00:00 From about 8 o'clock last night till 3 o'clock this morning our volunteers were
00:06 catching,
00:09 chasing,
00:11 transporting
00:12 terrified dogs. We had a team of scanners who were out scanning dogs.
00:17 I was facilitating this till 3 o'clock this morning.
00:21 Three volunteers actually had to sleep in their cars with dogs because they had nowhere to take them.
00:29 Owners weren't answering the telephone obviously out partying.
00:32 So they had no, you know, nothing else to do but sleep in their car with those dogs.
00:40 Thankfully those dogs have now been returned
00:43 to their owners, but we still
00:47 getting missing dogs this morning. There's already been five scanned this morning.
