Anyone lost or know anyone who's lost a black dog. Found on its own down by river hyndburn near rishton waterfalls, no collar on. Will try and upload a pic.

Unfortunately, I've had to leave him at the stray dogs in need kennels in Ossy, just no room at home for another dog.

I thought this thread was about a pub.

Is it a dog or a bitch? Hope the owner gets reunited with their dog.

I hope the little dog is soon back home.....where it belongs.

What a shame somebody must be looking for him

westendlass · 07-12-2014, 12:26

He looks a lovely little chap, I hope he's soon home.

AccyMad · 07-12-2014, 18:11

Ah bless, hope he's reunited with his family soon

i think its best to take it to the lost dogs home as they will hopefully make sure they can prove they are the owner and not someone wanting it for horrible reasons

its a pitty they dont make microchipping dogs compulsary it would work better and faster than the old dog licence and get dogs back to tehir owners faster

Compulsory microchipping is coming in.

Only helps reunite if the dog is found alive and taken to vet/dog home, as in this case.

Not much good if it's been stolen.

(Not a nice story. Avoid reading it if you're a dog lover and don't want your day to be spoiled.)

Dog thieves are getting wise to the microchip. They do their own scan, and if a chip is found, they kill the dog and cut out the chip.

When we had our dogs chipped, I don't recall the vet scanning them first to see if there was a chip already there. What happens with the scan if "new" owners put a second chip in there?
