SIR – May I use your letters page to pass on my gratitude to two good Samaritans.

While walking Murphy, my five-month-old Labrador puppy on Wednesday, April 23, near Saltaire Sports Association, Saltaire, he was spooked by a loud noise and pulled me over, injuring my ankle.

A passing couple walking their cocker spaniel Lily stopped to help me and looked after Murphy until help arrived. I was unable to stand and they waited patiently until my family arrived.

Recuperating with ruptured ankle ligaments, I would like to thank them for their help and kindness.

Mrs Dawn Robinson, Glenaire Drive, Baildon
