The Incident and Initial Recovery
On December 2, 2023, Mabel, a Cavalier King Charles spaniel, and her four cavapoo puppies were stolen from a property in Coney Weston, Suffolk. The family, led by Alisha Clack and her mother, faced a distressing situation as Mabel was found alone in a garden in Wouldham, Kent, while two of her puppies were located in Sidcup, London. The search for the remaining two puppies continues.
Breakthrough in the Search
The recovery of two puppies occurred on December 3, when they were discovered "wet and cold" by the side of a dual carriageway in Sidcup. A gentleman walking his dog found them and alerted a family who had seen a social media post about the missing dogs. This post had garnered significant attention, being shared over 7,500 times.
