Dog-friendly restaurant in London ravaged by fox

A restaurant which welcomes dog lovers and their best four-legged friends was left with thousands of pounds worth of damage, the owner said.

Alicia Ung arrived at Pawsitive Café, in Notting Hill, on Sunday morning, to find the place so wrecked she thought there had been a break-in.

She said she and her team found “broken glass, ripped sofas and extensive damage” everywhere.

It was only when they discovered a “frightened little fox hiding at the back” that they realised what had happened.

They called the RSPCA to rescue the fox, which seemed injured from the broken glass.

Alicia said: “The cafe is my very first business and was fostered by my love of my best friend, Domino the Dalmatian Dog, and having to build it from scratch, the cafe meant the world to me.

“Pawsitive Cafe is my baby, and it saddened me deeply to see how it came down to this.

“Nonetheless, I always believe that everything happens for a reason, and I'm choosing to view this incident as a blessing in disguise.

“I am incredibly grateful for all the love and support everyone has been sending to me and my team. We are working hard to re-open to the public as soon as possible.”

Alicia posted about the incident on social media, where her “loyal community of canine-loving customers” showered her with support.

She received hundreds of messages with some sending her cakes and others even offering to donate money so the café could reopen again.
