There was a rescue shelter in Guernsey, and the BBC reported that this shelter has been taken a dead. cat, which turned out to not be a dead cat, but actually a cuddly dog puppet. What? It was just a sock puppet. They also got alerted about a sick seal on a beach, which turned out to be a duvet, and an injured bird on the beach, which was basically just a blonde wig.

In Hertfordshire, they handed in a herb cutter and a fondue fork.
