Visitors to a beachside town were left in tears after noticing a touching gesture from someone whose dog had just passed away. People were being invited to help themselves to a free ball on Exmouth beach in Devon.
The do-gooder explained in a note that they'd recently lost the "goodest of good boys" and his favourite place had been Exmouth Beach where he enjoyed playing with his ball.
Along with the note was a large box filled with tennis balls. The note read: "Rex loved the beach, Rex loved the ball. Please feel free to take a ball for your dog and I hope you all enjoy this place as much as we did."
