A heartbroken teenager whose dog went missing has been forced to pay the council more than £200 to get him back. Darcy Jones, 17, from Stockport, Greater Manchester, was devastated when her Yorkshire terrier named Mooch vanished.
Thankfully, the lost pooch was found one day later by dog wardens, but Darcy was told she'd have to find £147.50 to bring him home. Stuck without the cash, it took Darcy and her family 12 days to gather up the money, at which point the fee had rose to £207.50. Darcy said: "I'm just so pleased to have him back, but the way we have been treated is appalling."
