UK pair pay ?4,000 for stray dog

Post by Hawq »

A couple spent ?4,000 on bringing back a starving dog that followed them for eight hours while on a holiday trek.
Nicola and Jonathan Cooksley were walking near an extinct volcano in Sao Miguel in the Azores when an abandoned puppy tagged along and would not leave.

He followed them through a lake and up a steep incline for hours. The pair, from Dorset, eventually became so fond of him that they paid to fly him home.
source a bit much yes? I'da just gone down to the pund when I got back if I wanted a dog again

It cost them 4K to toss a kennel-crate onto a plane? O_O

You're missing the point. It's not that they wanted a dog, but that they were touched by his persistence. The high fee was because is cost that much to include him on the flight back home.

I'd have done it, if it were the right dog. I get really attached to my animals. :)

I don't think the money even matters at this point, because the second it hit the international press PETA probably compensated them.

i reckon it's near impossible to go to a dog pound and not come back with a sad faced mutt, i mean most of them just bark, but then you have the expert 'look at my sorry ass face' ones you just can't walk past and God help you if you have kids or a dog liking woman with you.

PS. i typed 'sad faced dog' into Google looking for a suitable pic and the first entry was 'Prisoner Cell Block H (25th Anniversary)' :lol:

PETA doesn't believe in pet ownership.
