Thank goodness they have all been reunited with their owners.

A happy ending, how wonderful.

I'm pleased that they also found the Cockerpoo. She was still missing this morning.

Great news

Wonderful that they were found...

I like that they took themselves for a walk.

You would think that someone stealing a van would notice six dogs in the back before he drove off.

It is terrifying when a pet goes missing - especially these days where they are being stolen by nasty and cruel people.

Why would anyone want 6 dogs, or even 1?

Stupid dog walker left the engine running while he called at his sisters - anyone paying this person to walk their dogs should be very wary of letting him do so again. Apart from anything else it is against the law to leave a vehicle with the engine running. Sad though that this only got national coverage because one of the owners was a BBC journalist - there are many dogs stolen that never get a mention. He also said that five of the dogs were elderly and only one the poodle/cocker cross was worth stealing - and guess which one was missing when they found the other five who had been dumped? Fortunately it was found later.

I thought the van must've been stolen because of the dogs. Looks like I was wrong.
Yes if my dog walker did what this one did she would no longer be my dog walker.

Hopefully the dog Walker was named and shamed.
