Last night (Tuesday 6th October) officers from West Midlands Police reunited missing dog Millie with her owner’s thanks to the power of ‘WMNow’ – a free local messaging service.
Millie, an English Bull Terrier, was spotted by officers on the Lichfield Road in Walsall Wood, walking around without a collar with no leash or harness.
She was taken to a veterinary hospital in Lichfield. At the same time, local neighbourhood officers quickly sent out photos of her on WMNow and on Twitter in the hope of being able to reunite her with her owners.
Fortunately, within hours of officer sending out the alert, Millie was reunited with her grateful owners.
WMNow is a free community messaging system that delivers up to date information from West Midlands Police and their partners direct to your inbox.
The service also provides updates on local crimes (West Midlands Police area), to local news, appeals and safety advice.
Anyone who is interested in finding out more about what is happening in their area can sign up to WMNow community messaging service at www.wmnow.co.uk or follow them on Twitter @WalsallPolice

Our mission is simple: To share fact-based stories about the emergency services and the life-saving work they do daily. Each member of our team has served in either the armed forces or emergency services.
We use our frontline experiences to help inform the general public about the realities of serving in the emergency services, armed forces and NHS.
But with ad income declining – owing to the pandemic – we need the help of our readers and supporters so that we can keep bringing you fact-based stories which are free from the ‘anti’ narrative which is often projected by some sections of the mainstream media.

We would like to thank you in advance for your continued support.
Before you go...
We need your help. As former emergency services & armed forces personnel, we pride ourselves on bringing you important, fast-moving and breaking news stories which are free from the negative bias which is often directed at the emergency services by some sections of the mainstream media.
One of the reasons we started 'Emergency Services News' was because we became tired of reading badly informed stories about the emergency services which seemed only ever to highlight negative aspects of the job.
We want to be the unheard voice of the remarkable men and women who serve in the emergency services, NHS and armed forces. And with around 500k page views each month, we are getting there!
As income from ads, the mainstay source of income for most publishers, continues to decline; we need the help of our readers.
And remember, if you have a service, product or job vacancy that you would like to promote to our large readership, then you can buy advertising space in our articles.
You can support emergency services news from as little as £1. It only takes a minute. Every contribution, however big or small, is vital for our future.
Please help us to continue to highlight the life-saving work of the emergency services, NHS and armed forces by becoming a supporter.
