SIR - I would like to take this opportunity through the Sidmouth Herald to thank those kind ladies who rushed all over the place for me, to help find my run-away poodle who took off by the parish church.

They eventually found him in a cul-de-sac off Victoria Road.

I personally could not rush, but they were wonderful in helping me find him.

I cannot thank them enough for giving up their valuable time to hunt him down.

Thank you again.
