    Most folks here do post what they are doing to find owners, as a happy reunion is a good story.

    People move to another town - dog runs away - they go nuts trying to find him...many reasons why Willie could have shown up in the middle of nowhere. There are many stories sprinkled through the media about missing animals who turned up in the most unusual of ways.
    And you are doing what you do so well -- picking a fight in public.

    Why all the fuss over Willie and not Grace? You find the time to reprimand me for my comments to another, but you cannot find time to praise me for rescuing Grace and her six puppies.

    My opinion about Willie

    Hey Dan, Willie does not look like a thrown away pup to me. I was sorting hoping someone would have contacted you by now, saying that they had their dog run away...blah, blah......

    I re-read the thread and didn't see any reason for the busy-body comment. Geezzze. Lighten up down there!

    We all love our pets here...and love other's pet as well....and we worry aloud about other's pets....and I suspect that is all the folks here are doing.

    We all have gotten to know you here, and hopefully, no one is trying to make you feeling uncomfortable. We do ask questions from time to time.

    Send that Willie this way, I'll take 'em! Send his long johns as well, since the temperatures here in Vermont are dropping soon!

    Yes, no name-calling on Pet Talk. We all want what is best for the animals concerned.

    We had a pettalk member lose a pup and she is the most responsible dog owner I know, stuff happens. It tore her heart out of her while her pup was gone, hopefully willie doesn't have a suffering owner but I am sure glad you are helping him out in the interim.
    don't breed or buy while shelter dogs die....

    I have been frosted!

    Thanks Kfamr for the signature!

    Dan let me know in a PM that he has made some inquiries and calls, and so far no one has heard of anyone missing a pup.

    It is sad, but especially being found where he was, Willie may have been dumped. Dachshunds are a lot of dog in a small body, and some people get them not knowing that. Why don't people do their research? I know, good people, Pet Talkers, do.

    The picture of Grace and her pups is SO cute. Poor girl, if she had to give birth to them out in the open. What luck that you came by! She really seems to enjoy running around with the others. Let's hope that the pups in the shelter find loving homes.

    As for Willie, he is simply adorable! I believe you have done the right thing, a pup out in nowhere at 5 in the morning - what else could you do, but take him home! It may be that someone has lost him, but you would expect them to have contacted a shelter by now - and I know you have asked around.

    I doubt many would have stopped, or even noticed the pup on their way to work at 5 in the morning, and driven 10 miles back to put him in safety. So well done, Dan!

    Dan, whether Willie was lost or strayed by choice, thank you for doing the right thing by him. He is a beautiful little guy and deserves a good home

    I love the photo of Grace and Taz running along together and suspect she will see to it that he grows up to be a fine young man
