Little Jack had something wrong with his eye so Ali got him an emergency appointment at the vets.
Due to the lockdown restrictions, Ali had to stay in the car while Jack was taken to be examined.
The vet quickly confirmed her suspicions that Jack was not a Pomeranian, was probably not seven months old and his vaccination card was false.
Jack went back home with Ali with some cream for his eye, but through the night quickly went downhill.
She said: "I took him back to the vets the next morning and never saw him again.

Paula Boyden, Dogs Trust’s veterinary director, said: "It is absolutely heartbreaking that we continue to see dogs being illegally imported into the country, often in terrible conditions to make huge profits for cruel puppy smugglers.
"We might be in the midst of a pandemic, but these devious sellers will still use every trick in the book to scam unsuspecting dog lovers.
"Sadly, it’s all too easy to be dogfished and it can be very difficult to know if you are buying a puppy that has been smuggled. We would advise you to always see a puppy with and interacting with their mum and go and see it more than once.
"Ask lots of questions, and ask to see vital paperwork, such as a puppy contract. If you have any doubts or it feels too good to be true, as hard as it may be, walk away and report the seller."
A Gumtree spokeswoman said: "We were saddened to hear about Ali’s distressing experience, as we take the welfare of animals very seriously and want all our customers to have a positive experience when using Gumtree.
"We work hard to deter unscrupulous operators through our compulsory paywall and encourage anyone thinking of welcoming a puppy or kitten into their family to familiarise themselves with advice from PAAG on how to buy pets safely and responsibly.
"We always recommend customers report any issues they encounter with pet adverts to Gumtree, as Ali did, or to contact the RSPCA directly, so that our dedicated safety team can investigate and take actions where necessary – in this instance, blacklisting the offender from our site."


thedailymirror--2020-07-21--Russia report warns of Lords' links to Moscow - but government fails to act

The government today failed to act over warnings about links between the House of Lords and Russia .
Today 's long-awaited Russia report said `` a number of '' peers have business interests in the county - or work directly for firms `` linked to the Russian state '' .
And it called for reforms to how peers ' financial interests are declared - suggesting they declare every financial payment they receive over £100 .
But Number 10 failed to commit to tightening up donation rules for the House of Lords .
Instead , the Government said it was up @ @ @ @ @ @ @ make the rules on donations .
The long-awaited Russia report was finally published by Parliament 's Intelligence and Security Committee , outlining the scale of Kremlin meddling in the UK .
Today 's report also warns `` several members of the Russian elite who are closely linked to Putin '' are involved in UK charitable and political bodies .
This includes donating to UK political parties , the report says .
That includes people with `` a public profile which positions them to assist Russian influence operations . ''
It adds : `` @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and business are completely intertwined . ''
While the report does not single out individuals or one party , the Tories have previously come under scrutiny after receiving millions in donations from people from Russia .
The Conservative Party has previously rejected any suggestion of wrongdoing , saying all donations comply with the law .
The report said a 1994 UK investor scheme HAD allowed illicit Russian finance to be recycled through `` the London 'laundromat ' . ''
It added : `` The money was also invested in extending patronage and building @ @ @ @ @ @ @ British establishment .
`` PR firms , charities , political interests , academia and cultural institutions were all willing beneficiaries of Russian money , contributing to a 'reputation laundering ' process .
`` In brief , Russian influence in the UK is 'the new normal ' .
`` There are a lot of Russians with very close links to Putin who are well integrated into the UK business and social scene , and accepted because of their wealth .
`` This level of integration - in 'Londongrad ' in particular - means that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Government are not preventative but rather constitute damage limitation . ''
On the House of Lords specifically , the report says : `` It is notable that a number of Members of the House of Lords have business interests linked to Russia , or work directly for major Russian companies linked to the Russian state .
`` These relationships should be carefully scrutinised , given the potential for the Russian state to exploit them . ''
The report recommended tougher transparency rules so peers ' links to Russia can be properly scrutinised .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ to declare any individual payments over £100 - as MPs have to do already .
But the government response said such change would be a matter for Parliament itself .
The response reads : `` The Government is confident that the Conduct Committee with ( sic ) give due consideration to the recommendations . ''
It adds : `` The Government agrees that the transparency of information about political donations is important . ''

