Before you report

This diary is kept by owners and volunteers who care about the stray dogs on the estate. Reports are passed on in good faith, with no guarantee or liability that anything will be done.

1. Stray dogs only. This diary is for unowned, free-roaming dogs. Pets that have an owner are not recorded.
2. No people. Never photograph people. Photos showing a person are stopped for privacy reasons.
3. Name no one. Do not use the diary to report on residents, staff, guests or volunteers, and don't say who feeds dogs or where.
4. Not for disputes. The diary holds unverified observations for animal welfare. It is not an official record and must not be used to accuse anyone.
5. Facts, not labels. Describe what you saw, where and when.
6. Danger now? Call security first. The diary is not an emergency line.

Breaking these rules can end your access. Photos and notes that break them are removed.

Why some photos have no time or place

A photo straight from the phone's camera usually carries its date, time and place hidden inside it. Many routes remove them:

• Photos sent or saved through WhatsApp, Messenger or e-mail: time and place are removed.
• Screenshots: no place, and the time is when the screenshot was taken.
• "Take photo" inside this website on an iPhone: the place is removed.
• Location switched off for the camera: no place is ever recorded.

To keep time and place on an iPhone

• Take the picture with the normal Camera app first.
• Settings → Privacy & Security → Location Services → Camera → While Using the App, with Precise Location on.
• Here, tap the photo tile and choose Photo Library, then tap Options at the top and switch Location on before choosing the photo.

On Android

• Camera app → Settings → Location tags (or "Save location") on, then choose the photo from the gallery.

If the photo has no time or place, just tap the map and enter the time: the report is just as useful.
