We saw a ever so tiny toy poodle puppy/dog running from garden to garden a few months back and then he/she took to the street. We didn't even know if it had escaped or was left to it's own devices

I'm probably guessing not the latter as he looked quite distressed. As it was small they lost track of it easily as it kept darting under the hedges the warden couldn't find it and the last we saw of it was when it darted around a corner of a road I was hopeful that he managed to find his way back home though....
