You 'spotted' a stray dog, you named him 'spot' - I think that may be reversible and he probably hates it. Well done Wilko for your care - nice looking pup -wonder if those ears are up normally or it has a bit of Dane in it?

He's a beauty mind, DONT FALL IN LOVE!

 

[Wilko]

Its often said, if you want a friend get a dog. I have a terrible joke on that topic - apologies in advance - if you were to lock your dog and your other half in the van for an hour (I wouldn't do this - it's just a joke, really) who would be happy to see you when you return?
Spot Update : still passed out.

Well my day just changed with this little stray wondering in. All skin and bone, shaking and with a sore foot. Some cat food (shh - don't tell the cat) and a long drink and he's a bit more settled now. Just trying to find a Council Dog Person with chip reader now, but likely he won't be chipped.

My goodness!! What's happened to him has he found his owner?

 

[Darkwood]

How is it Louise that all your threads somehow end up with pic's of dogs in them..

 

[Lou]

Hahaha in my defence it's other people that post them!

 

[Wilko]

Hi - he's a happy young boy, fed, watered, bathed, warm and rested ( I should start a spa ! ) And still with me. I couldn't get chip-reader-guy yesterday. There's only 2 of us in the postcode so I knew Spot had either 'been left' or had walked a long way. He was exhausted when spotted, and I had to pick him up and carry him the last 100yds up to the house. A check in the next village yesterday afternoon didn't turn up anyone missing a dog, so I'm planning on waiting for chip-guy today. Spot seems to be Weimaraner/Lurcher cross I think and these are bred by some for their hunting skills. Poor boy has in the past had a severe injury to near side rear leg / hip and so can't run but can walk. So he'd be no good for hunting and I'm guessing there won't be a chip (small smile appearing) Cheers, David

 

[Lou]

Aw he's beautiful! If you take him to a vets they can scan him too. Keep us all posted, he looks grateful. It's fate!

 

[GMES]

David I can Tell you have taken to him already i hope everything works out, It's amazing how quick we take to these animals. But equally it amazes me how people can treat them so badly, for me anyone found mistreating a dog should be banned for life and serve time for it.
I was reading a post on faceache the other day and it named a country where the above is enforced, the country escapes me at the minute.

 

[Lou]

Is it China where they have that awful dog eating festival? The conditions are barbaric.

 

[Wilko]

Hi - thanks for your kind words and support. Yes mistreatment of animals just does my head in too. I'm still waiting on chip-person to contact. On line Council says 4 hr response time, but I guess they didn't say which 4 hours. If he's not chipped I'm going to ask for him. I was told the local Council will take unchipped dogs to some pound (visions of a WW2 concentration camp comes to mind, hope I'm wrong) where if no one claims them in a week or if the local dog charity can't take them, then they get put down. Well that won't be happening, oh no

 

[Lou]

Oh thats awful!! I am so glad that you found him, I am sure he will have a happy home with you guys! Fingers crossed!

Right I had better get on with some actual work!!!

That's true , Re the 7 day put down policy and I think there are a couple of well known organisations that implement it, one which may suprise some people.
I think you should have him as your Avatar for now and it may bring you both a bit of luck ( I'm soppy like that )

 

[Lou]

@Wilko whats the latest on spot?
