Poole Harbour oil leak

Pictured: Stephen Glover and partner Debbie Haughton with their dog Stella

On the other side of the south coast harbour oily puddles have appeared on the shoreline by Hamworthy Park along with blobs of a black tar-like substance.

The owners of a Staffordshire Bull Terrier dog believe their pet was left with badly swollen paws after coming into contact with the pollution yesterday (Sun).

Stephen Glover, the owner of Stella the dog, described smelling a 'stink of oil' similar to a petrol station forecourt before his pet emerged from the water with blackened feet.

Mr Glover, a company director, and partner Debbie Haughton took Stella home and cleaned her up but he said the grease-like substance was very difficult to get off her paws.
