I was talking to the Epping Forest District Council dog warden last night and they have just found a brindle bitch in Toot Hill (near Epping). They think she was spotted running around Loughton over Christmas and at the moment the person who picked her up is looking after her. She was wearing a tatty collar which was held together with string. The details I have are a bit sketchy but if you pm me I can put you in touch with the dog warden.
