It was 4am and, as tears streamed down her face, Laura Wolfe clutched the dog as tightly as she could. A night-long search had led to the pair being reunited, but the canine was not hers – it belonged to a client, who, having recently switched jobs, had to work abroad immediately.
He was a Premier League footballer on a pre-season tour. Upon her son noticing the dog’s absence the previous evening, Wolfe sprang into action.
At 11pm she was printing posters to attach to lampposts. Drones were launched. “I had to tell the player because I needed to know the right words in the language the dog recognised,” she said.
