No kmore news since last posting from Nik. i think the young man in question did not turn up for his bail- hence her last posting about the police as still waiting to hear whether they will prosecute. I have left a message for Nik to update but as its half term she may be away. CJ

On Friday, I went to Battersea Dogs Home, London Branch, to check for any of our local missing dogs. (I live in Surrey). The staff v. kindly took me all round the holding kennels behind the scenes where all new arrivals, those being assessed etc are kept. So very many staffies and quite a few white ones. It is worth checking at Battersea in person regularly, or asking a friend who know Scrappy to do so for you. I know he is chipped and Battersea staff are v. efficient - but mistakes do happen. Do hope you have good news soon. Px

Ok, I have done a follow up phone call to the man who left the message about seeing a white SBT near Sleaford in Lincs. I actually spoke to the wife who was the one who had seen it properly and most. The dog was very nervous and wouldnt come close at all. They live on a farm and they think a couple of times may have slept in the barn, as she saw him leaving a couple of mornings. Hasnt been seen for a week or so, but they will inform me if there are any sightings at all. They did feed this dog aswell, leaving food down near the barn for him. Lets not give up hope on Scrappy.

Just been catching up on Scrappy, and very disappointed that there is little progress. I'm a senior social worker and every day come into contact with kids like the one who stole Scrappy. Now, kids do need their rights protected, which is why we have the Children Act (no 's' on the end) - it's a good piece of legislation and has saved lives. All of us need the Human Rights Act, and animals need a specific Act relating to their rights too - not to do with human responsibility, environment etc, but to do with the fact that they are sentient beings, and should therefore be protected. The criminal law must also protect them, and that clearly has not happened here. Also, I would just say a word about the somewhat lax attitude towards the boy's behaviour by his social worker, carer and the residential home. The word is "slack", and here's another couple - "poor practice". It will never be in this young person's interest to let him get away with breaking the law and hurting people. If I were his social worker, I would be doing a piece of work with him about responsibility, morals, and would be demanding that he put right what he has done. It's called 'reparation' and it aims at turning out responsible adults.

if its any consolation the police did recover a stolen dog up our way. A young lad was walking his bull mastiff pup and was ambushed by some young lads who stole the dog. We postered but in the end the police did find the dog and the youths charged. They are slow but sometimes they do get results. The owners son tho doesn't walk the dog alone anymore. Do you think the dog could be in the Gravesend area? near where the lad got done for theft??? You are doing a great job ,keep the pressure up.

It must be so infuriating for you when the people who should help just pass a dog off as being nothing important. I just hope it never happens to them. They probably have not got any pets anyway, to take that attitude. GRRRRRRRRRRR some people. I hope you are safe Scrappy sweetie. xx

Medway Council have asked us to post the following statement: "We wish Nicky luck in finding Scrappy. This is a criminal matter and we would advise Scrappy?s owner to contact the police. A child being fostered in Medway could be the responsibility of another council anywhere in the country, as the child may be fostered through a private agency. Medway Council does not employ either of the named social workers. We do hope Scrappy is returned to his rightful owner without delay."

Hi nicky who has told you to stop harrassing the social worker etc?? But it is alright for that lad to turn your life upside down , steal a member of your family and nothing happens to that lad, where is your justice !! All they needed to do was bring the dog back when they new where he was and that would of been that in a kind of round about way but no he had to go and cause you more upset by selling the dog on !! He has got away with it so far he even gets to go on holiday while you have cancelled yours due to scrappy being stolen by this youth ! And they expect you to stop harraising them it is not harrasing it is being concerned about your dogs welfare and want him home he is your family member and need him home how dare them say you are harrasing this is a family member a very much loved family member not a item or a bag or a book it's a family member !! This world is so wrong so many very sad people in this world !!! What they going to do to you arrest you for harrasment ?? Like i said this world is so wrong !! We will get scrappy home wheather the police want to help or not !! Be strong and never give up !! fight all the way and good luck riverlady x Nicky sending you all our luv and strength !! Where there is a will there is a way !

