"A year of suffering, wondering & knowing someone knows where our Rufus is
No words can describe that feeling. It consumes you daily. Knowing it would only take one phone call to end the misery & heartache.
One anonymous call we just want him home where he is loved #stolendoghour

[Dogs On The Streets @dotslondon]

Yesterday, Dogs on the Streets received an urgent call from someone we have supported for many years.

Over the years, we've stood by the owner through some of his darkest times, including taking his beloved dog, Taz, into foster care when he needed help.

Taz wasn't just a pet – he was family, a companion, and one of the biggest reasons his owner kept fighting through his rehabilitation journey.
Yesterday, Taz suddenly collapsed. He was heavily panting, vomiting, and rapidly deteriorating. In desperation, his owner contacted the veterinary practice that had been involved with Taz over the years. Shockingly, they refused to see him because there were no funds available upfront and no payment plan could be agreed.

How can a dog be left to suffer in such a critical condition because of money? It is absolutely heartbreaking and, quite frankly, shocking.
As soon as we received the call, we stepped in immediately.
Sadly, by the time Taz was assessed, his condition had deteriorated so severely that the vet advised the kindest and most humane option was euthanasia. There was no quality of life left for him, and he was suffering greatly.

our hearts are broken for Taz's owner. The bond they shared was incredible, and the loss is devastating. No one should have to face this alone.

Dogs on the Streets has covered the full veterinary bill of £571.90 including Taz's euthanasia, an individual cremation, and the return of his ashes so that he can come home where he belongs.
We will continue to support his owner through this unimaginable loss, just as we always have.

Run free, beautiful Taz. 🌈🐾

You were loved beyond words, and you will never be forgotten.
To all veterinary practices: please remember that behind every dog is a human being who loves them. Compassion should never depend solely on the size of someone's bank account.

If anyone would like to help contribute towards the cost we made you can do so in the link below and if you could title it Taz, thank you 🧡

If you have just arrived and are wondering why so much of this account is given over to a bull, a ewe, a goat and a few other animals in fields you will never visit, stay a moment. There is a reason.

These are the Ruminati. Each is a living argument doing an ancient job, and between them they dismantle most of what the modern world believes about food, land, and who is to blame for the planet.

Gerald, a Hereford bull, has spent four years turning one corner of one field into wildflowers, and has never asked anyone to notice.

Doris, a Texel ewe, knows fifty faces and forecasts the weather better than the BBC. She is the answer to anyone who calls the animals we eat stupid.

Keith, an Anglo-Nubian goat, respects no fence in Devon and turns land no plough could touch into food.

Eduardo, an alpaca, grows a fibre finer than cashmere on Welsh rain, and is guarding an orphan lamb that has decided it is a small strange alpaca.

Freya, a European bison, is back on a hill her kind left six thousand years ago, raising a fox-coloured calf, Seren, who already leads the herd out in front of her.

Marged, a Tamworth pig, turns an old orchard over with her nose and hands it back richer than she found it.

Hector, a Cavalry Black, stood seventeen years for the Household Cavalry and has lately decided it is safe to lie down and sleep. And Moss, a collie pup, is learning the oldest job a dog has.

Here is what they stand for. You will have been told animals like these are wrecking the planet. The methane a grazing cow breathes out is carbon the grass pulled from the air last season and sent straight back, nothing like the ancient carbon we drag from the ground and burn. The wildflowers and the curlew are here because of the grazing animals, not despite them. Strip the livestock off a British hill and you do not get Eden. You get bracken, scrub and silence.

So this account exists to defend the British farmer, lectured for a generation by people who have never mended a wall in the rain. The man at the gate at first light and the shepherd on the fell in January are the reason this island still works.

Underneath sits the oldest pattern of all. The people telling everyone what to eat were never short of meat themselves. The poor got the bread and the gruel and were told to be grateful. The modern version swapped the top hat for a lab coat, but the message is the same. Eat less of the food that built you. Trust the chart. I do not accept it, and neither do they. Real food is the birthright of ordinary people, not a luxury rationed out by the fashionable.

So while the country argues over who runs it, the truth sits in the fields, chewing. A bull, a ewe, a goat and the farmers nobody thanks keep this nation fed and its hills alive. The Ruminati run the country. They always have, and never bothered with a press release.

Eat well, train hard, mind the land, and come back tomorrow. Pull up a chair at the gate. Gerald will not mind.

Yesterday I was watching the news and former Defence Minister James Heappey was on, urging us to spend way more on defence.

Then the presenter said,

"Mr.Heappey who now works for a company that makes software for drones"

Of course he does...it's a revolving door.

He & his buddies at the boar barn are all giant non castrated boars. I have seen them first hand & they are magnificent huge boys. I had to close my eyes at some of the viewpoints 🫣🌰🌰🤣

They are so unique & rare.

@premnsikka @LilyClegg1 They complain young people are not in work they also complain about increase in disability benefits yet totally ignore they keep raising state pension age, which will obviously affect job availability and increase in disability benefit.
They instead choose to demonise people.
