Abandoned Gabriel found in a stable
Gabriel
Stray dog found by Battersea has a festive tale

A young stray dog found taking shelter in a stable just weeks before Christmas has been festively named Gabriel by staff at Battersea Dogs and Cats Home.

The two-year-old Saluki was found by a member of the public earlier this December as he hid in a stable near Farnborough.

After being taken to the Battersea centre in Englefield Green, it was discovered Gabriel did not have a microchip and could not be traced to his former home.

Battersea's Old Windsor centre manager, Kaye Mughal, said: "It is a huge coincidence that Gabriel was found in a stable this close to Christmas, but we’re happy he has now been brought in from the cold, and there is definitely room for him in our inn.

"He is a healthy and happy boy who would suit a home with owners who have experience with the breed, and children over the age of 13 years old."

A special episode of Paul O'Grady for the Love of Dogs was aired on ITV1 at 5.15pm on Christmas Day, showing the journeys of Battersea dogs searching for new homes.
