A missing dog took a 100-mile taxi ride with a family of holidaymakers after he became separated from his owners. Three-year-old Cavapoo Ralph vanished while with his owner Georgia Crewe, 28, at a beauty spot yesterday morning, Monday, February 13.
But while she carried out a frantic search for her beloved pooch, Ralph went to Manchester Airport after hopping through the open door of a cab. Georgia said the driver had pulled over to pick up a family near Wrexham, North Wales, when the mischievous pooch got in.
Ralph didn't have any identification markings so the taxi driver could not contact anyone and decided that he had no choice but to take him along for the ride. After the airport drop, the driver took Ralph home to Mold, Flintshire, and went about tracking down the dog's owners.
Relieved Georgia drove to pick up Ralph just a few hours later when she received a phone call from a friend of the driver who had seen her social media appeal.
She said: “He’s never done anything like this before. And I didn’t even mind. I was quite impressed that he had the sense to jump in the cab.
“He loves people, and he’s not afraid of anybody. So he just jumped in. The cabby didn’t know what to do. He had to do an airport run. So he decided to take him with him.
“I was worried that he would try and make his way home and try and cross the road and the worst would happen.
"But he had the sense to find safety, and it’s incredible to have him back.”
