I HOPE you will have space to print my letter as it is the only way I have to thank all those kind people who stopped their cars to avoid running over my little Jack Russell when she took fright on the canal towpath and ran into the road at Staverton last Friday around 5pm.

Thanks too to the lady with the child who tried to coax her off the road, and to the young couple to whom I was talking on the towpath and who came back to help me. No, it really was not your fault!

I'm just sorry to have interrupted your walk.

Thank you all, again.

JUDY MILES,

Marsh Road,

Hilperton.
