COMING home on a recent afternoon, I found that someone had tied a small wire-haired terrier to a post at the bottom of Coldstream Place, in Blackburn.
The dog had been waiting for its owner for two hours when I arrived.
Being a dog owner myself, I took it and sat with it outside my house in case someone came looking for it.
But, in the end, I had to contact the dog warden, who took it to Meadowend Kennels.
Because it was an old dog, the chances of it finding a new home would be very slim and we all know what the outcome will be.
Somewhere out there is a person who, by his or her actions, must be the most wretched and ill-favoured person in this town. Isn't it laughable that we call dumb creatures animals?
