Hi Tony, words can not express my current emotions..I'm still in shock since receiving the phone call I thought would never happen yesterday morning. Thanks to your wonderful website, John of Gibbons Terrace phoned me yesterday morning with the great news that he had seen Paris and she was in fact hiding in one of his neighbours back gardens. I jumped in the car and met John at his home. He brought me through his home and garden into the neighbouring gardens and there she was hiding behind cement blocks. Unfortunately she was so frightened she wouldn't come out to me. John kindly reassured me that Paris was safe and couldn't get back out as the escape route was now blocked. I contacted my friends in the DSCPA for their help and within a few hours of John's call I was reunited with Paris. I would also like to thank Wayne, John's next door neighbour for allowing me and Lisa & Robbie from the DSPCA through his home to access the garden she was hiding out in. Sorry Wayne for all the muck we left behind on your nice clean floors. Thanks also to Terry for letting us track all over his garden in rescuing Paris. I would also like to take this opportunity to say a big thank to all of the businesses in Balbriggan that kindly allowed me to put my posters in their windows or on their notice boards. Thanks also to everyone who contacted me with sighting of Paris all of which were taken seriously and followed up. A special thank you to Eileen -Elegance- for sticking my poster in the shop's display window without which I wouldn't have been contacted by your good self and in turn by John.
I brought Paris to the vets in Balbriggan and she got the all clear to go home. She is very thin after her ordeal but is delighted to be home, she has been stuck to me like glue since returning home. This ordeal has strengthened my faith in people's kindness, good nature and community spirit. Thank you Tony for all your help and your brilliant website.

Both Paris and I would most of all like to thank John for making that phone call on Saturday morning without which we may never have been reunited. Kind regards Liz.

Reply from B.net. Liz, we are over the moon about this happy ending story. On behalf of Martin, Jack & Joe, may I say we are delighted to be of help.


Later this week, we will bring you a photo of Liz & Paris and perhaps John who spotted the item on the web. As Liz said, this story strengthens one's belief in people's kindness in a world that seems to be filled with hate and anger.
