Liz Jones says she received more than 1,500 emails after dog Mini’s death

Liz Jones says she published a column about losing her dog, Mini, three weeks after the death. In the hours following the column’s release, she reports receiving a large volume of reader messages. She says that at 6am emails begin to arrive, and that by the afternoon the count reaches over 500. By Friday, she states the total is more than 1,500 emails and is still increasing. Jones describes the messages as coming from “wonderful readers” and says she is overwhelmed by the responses. The accounts provided focus on the timing and scale of the correspondence after the publication of her piece, rather than additional details about Mini’s death or the content of the emails. The two sources are consistent in their depiction of the sequence of events: the column is published, readers respond immediately, and the email count grows from the morning into the weekend period, surpassing 1,500.
