I seen a Lurcher today in Ashton -u-Lyne loose.It looked like Deerhound/Whippet maybe.It was around lunchtime and was trotting in the middle of the road.I attempted to coax it to come to me, but it was very timid.I returned to my car to get a lead and some food but lost it and drove around for nearly an hour looking for it , but never seen it again.I've contacted the Police and Wardens to let them know.It was in the Hurst Cross area of A-U-L.I hope it is safe and well and was only a temporary escape.
