THIS LITTLE ADVENTURER HAS FOUND HIS OWNERS! Thank you everyone for sharing this post.

Well... this is awkward. 😅

I took myself on an unscheduled adventure, and now Council insists I can't leave without my owner.

If you've been wondering why the house is so quiet... mystery solved!

📍 I'm waiting at the District Council of Peterborough.
☎️ Please come and bail me out!
