·I was invited to join a group on facebook where a guy called Ian was moaning about havingto pay £62 to get his dog back. Basically he explains that the dog escaped and he had to pay £62 to get her back.
Firstly I agree £62 is very steep and is a lot of money but one things that concerned me was that this guy said that if it asn't for his daughter getting upset about the dog not being there he would have left the dog in kennels.
Now I agree £62 is a lot of money but I commented saying that to get my dog returned safe, secure I'd pay anything i was told to pay. No amount of money would be too high to get my dog back. I then went on to explain that teher is in my opinion no excuse for leaving your dog in kennels as a responsible owner would have saved money for any eventuality and would try everything toget the dog returned safely.
So what is your opinion on this? if your dog ran away and the council had safely collected it from the streets, kenneled it, fed it, assessed it, ensured it was healthy and checked by a vet etc would you be making a fuss about the fee to return it? A few people have said I am unreasonable to say I agree with the fees as their dog had run away 6 times (surely that says to me that that owner shouldn't have a dog!!!). I personally would go to hell and back, walk on hot coal, die for my dog if he went missing. £62 by any standards is a lot of money but in return for a safe, happy dog I'd pay it without a grumble at all and ensure that next time my dog couldn't or wouldnt escape.