Is the youth nearly 18? He must be if they were going to put him in a hostel.....because when he turns 18 he is an adult then social services will him like a ton of bricks....as an adult he will be on his own...and chargeable with theft,non compliance with the Animal Welfare Act and deception. He must be 16/ 17ish ????? But if he turns 18 any day its all change. The very best of luck .

Sit and write letters of complaints, formal complaints.The social worker is at the bottom of the ladder, go to the top. The foster carers earn loads plus expenses and should be made aware they made a big mistake. Have no pity for them as they are all trained to do their jobs by the letter of the law. They have all broken the law and should be told so by their Head of Social Services.........simply so they dont do it ever again plus they are still in daily contact with the youth and they might get more info?? Keep at it the computer is a useful tool.

Things get worse and worse in this country. When is common sense and decency going to return. Yesterday a murderer who deprived a family of a father and husband allowed to stay in this country on his release because of his human rights. The Act should have been called The Human Rights Act of Criminals, that it seems is all it is. Until the police force and lawyers etc. recognise that it is criminals who must be punished, not the innocent there is no hope for this country. Keep fighting Nicky 1! the only hope is maximum publicity for every single case of this kind until those who have the power to stop this insanity get off their backsides and DO SOMETHING! Sorry you are missing your holiday Nicky but can understand how you feel and I would feel exactly the same

PUT HIM IN THE ARMY ! Me and my husband come from a broken home etc but we didn't turn out to be little sts !! so sont even use that excuse !! you will get scrappy back be patient and hold on with all your might !! And to the old bill do something good for a change and help the good guys out you might think it is just a dog but it is not just a dog or a family member it is also a !!!!!!!!!!!!!!STOLEN DOG !!!!!!!!

The social worker will be thinking of the youths rights .....thats why we have such problems under the Childrens Acts they have more rights than royalty....they each have an army of social workers, solicitors and barristers t to protect them...... what you have to moan/nag insist on is that under the Welfare Act 2006 Scrappy has rights, the question is who was 'responsible'?? who took scrappy away from his regular diet and routine??? A mature dog settled and now anywhere....I'll have a search on the net tomorrow and stay in touch with Battersea, you can do a lot with the computer, email vets, rescue centres, RSPCA, Blue Cross hospitals,find the local free papers. You must be devastated stay strong

Well I'm glad the police read it and if I'd known I'd written a bit more. The Police need the pressure kept on them to link up the North London lot. I am livid with the Social Services, they had a 'duty to care' and failed and I'd be asking them what are they doing about it??? Maybe they could link up with North London services and try to rectify their stupidness. If no HornseyN7 helpers reply I could trek up on train for day and go padding about postering asking about cr washes.

So the police are not amused .WELL neither are we with the slaphazard way this whole case is being handled. How about doing the right thing for the sake of the dog for once or is there no feelings for the animal . I am slowly losing respect for the police where animals are concerned.

Just had a further update from Nicola. The police have visited again . It seems that the court case is to be postphoned as the youth in question is ]] wait for it]] being sent away on holiday.!!! If we knew the area maybe we could get out an alert!! The pc who visited was shown this web site but the onwer askjing him to take stock of all the dogs that go missing- many stolen. He did read the commnets on this thread and ' was not amused'. No comment. The annoying thing about this whole episode is that if the foster parent or social worker had acted in a sensible manner and found out more about Scrappy by alereting a dog warden then he would have been home the same evening!! ALL WE DO KNOW- is that Scrappy was sold to a friend of a man who works in a car wash. if anyone in the area around Hornsey N7 borough of harringate knows of ANY hand or automated car wash places would they please take ina poster and ask them to show staff or place it on the premises. you can tell them the dog was stolen and someone working in a car wash has passed on the dog. HELPERS please post if you can do this. thank you. CJ

