Scummy buggers have stolen the dog-shaped charity box from outside the RSPCA Charity Shop on Oak Street in the Northern Quarter.

There was little cash in the plastic pooch itself, but staff say a new one will cost £150.

Let's show that the NQ is full of lovely folk, and shame the scumbags that carried off the canine (sorry, I'll stop).

A couple of pounds each—less than a pint of ale in Common, a Home Sweet Home burger or a pair of socks from Oi Polloi, and you get to feel a little bit good about helping out.
