SIR,

Many thanks to the people who so kindly stopped to help my sister Helen, whose beautiful English Setter Poppy, was killed in an accident near to the entrance of Gibralter House on Friday 23rd December at 4pm.

Despite being on a lead, Poppy saw a bird and couldn't be stopped.

Thank you to those who not only brought my sister and her other dogs home, but also Poppy's body.

It was a sad Christmas.

Finally, a big thank you to the driver who killed Poppy, she was a big dog, you must have known.

We would love for those who stopped to help to get in touch.

If you have any details about this accident, please call 01600 715688.

Anne Beradi
