Meanwhile in Shropshire

This story from the Shropshire Star has everything:

Death-row dog is saved from ruff justice

A stray dog confined to canine death row for a crime he did not commit has been spared after it was found he was simply in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Now Spot, the border collie cross who was falsely accused of sheep worrying, is looking for a new home in time for Christmas.

My only fear is that Spot may be given a home by a benevolent elderly bachelor, only to be stolen back by Bill Sykes and made to take part in a robbery.
