GSD SAVED FROM DROWNING BUT HOW DID HE GET THERE? | St Anne's, Lancashire: dog rescued from Fairhaven Lake after clinging to a wooden structure for safety overnight.

The German Shepherd was spotted clinging for dear life on the banks of the lake early this morning (March 25). Police in the area rushed to saved the stricken dog, along with Lancashire Fire and Rescue Service, and help from members of the public.

The dog is said to be safe and well and has been handed over to the local RSPCA. He is being cared for by The Veterinary Health Centre and the owner of the dog will need to provide proof that he belongs to them.

Police say they will also be conducting enquiries around the lake in an attempt to try and trace the owner of the dog. They have launched an appeal for information.

A spokesperson for Police said: "We are aware of the incident circulating on social media about a dog that was stuck in the water at Fairhaven Lake this morning and had been in the water all night.

"We can confirm that the dog was rescued by our colleagues from Lancs Fire & Rescue along with several members of the public which was a fantastic result.

"The dog is now safe and well and in the hands of the local RSPCA. We will be conducting CCTV enquiries around the lake to see if we can trace the owner of this dog.

"Were you in the area? Did you see anything? Is this your dog? If so, can you please report it online or by calling 101 and quoting log number 0243 of today’s date. Thank you for everyone’s efforts."

PUPPY FARM RAID | A dog with a suspected broken leg was one of several animals seized during a morning raid in eastern .

South Yorkshire Police and RSPCA officers entered a property in Prince of Wales Road shortly before 10am today, March 30.

A dog was found on a short lead in the garden with officers suspecting the animal had a broken leg. The inspector said "it's one of the worst she's ever seen".

Five adult dogs and two puppies (pictured) were checked over and the home searched while officers guarded the small terraced house.

Police have confirmed a person has been arrested.

Benn Kemp, South Yorkshire Police's Superintendent for Neighbourhoods and Partnerships, told Yorkshire Live: "We executed a warrant in the Darnall area where we’ve uncovered a puppy farm, which was breeding Caucasian Shepherds. Unfortunately, the RSPCA described the conditions as some of the most squalid that they have found dogs living in.

"We have arrested one offender from that farm. We have also dealt with another offender for dangerous driving at the scene."

The raid in Prince of Wales Road was carried out as part of Operation Duxford which aims to crack down on criminal behaviour and provide reassurance to law-abiding citizens.

Around 400 officers are out in force across various locations in Sheffield today.

We're disappointed to hear that the RSPCA will not be prosecuting anyone for the killing of a 10-year-old springer spaniel named Buster (pictured) whose bloodied body was discovered on 2 February by a dog walker in , Somerset. A post-mortem confirmed that Buster had been shot dead with no evidence of other injuries. This is despite initial reports suggesting that the dog had been bludgeoned before being shot.

A spokesperson for the RSPCA said: “We’re deeply saddened by this horrific and gruesome discovery and are grateful for everyone who has supported investigations.

“The dog’s body was taken for a post mortem at an independent specialist vet who found he had been shot, with no evidence of any other injuries.

“Under the Animal Welfare Act 2006, it is an offence for anyone to cause an animal unnecessary suffering.

“As a charity which investigates animal cruelty, we rely on evidence from examinations and tests conducted by veterinary professionals. In this instance, the veterinary professionals concluded the dog had not suffered unnecessarily.

“While we absolutely do not condone anyone killing a dog in this way, and sympathise with all those distressed by this incident, our officers must always operate within the confines of the law. If a dog needs to be put to sleep then a qualified vet is the right person to euthanise an animal humanely and painlessly.

“We will continue to liaise with authorities to assist with any further enquiries.”

The woman who found the dog is reportedly disputing the finding that he had no other injuries, died quickly or pain free and is calling on the RSPCA and the police to investigate further.

It has also been reported that the dog had been found and taken to a vet in Wells not long before the grim discovery, with claims that it may have been a failed attempt to abandon the dog. As he was microchipped, the owners David Phillips and Sophie Eames from , near (pictured), were traced and the dog returned.

Although bloodsports fanatic Phillips owns a shotgun, he denies responsibility for Buster's death and claims he gave him away.

Now, locals are holding a peaceful vigil where Buster's body was found – to show compassion for the animal and to send a message that actions of this kind are not acceptable.

Shine a Light for Buster will take place on Sunday, 6th March at 6 pm at the top of Haydon Hill.
