Walking the Dog.
You hear on the news how quite a few bodies are discovered by people out walking their dogs, indeed many's the poor victim of violence would never be found if it were not for unsuspecting dog walkers and ramblers.I remember when my Son was a young boy and we were out early one Summer's morning walking our beloved 'Shane' by the royal canal. Suddenly Shane dashed into the hedge at the field beside the canal and started to bark, I followed and discovered this chap lying completely still under the hedge, I shouted to my son to stay where he was, then I gently shook the man's shoulder. He woke up startled and I got the shock of me life, he was homeless, had drank a bottle of something and fell asleep under the hedge. I gave him a quid, went back to my son and straight home to a large brandy.
It made me wonder if anyone else here discovered anything unusual while walking their dogs.

Well not unusual but awful, Our westie had athing about Horse manure, and while on Holiday he was having a lovely time off the lead running about and there it was , just waiting for a little dog to come and rub his neck in it, and he did. We washed him in the river and he had a lovely bright yellow neck and all dog owners all laughed and said we know what he has been doing.

And it stank for weeks on them afterwards didn't it? No matter how many baths they had. With Bobby's white front that stain was a giveaway.One Sunday afternoon while walking him along the shingle beach near Poole Quay he ran ahead and in the distance I could see his four legs waving in the air. The smell got worse as we drew nearer, he had found a huge, rotting fish with all it's insides exposed and was rolling over and over in it in ecstacy.

Re: Walking the Dog.
I've found 2 bodies while walking the dog
. The first one was just 5 years ago. Taffy was only a pup then & it was the Feb Half term. I was going through the little woods at the side of the park & found a man hanging from a tree. I had to call the ambulance & send another man who had just arrived to the end of the woods to wait for them. I'm glad it was me that found the poor man & not a young child with it being half term the woods were very popular with kids on bikes ect. I had to wait with the ambulance until they had cut him down & wait for the police to come & give them a statement. It turned out he was a local man who had a history of depression. 
I was the talk of the park for quite some time after that. I still shudder a bit when I walk past the tree.
The other one was last September - this time I was second on the scene. Somebody else was just phoning the police when I got there. It was a body of a man washed up in the River Mersey. I was walking from Seacombe to New Brighton with Taffy & the tide was just coming in. When the police arrived they moved us away saying it was a crime scene. That one was horrible
He was naked, face down & had numerous deep cuts on his legs. When I was walking back to Seacombe later I asked the policeman who was still on site about him. He said he had probably been in the water about 3 weeks & the cuts were Propeller cuts off a boat. I dont know if they ever found out who he was though.I'm just hoping its not one of those things that go in threes
I'd hate to find another one.