How unusual for the old bill ! Another youth bites the dust !! So how do they expain the situation to the owners of scrappy ?? Oh sorry we gave him time to do the right thing, we thought we would him give the chance to bring the dog back and do the right thing BUT !!!!! Some times i worry what kind of world we live in ? The old bill couldn't organise a booze up i a brewery !! Mind you thats where they like going after work so they might just manage that !!! Forget about them looks like north london needs a good looking at and more postering to get scrappy home ! Someone must know something!!! He must of been seen !! Scrappy come on boy show your self x keep safe untill you are found very soon x

It seems the police still have done nothing and now they are unsure of the whereabouts of the youth!! Dont suppose it has anything to do with the fact he is due in court soon for another charge- did they think he would stay put???

The police can be helpful sometimes.....especially the PCSO's Police Community Support Officers who ride about on bicycles in yellow ....they talk to the youths, patrol the estates and they can be reached on-line, slowly you could look up each London borough then email them a poster, the real coppers are a different kettle of fish and regard dog theft as low level crime also the PCSO's nose into back gardens , check alleys and make it their business........by complaining you will find them behaving differently, prompt and polite coz its all logged down and goes towards statistics and they want to be top of the league if they can.

Y' know what?! - It AMAZES me, the way the Police are so disinterested if a Dog is stolen! HOWEVER - if a CAR is taken, we're MORE than welcomed to watch televised high speed chases, involving God knows how many Police cars, from the comfort and view of a Police helicopter! WHO CARES?! A car is oh-so easily replaced! - Merely an inconvinience! WHEN A BELOVED DOG IS TAKEN: So is a piece of your heart, life and soul! - Your very being in fact! Now - how easily is THAT pain and time replaced? - It ISN'T! With, er - "respect" - our Authorities/Police need to wake up to that! - It might even make "people" think twice about stealing/taking irreplaceable members of our "families !" - AKA "property?!"

They are breaking the law........The Animal Welfare Act 2006 check defra.gov.uk . The Act came into force 6th April 2007 and max fine is ?20,000. Get ready for monday morning then threaten them all, the Police, the youth and head of Social services with legal action. The Social Services will be blindly following The Childrens Act but you must open their eyes to the fact that animals now have NEW rights as well as children. They MUST ensure that ALL the welfare needs are met........it is the owners or keepers responsibility......and they MUST be protected from pain, injury, suffering and disease. They admit they know the whereabouts of the alleged keeper therefore they are under the law required to ensure SCRAPPYS welfare rights and needs are being met. Look up defra, read about the Act then quote it to them. the very best of luck.

Scrappys owner phoned last night as unable to loog in- (trying to find out why for her). The youth in question has now been charged and will be appearing in court At Chatham on 24th. The police recon they know where the dog is yet still will not tell the owner. the person they think has the dog is now away on holiday and not back until the 10th. The PC dealing with this case is not returning calls to the ownerand he does not seem to be updating the records so others are not aware of the full story!!. She is now trying her local MP. We have already sent the story to the national papers when we first heard but so far no response!! CJ

Get in contact with your local MP, complain to head of Social Services involved because technically the youth was their 'responsibility'.....also isn't there a new law regarding the WELFARE of animals WHAT ABOUT SCRAPPYS WELFARE???...are the police, the youth and social services ignoring Scrappy's legal right to adequate welfare? My heart goes out to you. Kick up a stink at the top.

