Borderpower Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 Dog's desperate chase after car as callous owner dumps her in field She thought they were going for a gentle walk in the field together. But suddenly, inexplicably, Ginger's owner turned on his heel, ran back to the car and drove off, leaving the dog behind. Terrified to see him disappearing, the Shetland-cross terrier chased the car as it pulled away. But, limping badly thanks to her overgrown claws, she had to stop. Luckily for Ginger, staff at a nearby office block saw what had happened. They ran outside and took the distressed dog inside. One took her to the vet to have her claws trimmed - which is what had been causing the limp and then she was collected by the council's dog warden team. However, the scene was also captured on CCTV. So officials are also trying to trace the owner, in the hope that he can be prosecuted for his cruelty to the pet. Steve Sudworth, who was working in the offices at British Marine Technology, in Weymouth, Dorset, explained how saw the man dump Ginger. 'I happened to see the man and dog walk towards the woods behind our building. After a few seconds I saw the man walking very fast back to the car and he jumped in. 'I thought he was going to shout for the dog but the car started reversing and pulled out of the car park fast. 'The dog tried to follow but couldn't because of the limp.' The dog is being kept by Weymouth and Portland Borough Council. Chris Robertson, assistant dog warden, said: 'Ginger is a really nice dog, she has a lovely temperament. 'I don't know why anyone would just abandon her.' If prosecuted, her owner could face six months in prison and/or £20,000 fine.

I hope she finds a loving home. Ginger looks beautiful(photo and video in link) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k9angel Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 She is gorgeous. Poor girl. I have heard stories before of dogs that are dumped from a car, will often give chase. How very sad - you can only imagine the thoughts going through their minds, being deserted and abandoned like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

koalathebear Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 I almost cried when I read this ... that poor dog - and the way it ran after the car ... I could just imagine how distraught my dog would be if something like that happened. I cannot believe he could be so heartless - coolly and calmly driving off and abandoning his poor dog like that.

mona Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 I saw this story on the new this morning . The 'person' who did this made me On a brighter note - the story concluded with the fact that there had been a flood of offers for providing the pooch with a new home .

Everythings Shiny Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 How can people do this to defenceless animals. I'm glad people are offering this poor dog a new home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MelodysMum Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 The poor girl! Thank goodness the people in the office saw it happen and were able to rescue her! She could have been killed trying to chase her owner or find her way home. She is much better off without such a loser of an owner and she will soon have the home she deserves! Hopefully her owner will get what he deserves too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
