I am really very sad for the lady concerned, as I know she will miss Derry very much even though he was with her for only a very short time. Having fostered him, though only for a few days, my wife and I know what a lovely boy he is and how well he would have settled.

Harriet, I know how gutted you are.... I told your mum you can come and visit him and all the greyhounds at Daybreaks any time. This is always good for those of you who can't have a dog but you can make a difference to those here who haven't found a family yet.... your hug will make their day and hopefully yours too xxxx

You'll meet her in a kennells on the Coventry Road Where they love their greys and the planes fly right over. She'll walk up to you and she'll give you a wag. And if you ask for her name she'll tell you her name is Lola L.O.L.A. Lola. Well I'm not the world's most poetical sole but when you look in her eyes I know you'll fall for our Lola. L.O.L.A. Lola

Dear JT, I was as devastated as you today when you came to the kennels as I know how much you loved Derry. I am sending big hugs to you and your children as I know how much they wanted Derry and how hard it was for you to bring him back but totally understand that you need the support of all family members. Ruth xxxxx

Today I returned Derry for no other reason than my husband wouldn't come around to the idea of having a dog! In the very short time spent with Derry I found him loving, gentle and incredibly friendly. He greeted all of our visitors, both young and old, in a placid, sweet, affectionate way. He loved running around the garden but equally walked on his lead in a calm manner. I am devastated to have had to make such a difficult decision, particularly when the issue is with my husband and NOT Derry! However, Derry deserves to be with a family where ALL the family members want him as he is such an adorable dog with a warm personality. Good luck Derry in finding the perfect home and I am so sorry I have let you down. Jake, Harriet and I love you loads xxx
