Cracker gives Ray a happy Christmas
CHRISTMAS disaster was averted after a missing dog called Cracker was reunited with his owner who was taken ill in Lynn town centre.
The seven-year-old went missing after Ray Taylor (68) of March, collapsed near Morrison’s last Thursday. He was taken to Lynn’s Queen Elizabeth Hospital but it was two days before he remembered Cracker had been with him.
A major search got under way, including the RSPCA, police, traffic wardens and staff from the QEH. Mr Taylor’s car, registration K900 OAP, was found in Queen Mary Road, Gaywood, on Sunday night by a taxi driver, but there was no sign of Cracker.
“Even nurses at the hospital finishing their shifts were out looking for the dog,” said regional RSPCA inspector Mr Tim Wass. The search was widened and Cracker had been found and handed over to Ocobo-Mystyle kennels at Shouldham Thorpe.
The duo were reunited on Christmas Eve. Cracker will stay at the kennels without charge until his owner is well enough to have him back again.
