A woman who rescued her dog from Ukraine says the pooch has been seized by officials. Sarah-Louise Heslop brought her dog Bailey over from the heavily-bombed city of Lviv through Staffordshire-based animal charity Paws Help UK.
Sarah-Louise got him home on March 20 and while he was timid, over the next week he was getting used to his new surroundings. However, just as he was beginning to settle, there was a knock on the door.
The marketing manager, 49, says officials sent on behalf of the Department for Food, Agriculture and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) were at her doorstep explaining they needed to seize Bailey. Talking to Cheshire Live, she shared that the officials said they had to take him into quarantine.