Downing Street failed to commit to tightening up the rules on peers' financial interests after a report revealed the extent of Russian influence in the UK
Russia report warns of Lords' links to Moscow - but government fails to act
The government today failed to act over warnings about links between the House of Lords and Russia.
Today's long-awaited Russia report said "a number of" peers have business interests in the county - or work directly for firms "linked to the Russian state".
And it called for reforms to how peers' financial interests are declared - suggesting they declare every financial payment they receive over £100.

Michael said : `` I was being asked to find and contact witnesses but it was n't my job , I 'm not a police officer .

Michael, Robert and David insist their mother was afraid of water and would never have gone near the sea in the dark.

Ex-Chief of Police Vosilis Verykokidis told the brothers that 12mg of alcohol had been found in their mother's blood stream and that she could have become dizzy and fallen into the water.
But Jean's sons remained convinced their mum's death was no accident.
Delving deeper into her diary there were several mentions of a man called Nikos in the days running up to her death.
He had asked her out for dinner, which she refused, and on another occassion he wanted to come round and she again said no.
Then in December 2009, nine months after Jean's tragic death, a second post-mortem report was released by the coroner.
In it he said she had also suffered a broken neck, a shattered cocyx and other bruises.

The closed case was now re-opened with Vosilis Verykokidis insisting he had six officers working on it day and night.
Two suspects were brought in for questioning, with one even creating a false alibi.
They were both released without charge and the case closed, with officers insistent that Jean's death had been nothing more than a tragic accident.
But her sons refused to give up, constantly keeping their mother's story in the news and even meeting the Greek ambassador.
Six years after her death the case was re-opened and passed to a dedicated homicide squad.
Michael said: "I was being asked to find and contact witnesses but it wasn't my job, I'm not a police officer.
"It didn't give me confidence that they were taking it seriously."
Heartbreakingly, after just a few months, police once again concluded Jean's death had been an accident and closed the case.
Vosilis Verykokidis said: "There was no piece of evidence that wasn't used and there was no evidence of foul play.
"I believe whatever happened, that it happened unintentionally."
More than 10 years after their mother's death her sons are refusing to give up their fight to find out what really happened on that evening in March.
Michael said: "People have suggested we have got to get on with life but our mum was our life and you can't just turn that off."

On Monday, British Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab told parliament the extradition treaty would be suspended immediately and an arms embargo would be extended to Hong Kong.
"We will not consider re-activating those arrangements, unless and until there are clear and robust safeguards, which are able to prevent extradition from the UK being misused under the new national security legislation," Mr Raab said.

He added: "China urges the UK to give up its fantasies of continuing colonial influence in Hong Kong and immediately correct its mistakes," he said.

KFC to create world's first 3D printed chicken nuggets from plants and poultry cells
Fast-food giant KFC is currently developing the world’s first lab-grown chicken nuggets made from real animal cells.
The first-of-a-kind nuggets are being dubbed the "Meat of the Future" with the first batch for sampling expected to be ready by autumn 2020.
Foods such as Quorn nuggets are already grown in lab-type conditions but this would mark the first time it's been made using real poultry.
The venture with Russian biotechnology company 3D Printing Solutions, aims to create the world’s first lab-grown chicken nuggets made from real animal cells and plant-based ingredients.
KFC said the move will help it become the "restaurant of the future".
It said it will provide bread, spices and other ingredients to match the restaurant’s "signature" flavour.

The fast food chain added that its "biomeat" will remove the additives used in traditional farming and create a "cleaner final product".
It said that the lab-grown meat will also cut down on energy consumption and harm to animals.
The process is also more ethical than factory farming as lab-grown meat production is slaughter-free. However, because the product is based on animal tissues, it is not vegetarian.
