About ten minutes ago I had a phone call from the police officer who's dealing with the case. She's got four days leave coming up and just wanted to catch up. She's now interviewed two of the three witnesses and is due to speak to the third after her leave. The CCTV footage is going to be checked tomorrow. She has had a further report from the vet. As regards Joy's and my Victim statement she wants me to keep a note of any post traumatic stress we may be feeling, such as anxiety about walking in certain areas and whether as a result of our experience I have to do any extra work with Joy to restore her confidence, or have to seek professional help/advice about this.
I have to say I am very impressed and pleased by the way in which she's dealing with this. I somehow hadn't expected this level of care and attention.
Perhaps it's because she somehow knows Joy's special !
