I WAS disappointed in the Bucks Free Press when I saw the misfortunes of Mr John Lowe, a good vet and kind man, blazoned across the news page of last Friday's edition in large letters.

The Bucks Free Press boasts of its reputation, and this sort of insensitive publicity of a personal tragedy does it no good.

I am sure that I am not the only person who will have felt this way.

Mr Lowe attended our house some time ago to 'put to sleep' our much loved old border collie.The memory of his sensitivity and kindness will always stay with me.