Why oh Why !!! are the police giving this lad extra time to bring the dog in. Can they not get the dog back home to its owner first and then deal with the lad accordingly. Something does not seem right here. Given extra time the lad could pass the dog on to someone else, so the police will not have achieved anything. I would go higher with this pursuit. If it was a human baby it would not be delayed giving it back to the owner. Fingers crossed you soon get Scrappy back with you. xx

Recent update. Police gave youth till monday to bring dog back to avoid charges- this has now been extended to next week!! The police say they know where the dog is??? But waiting for the youth to bring him back ??? if not owner is insisting on pressing charges. Area is London so recon we need to concentrate on the area around the hostel. Those with local knowledge perhaps they would post to assist others of the area. thanks CJ

She needs as much help as possible from helpers on this site esp the ones in this area. Owner has also placed the details on gumtree as there seems to be a lot of people from London who read this site. We need to find out who is holding this dog. CJ

If the youth went up to North London they jump on and off the North London Line which ends up in Richmond it might be worth postering the stations. The North London Line is separate from the underground and is usually shown as a white line on underground maps. Lot of people use it.

TO SCRAPPY'S OWNER, (and J & CJ) Thank you for being so kind and thank you for being so grateful! I'm SO SORRY it wasn't Scrappy, but being able to see and "play" with this dog (Max) it was so obviously not him! This one was about 9 months old, and the young lad had only had him for a little while. Which suddenly made me realise "of course" that's why I'd never seen a white staffy before! I'm TRULY SORRY if I'd raised your hopes, but, well... (I am sorry!) Hang on in there though, won't you ?! Thank you one n' all! Stephen H (xxx)

In answer to your question. If you spot a missing dog with any one potentially undesirable would suggest keeping a safe distance and follow- without looking to suspicious. If they then go into a house then take note of address.At this point you must NEVER put your self or others at risk. Police should be involved as tbis dog is stolen property. if you get to this stage contact someone at doglost. C.J.- PS there are 2 Janes on this site- Jayne the founder of doglost at HQ. Im the other one- Calamity Jane.

Why thanks Jayne !... ...As I said, I've not come across with "clarity" as such ! I know EXACTLY what to do regarding "rounding up" a stray dog... On July 31st 1999... there was a gorgeous GSD walking the streets 'round here, so I simply followed him to the park, where I was able to calmly call him to me - put a "Bonio" on the ground, and confidently/(p'haps stupidly ? - nah !) put a spare lead gently over his head, and brought him home ! - Where he stayed for around 21 days !... I contacted the Police - USELESS !! - Dog warden - USELESS !!... ...(Also, in 1999 the 'net wasn't as useful as 'tis now !) After 21 days of sharing time, and caringfor this wonderful looking and wonderfully natured 10month old GSD... there he was, in an advert in our local paper ! (Sorry if this is really boring ?!) Anyway, what had happened was that a new local school-taker had moved to this area, and on that day (during the move) he (Max the GSD) simply went "AWOL" ! - The family WERE genuine dog lovers - owned a (senior) Dalmation and had two very nice kiddies - (it was kinda strange, 'cos as we said our goodbyes, there wasn't a dry eye to be seen ?! We, (m' girlfriend n' I,) were SO happy that, well, y' know... we ALL lived happily ever-after ! Also, I approached an escaped Rottie last year... and managed to get him to trust and approach me, and happily walked him ("Tyson") and returned him to where I'd seen him escape from ! I was told by onlookers, I wasbraveinsaneorstupid ! (I know I'm not brave, so)......... Sorry everyone - (that took forever to say so little !) - apologies ! No Jayne... what I actually meant to ask (in fewer words) was taking into consideration, yes I ALWAYS carry a slip lead, and I'm very comfortable with ALL dogs...(I stupidly haven't a care or fear in the world with them... no, the fearful situation I dread, is (taking into account, that the Police 'round here, are SO disinterested about dogs)... ...WHAT should I do, if I happen to see a

Stephen - thanks for keeping a look out!! If you do see this dog again- or procedure for any lost dog. Try and catch- have handy one of lose slip over leads to make it easy. Any found dog- report to dog warden and police. If you are able to get the warden ask them to call & scan the dog- or take to a near by vets who will assist. If you are able to look after any dog found you must inform them you intend to do so. if this is scappy he is chipped. If clollar is still on it is red leather with studded silver bones . If you need further help I have sent you a pm with my contact number. CJ

