowed i would protect him from evil,he only knew love which i suppose made him innocent of life until that day when i took my eyes off him for just 5 mins i failed him.i could never have another a dog because i'm scared incase i fail that innocent animal whom is dependant on it's owner like a child is to it's mother.people don't realise that dogs are like children,i loved my spike like a mother loves her child
thank you lotus(spike's owner
