Relax, Wanstead. The dog is home

The delightful six-month-old poodle puppy which was found on Wellesley Road earlier in the week is back at home, safe and sound. After being found and taken to Goddard’s vets, it was located by the owner’s son, who had been trawling dogs’ homes to find it. (Hat tip to Petty Son & Prestwich’s John Wagstaff for turning doggy detective in trying to find out what happened.) Hopefully the puppy will make an appearance at the Wanstead Village Dog Show on Monday.