Hello ! I live in EAST HAM London E6. This is the first time I've addded a comment on here, so apologies if this hasn't the "clarity" that other messages have ! About six o'clock (just now - Saturday) I've seen some , er... "kids" around 9 to 12 years old, opposite where I live, and YES, there was a cream/white Staffy with them... They really n' truly were NOT behaving, as though the dog had anything to do with them ! The kids - 3 white children (?) and a half caste child ! It seemed to me, that a dog was a kinda "novelty ?!" to them... ...running back n' forth without a lead on him, so he'd chase them, whilst the half caste kid was, I'd say, stamping his foot suddenly, so's to provoke a reaction ! By the time I'd grabbed m' keys etc, they'd gone ! My girlfriend went through the streets around here, which actually lead to a park/recreational ground ! No luck ! What I shall do, is print out some posters/whatever, and put a few around and IN the park ! In the mean-time... I damn well know, I'll be hanging of the window... ...(Wall End Rd. East Ham E6 London !) And keeping an eye out for him... ...that's a promise - You are absolutely correct in stating that he certainly DOES stand out, being white ! May I just say, ALL of the dogs (and their owners) will be in our thoughts n' prayers ! BTW - Without wishing to get your hopes up... ...In 1988, I spent EIGHT WEEKS (April 22 - June 18 1988) looking for m' beloved dog - and FOUND her ! (In Harold Wood ?!) So... ...Hang in there, eh ?! Hey Jayne... an important and serious question: What ON EARTH should one do, upon recognizing a lost dog ?! In this area - (East London !) - I've NO idea, what to do ?!: I can't really just grab a dog to check it's tag/whatever, or start asking some thick n' dangerous idiot about the dog - (and expect to walk away with my very LIFE ?!) - let alone a/the dog in question ?! It's something that's only just dawned on me really ?! Kids, that's a different

With the weekend coming up plus school holidays i am hoping that our band of wonderful helpers will be out on the streets to make Scappy known. Owners do not live in the areas he may have been taken so will be relying on as much help as we can give. There is a possibilty that Scrappy could have been given to a man who washes cars -this could be in the Hornsey area but we cannot be certain about this information. CJ

Posters need to be displayed as soon as possible on notice boards, lamp posts, entrances to parks, dog bins and on cars. Take posters to vets, pet shops, postmen (for sorting offices), milkmen, dustmen, street cleaners, taxi drivers, schools, pubs, youth clubs, newsagents, post offices, takeaways, dog training clubs, supermarkets and car parks. Hand out reduced-down posters or cards to people - especially dog walkers - and deliver to houses and businesses. Police stations, Dog Wardens, the RSPCA and all rescue centres need checking frequently and preferably visited in person by owner or someone who knows Scrappy well. Stay safe Scrappy until we find you x

The boy is obviously emotionly disturbed and need kid gloves for the right type of person to get the info of where Scrappy is from him. He maybe has him hidden away somewhere. Children like this often are looking to love something. I do hope you soon get your little dog back. Stay safe sweetie. xx

well What can I say on this one!1 just spoken to owner about this and it is a complete b**s up all round. A youth staying with foster parents near to scappy's home stole the dog from the garden. he took it back to his foster home after removing the disc on the collar. They kept the dog over night.( dont ask why or reason as i might explode in anger at their stupid lack of actions) Social services came to take the youth back to a hostel in london and took him and the dog back- no questions asked.( again why??????) arriving at the hostel- told no dogs allowed. Youth and dog run off again. youth returns minus the dog but will not say where he is. Police cannot make him tell what has happened depite all the facts. need a major poster campainge and will try to get press involved on this as well. Area is phone code 0208. Police station alerted is Hornsey N7 borough of harringate. Picture should be emailed to HQ today by son of owner.Scappy is wearing a red collar with silver bones on it. C.J.
