A heartbroken dog owner whose pet escaped doggie day care only to be killed, wants strict home boarding regulations introduced in Northern Ireland
.
“I rushed to the area and just started looking. I called my wife, parents and friends to come and help search for Bobby and we got in touch with Lost Paws NI who were brilliant. “A family member updated our social media post to let people know Bobby had been killed and the business owner called me at 11pm. I was in no fit state to take the call.
“But now he’s gone and our baby is not even here yet. I feel so guilty about taking him to that day care. We were both working and wanted him to spend that day with other dogs rather than be on his own in our house. The hole that has been left in our home and in our lives is hard to explain. We are bereft and I am angry that this whole situation was avoidable.
He said: “It’s unbelievable. There is no way for me to hold the business to account for Bobby’s escape and subsequent death. We entrusted him into their care, he escaped and got killed and nothing happens. “I was with Bobby all day apart from going into my house for my lunch. The dogs were placed into my secure doggy living room while I had my lunch. Around 4.30pm we prepared to go to my field for some exercise. My husband and son helped me to get the dogs down to the field.
“And later that evening I saw a social media post saying Bobby had been hit and unfortunately killed by a car. I immediately rang Mr Norwood but he didn’t answer. I rang his dad and he said they would collect Bobby from the roadside in the morning as it was dark. Myself, my husband and son searched the edges of the carriage way searching with a torch until we found Bobby.
