Missing Dog Takes A 161 km Taxi Ride After Disappearing On A Walk

The three-year-old Cavapoo named Ralph vanished while on a walk with its owner

A pet dog in the UK had quite an adventurous day after it got separated from its owners on a walk and was taken on a 100-mile (161km) round trip to Manchester airport. According to a BBC report, a three-year-old Cavapoo named Ralph vanished while its owner Georgia Crewe was chatting with a fellow dog walker on Monday morning.

While she frantically searched for her pooch, little did she know that her dog had hopped onto a cab which was destined for Manchester airport.

"It turned out that he'd left the quarry and gone back to the road in the direction of home. A taxi had pulled up to pick up a family who were heading on their holidays. It was cold, and Ralph just jumped into the cab," Georgia Crewe told BBC.

The taxi driver could not contact anyone as Ralph had no identification markings. So, he decided to take it along for the long ride. After he dropped off the passengers at the airport, he took Ralph home and went about tracking down the dog's owners.

Meanwhile, the dog's owner posted news of Ralph's disappearance on Facebook with pictures and its last known location, appealing for help.

Thankfully, she soon received a phone call from a friend of the driver who had seen her social media appeal. The woman named Becky informed her that the dog had been on a 100-mile round trip to Manchester Airport in her friend's taxi.

She immediately drove over to the taxi driver's home and got Ralph back home by 10 am the same morning. Ms Crewe has now decided to get a geolocation tag, flashing light and ID disc for her dog in case it attempts a similar adventure.

Ms. Crewe told Manchester Evening News, "He's never done anything like this before. And I didn't even mind. I was quite impressed that he had the sense to jump in the cab. He loves people, and he's not afraid of anybody. So he just jumped in. The cabby didn't know what to do. He had to do an airport run. So he decided to take him with him. I was worried that he would try and make his way home and try and cross the road and the worst would happen. But he had the sense to find safety, and it's incredible to have him back."

Barcelona Coach Xavi Banned For Two Games For Red Card In Season Opener

File image of Xavi Hernandez © AFP Barcelona coach Xavi Hernandez will serve a two-match suspension after being sent off in his team's La Liga season opener against Getafe, it was announced Wednesday. Xavi was punished for his touchline behaviour during Sunday's 0-0 draw at Getafe, in which Barcelona winger Raphinha also received a red card in the first half for elbowing an opponent. Former Barcelona midfielder Xavi was dismissed with 20 minutes to play after leaving his technical area to remonstrate with the fourth official over a refereeing decision. Referee Cesar Soto Grado said in his report that he had already warned Xavi, who was critical of the officiating in his post-match press conference. Xavi and Raphinha will both miss Sunday's game against Cadiz and the trip to Villarreal on August 27.
