Appeal To Find Owner Of Dogs Found In Bobbing

The owner of two unaccompanied dogs found wandering on their leads is being sought by Kent Police officers.

The male and female dogs were found at around 10pm on Monday (2nd October) evening in Parsonage Lane, Bobbing.

Typically, unaccompanied dogs considered lost or abandoned are handed over to the local dog warden when their owners cannot be located. However, the circumstances in which the animals were found on Monday suggest their owner may be unaccounted for and officers are keen find them to ensure they are safe, as well as reunite them with their pets.

The dogs are believed to be between 12 and 18 months old, the male dog has a green collar, and the female dog is wearing a pink collar. One lead is blue and the other lead is green. The male dog has been neutered.

Officers have searched the Parsonage Lane area, including using the Kent Police drone, and have not been able to locate the owner.

Inspector Stephen Callow of Swale’s Local Policing Team told SFM News: "As the area is surrounded by countryside we are keen to make sure the dogs’ owner isn’t unaccounted for and I am asking anyone who recognises the animals to get in touch with us. We have checked them for a microchip, but they do not have one and at present we do not know who they belong to.’

Anyone with information is asked to call 999 quoting 03-0718 or, alternatively, they can call kent Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
