Watched two dogs (black and gold Labs) mucking about, running over peoples gardens and clearly no owner in sight. I tried to call them and they took off in the direction of the main road.
I trotted to the corner and a woman pulled over in a car and said "they're headed towards the A51...!"
I shouted to my labourer to get in the van and off we went. Caught up with them happily trotting up towards a link to the A51 along with dozens of pulled over concerned motorists. Managed to coerce one of them into the back of the van but the black fella took off across the fields. My labourer managed to keep up with him until he took off through a stream.
When we got back to site I phoned all the relevant authorities and waited for the dog warden. The guy who owns them turned up and claimed his dog with a weak "yeah soz they always do this when I'm hunting rabbits etc" and took off in his battered pick up.
He'd got the black fella with him. Nice bloke.
