I’m not sure if anybody was watching the Pet Detectives on Channel 4 last night.
As the old Granny on the Catherine Tate show would say ” What a load of old Sh1t ”
Obviously the subject matter is very serious, and hopefully something that none of us ever have to go through, but the funniest parts for me, was when they (The Pet Detectives) had to “Scramble all vehicles” and when the top man in the bright orange high viz jacket fell over a fence, after staking out a Shetland Sheepdog over night.
There were some happy endings, but I am only slightly wondering if these companies are preying on peoples emotions, and extracting large sums of money from people that are in a very distressed state.
I think the methods used by blanketing local area’s with posters etc, (Which here in Ireland can be construed as littering) are being used in a different way by organisations that offer these services Free Of Charge on the internet.
Only this year we at Pedigree Dogs were contacted on a Saturday morning by a regular visitor to the site, advising that a young dog had been stolen from it’s owners house late on that Friday night.
This message spread like wildfire on all the social networks and blogs, and was called out on local radio stations, with the result that the dog became to “Hot” to handle and was released and then picked up by a person whom had heard the request for safe return on the radio, and bingo, the owner was reunited with the dog.
Again, let’s hope that none of us ever have to go through this ordeal, but if it happens, firstly I’d recommend getting touch with sites like Munster Lost And Found or leave it to the real professionals like Ace Venture !
