Hubby found an injured dog yesterday....

I am afraid if i took on Jed, i would probably end up living in the caravan as well, no i am at my limit , i took on two extra kitties and that has been a financial struggle but we are just coping, sadly doggies cost a lot more, and i just don't have it, i will endeavour to do the utmost best for him don't worry,so keep those fingers and paws all crossed for a happy outcome, i have advertised him in the paper, online on three sites and left details at the SPCA, will put flyers up around the area as well, so surely someone will recognise him or want him for their own, here's hoping ,just got to think real positive.

GREAT NEWS folks I found the dogs owner tonight, he is named Spot and is 14 yrs old , he had rang the SPCA who rang me ,it turns out he lived just around the corner from us and had recently shifted, Spot had been walking at least two days, he has had him since he was a puppy, he belonged to a young Japanese man, who said his wife was pregnant and he was a bit jealous, and unsettled from the shift, i gave him strict instructions on his care and told him to go back to the vets if he did not get better.

He was pretty happy almost cuddled me and my husband, so all in all this is a great ending,i have his phone number so will ring in a few days see if he is better, he said he had a collar and was registered, so maybe he slipped out of it, which is highly possible, poor old guy was trying to come back home, i told him make sure he does not get away again, as he nearly died and would not make it a second time, no wonder his feet were cut up and he was so exhausted, he was an old guy, going a long way, the owner said he did not have a problem normally with his back legs, i do suspect he has arthritis though, from his age etc.

I cannot quite believe it, i have to pinch myself, how lucky is this, he certainly did recognise his owner , he even got up on his wobbly legs for him wagging his tail.

Aw, way to go! I love hearing happy endings!! I sure hope his owner will make sure it doesn't happen again to this poor old fellar and gets those legs checked out!

Yes well one never knows, sure he said all the right things, but i have my doubts, still one has to have faith, pity he had not been healed properly before he left as i would have made sure he got the best of care,still i guess he has had spot since a puppy for 14 yrs and even though he was a bit on the thin side, he was old and that can happen to some dogs i am told, I told him to make sure his claws were clipped, of course he listened and agreed to do everything i asked, but one can only hope,you can only do so much in the long run.

Good on you, Carole!

I'm glad he's back home. I hope they spend some extra time with him. He is running out of years.

The second picture looks exactly like my Samson. He's about 14 too, and a German Shepherd mix. I'm trying to let him know he's special and I make allowances for his age. Some day I'll be old and I'd like to think I'll be cared for in return.

Yipppeee for you and Spot!
Oh I have LES!!
That was such a happy happy ending!
And Spot's story had a happy ending all because of YOU!!
Many many hugs to your hubby for stopping and saving this old timer!
Hugs to you for caring for him!
Hugs all around!!

Despite financial burdens, your sweet, loving heart took over and you did a noble deed, my friend. You were rewarded with a happy ending. It doesn't get much better than that!!!
