An investigation has been launched after three dogs died and up to seven more became ill after drinking from a lake. A spokesman said: “It is believed they [the dogs] got into the lake and drank from it. Kent police have cordoned off parts of Brooklands Lake, near Powder Mill Lane in Dartford, after a dog walker said that three of her animals became ill and died. It is likely that parts of the lake will be closed to pedestrians and dog walkers until the results are known. A spokesman said: “The testing is taking place following reports of dogs being taken ill in the area.
