Chorlton man's moving open letter sparks heartwarming response from neighbours A pensioner who sent a heart-warming letter to his neighbours asking if could meet anyone with pet dogs and join them on walks admitted their response "far exceeded" his expectations.
Thanking all the people who left kind messages and have offered to spend time with him, David said: "I’d like to thank also the extraordinary number of people who “liked” or commented on the FB post or the piece in the paper.
In the heart-breaking letter, the former professor of ancident history confessed to missing "canine contact" after previously looking after rescue dogs with his late wife.
She came across David's note on Facebook like hundreds of others and decided to reach out to him and meet at a local cafe in Chorlton.
According to David, he has met five dogs already with more meets lined up for the next week.
