PT help needed -- found a (possibly) stray dog.

**Husky15** · 09-03-2007, 11:06 AM

Alright, so my boyfriend and his best friend were outside last night, and they found a dog walking in my boyfriend's yard and on his deck (no collar, no tags, no anything). He says it's a really nice dog, and it looks like it was just freshly washed and cleaned up.

Later today or tomorrow, he plans on calling the vet there because he lives in a small community and he said that everyone tells that vet when they're missing a dog or animal. So we're thinking it would be nice to know the breeds before this is done.

I asked him to get some pictures of the body and stuff, so here are some...

This is the one picture he gave me last night after they found her..

The dog and my boyfriend's best friend..

She's a cutie. =D

And here's a video of her walking and stuff..

Thank you!

She looks like a Finnish Lapphund apart from her ears. In that breed, they stick straight up like spitzes but hers look spanielly. Maybe a mix or something.

Thank you!

I was actually thinking a Finnish Lapphund and some type of spaniel as well, with her ears and stuff.

Ah, great minds think alike...

**Husky15** · 09-03-2007, 11:22 AM

LOL! Very true.

She does look like a mix. What a cute dog though. Hopefully you find her her owner soon.

Cocker Spaniel something mix!

**BC_MoM** · 09-03-2007, 01:19 PM

I see lots of Cocker Spaniel too!

**Husky15** · 09-03-2007, 04:45 PM

Thanks everyone! I told him Finnish Lapphund and/or spaniel mix, and I believe he called the vet a few hours ago. I'm just waiting to hear an update from him.

I agree.

UPDATE: He called the vet, now the vet knows where the dog is incase anyone calls in about it. Him and his parents are going to look after the dog for as long as they need to.

A nice PT-er suggested animal control and the SPCA, so I'll mention that to him too. But if the owner is not found, then my boyfriend MIGHT have his first doggy.

i have no idea what a finnish laphound is but I was thinking a cocker mixed with some sorta larger breed.

**jennielynn1970** · 09-03-2007, 10:34 PM

Whatever the breed is, the dog is adorable! Looks mighty happy to be found too!

**Husky15** · 09-04-2007, 02:18 PM

Well, I have another update...

He said that they went and said something about the dog at their local store, too. And one person said that they heard tell that a family was down at the beach not too far from my boyfriend's house the same night they found the dog, and that they had a dog that was black and white and they lost it. So my boyfriend and his parents tried to get in touch with them, but they had no name or anything so it was hard to.

Well, my boyfriend, best friend, his mother and I all went to town today and while we were at Dairy Queen, his father called the cellphone and said that the people from the beach found where they lived and came and got the dog. He said that they were in quite a tizzy about it and posted fliers and everything, so it's nice to know the dog is loved.

Although my boyfriend does miss her and kinda started to like her a lot, I know she's happy to be with her family again.
