Dog-Napping – How To Prevent It

Having your canine companion dog-napped would be a horrendous ordeal. Sadly this crime is on the increase. A petition calling on the Government to make dog theft a specific offence had gathered over 316,500 signatures meaning it is well over the threshold to be considered for debate in parliament.

Around 29,000 people across the South West have contributed their signature to the cause. There are measures you can take to reduce the risk of this happening to you.

The Rev. Frederick Vaughan [1829-1911]

This is the Rev. Frederick Vaughan who lived in Broadwindsor 1869 – 1884.
His great, great granddaughter is keen for more information.

In Broadwindsor, Frederick had charge of a group of three chapels.  Preaching three times and walking six miles each Sunday.  His evenings through the week were occupied with services in each place, bands of hope and singing classes.  He became Secretary of Dorset Southern Counties Temperance Association and organised Temperance missions in all the chief towns of Dorset and the three bordering counties.  He travelled all over the district organising Temperance societies and missions. Each year he trained a choir of five hundred voices to sing in the annual fete.
