I am so so sorry to read this story about Tilly..... this is such a heartbreaking story I cannot bear to even think about what has happened! Gem my heart goes out to you.... I too have a chocolate labrador he looks so much like Tilly I cannot imagine (or maybe I can) what you must be going through! Tilly is at peace now but I pray the SCUM who did this are caught & severely punished.... someone knows who did this, they will tell someone I just wish that person would come forward before they do it again, God forbid!

Just so sad. Message to the yobs who did this cruel act is "simply keep looking over your shoulders"!

Meru. I wish I could get my hands on them too. Perhaps we could both get a arm, and a leg each, and keep throwing them in, getting them out, and throwing them in again. And then leave them to rot. Hope this piece of trash is found very soon. Margo. Sorry about Samxxx
Meru
Oh no how devastating. I am so very, very sorry to hear about Tilly. RIP darling, run happy and free over the Bridge beautiful sweetheart. xxxx

I wish I could get my hands on the scum responsible.

I am very sorry to hear this news, I know exactly how you feel I am welling up thinking about it and remember when we found Sam our dog 2 years ago which wasn't a nice thing. Thinking about you at this very sad time.
digbysmum
Oh no, how heartbreaking. I am in tears here. I am so very, very sorry, and my thoughts are with the family at this devastating time. May the evil scum that did this, rot in hell. Taken too soon, but run free at the bridge, beautiful Tilly, where my two labs will be waiting to play xxxx
wibble58
So desperately sorry for your loss. I feel sick to my stomach at the cruel and evil way poor Tilly was treated. Are there any security cameras about where Tilly was taken from, I hope so, and that it will bring these evil scumbags to justice. Run free now pretty Tilly. My thoughts are very much with the owners x
Ian
It is very sad to read this heartbreaking story. Tilly looks a beautiful girl. I am really sorry. X

So very sorry and angry to read such heartbreaking news. RIP beautiful Tilly unlike the inhuman b*****ds who did this. Long may they continue to keep looking over their shoulders!

So sad to read this story. This happened not far from where I live and I couldn't believe anyone could do such a thing, they are scum.
I hope Tilly is running with my Holly OTRB . My thoughts are with her owners . Xx

How very sad. I hope these evil people are caught. To steal this poor dog and do that is just cruel. My thoughts are with her owners xx

If there is a reward to find the perpetrator of this evil act, I will be happy to donate towartds it if needed. Perhaps someone will have some information which may lead to a conviction for this piece of trash. Whoever you are, I hope you never have a minutes peace.

This made me cry. So very sorry.
Unknown
I am so very, very sorry to read this. This is just tragic. I hope they catch the scum who did this soon. Personally I feel like giving them a good thrashing, and putting them in the canal. This type of individual is a pathetic, low life, cowardly scumbag. Please find comfort that one day you will meet Tilly at the bridge when the time is right. My retired friend (Spiritualist medium (Christian) tells me that these people will get their comeuppance; i hope it is soon. Also when an animal is taken in a tragic way, the owner sometimes gets a sign that the animal is okay. Tilly will be back to her healthy lively self now, and playing happily at the bridge. My friend has seen his dohg happily playing in spirit (Lost to cancer) Goodnight Tilly, sleep tight. RIP+ God blessx A~~~Candle~~~burns for Tilly. Run free Tillyx (Comforting ((((HUGS)))) to your heartbroken family. Please look down on them Tilly, as they really need your strength at this time.

Dear Gem and family, I hope you will find some comfort and strength in knowing that so many share the loss of your beloved Tilly.
When our hearts are open and filled with love there is always Light in our lives. Please believe that this cruel act was already symptomatic of undoubtedly unhappy people who will not escape continued misery as a result of their thoughts, intentions and deeds... by the Law of The Universe - what you sow, so shall you reap.
Even if they are not found and dealt with through our justice system, they will live with this on their conscience and may never know the joy of an open, love filled heart…. that is also very sad.

So so sad..so cruel i hope they find the scum that did this... rest in peace tilly...xx

Rainbow Bridge

Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.

When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge.

There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together.

There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.

All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by.
The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.

They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent; His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.

You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.

Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....

I'm so sorry to read about poor Tilly. What a tragic loss for you & I hope they catch the scum who dumped her. Hugs from a lab lover xx
Gem
I would like to say a huge thank you to everyone who has helped in the search for tilly. The RSPCA have visited this afternoon as they have found my little girls body. Tilly wasn't just a dog, she was a member of our family and will forever be irreplaceable. My thoughts goes out to anyone who is missing a member of their family and with all my heart I hope you all get a happy ending soon.

I would plead with anyone who knows anything about a chocolate lab being dumped in the canal near Red Bull traffic lights in Church Lawton to contact the RSPCA, it was reported in the Sentinel last week but they incorrectly identified the dog as a Collie. I know it is unlikely anyone on here will know anything but if you hear anything at all please try and help the RSPCA catch the scum who did this.
ClaireC
Good luck x
Gem
Thanks Angus and everyone else for your help. I can't get over to Manchester until Saturday so if anyone hears anything further on this one please let me know. I have also been contacted by someone on Facebook about a chocolate lab which has been left in Middlewich and taken to kennels. I have got to call them in the morning when they can check the paperwork - will keep you posted.
AlisonH
Thanks Sharon I have sent Tilly's owner a text alerting them to your message.

Hi, no further news. A lovely lady called me last night re a Labrador found in Manchester area with lots of numbers to call. I have tried them all today and she has been claimed by her owner.

Hi, The found 'Poppy' is chipped but her original owner rehomed her about 12 months ago, hence why it may be Poppy depending on whether her new owner renamed her. ID65872 is from the area she was found in, the lady had a lead on her owner. Think we need to go out with more posters again at the weekend as quite a lot that we put up seem to have been taken down unfortunately.
ClaireC
Dog reported on Found ID 65872
margo52
Have you give a poster to the owners of Fields Farm where all found dogs are taken
margo52
Not seen any posters down the canal. Need some there as loads of people walk along there.
Gem
Will call the Pippa lead tomorrow and see what I can find out. My partner checked the CCTV with the security guy, unfortunately in the day the cameras only focus on the exits, they become motion sensored at night so didn't see anything.
ClaireC
As a further thought you could ask Aldi to check their CCTV camera(s) to see if there is anybody on them taking your dog.
ClaireC
There is a found dog id 65824. Just not too sure what the finder is stating about it might be Pippa! However maybe worth checking out. Good luck xx
Gem
Thank you to everyone for sharing the news. We have posters up around the aldi where she was taken and have also put them at popular dog walking places around Congleton but if you are happy to put more up we would appreciate all the help we can get.

Shared again on my fb page, if owner wants posters put up in Mossley area please let me know.

I have spoken to Tilly's owner today.

Tilly went missing from outside Aldi at about 4pm on Saturday 8th Feb. she was securely tied and it is believed that she was STOLEN.

Tilly's owners have been doing all the right things, dog warden, and vets have been informed and posters are up throughout the area. Local police have been informed.

I have recommended MEDIA COVERAGE and POSTERS to try and make Tilly TOO HOT TO HANDLE.

Twitter alerts requested. x
