I was minding a liitle dog for friends for the weekend. She normally sleeps with his owner. She wouldn’t go with me the first night. I had blocked one door open because she is used to a doggy door. I missed her during the night when I got up to go to the toilet. I search the whole large back yard twice with a torch calling her name. Then went into the carpot and discovered she had dug away the gravel at the gates at the verandah. I reckon she got out to look for her owner – sniffed where his vehicle had been parked, then went for a walk. Can you imagine walking abround your yard and out in the street calling a dog’s name at about 2.45 in the morning? I expected neighbours to come out and complain. She finally appeared in the gateway of a neighbour’s house. Glad I didn’t have to chase her because it was the middle of winter and I had pjs and dressing gown on. Next night she got up on my bed. When I pulled the sheets back to climb into bed, she was in it before I was. Her own said she would want to sleep with me. Then I remembered she slept with him if he took her with him. She has a short “coat” and felt the cold in the vehicle when the heating wasn’t on. Very affectionate loyal dog and barked if anybody went near vehicles – even friends.

scary when your dog disappears

What a relief! So glad you had a happy ending to your ordeal.

Naughty puppy! You’re lucky to have found her, as you say,ms he could have been snatched or even run over. Fix that fence!!!

I’m glad you got her back and all was ok! Puppies are like toddlers; if all is quite you should be very suspicious!

lucky your neighbour is nice and brought your dog back

There is nothing worse than that panicked feeling of loosing a child or pet … lol

the story is exellent

good story

Glad you got your puppy back

Lol that is funny but no, so pleased there was a great out cime

rascals they can be. Lucky for the outcome, some are not so lucky.

It’s so nice to see your child bond with a pet, but yes I bet it made you heart drop and then you started thinking what were you going to tell your daughter !!!
I know I did when my sons pet chicken died, I think she was more like a dog than a chicken followed him everywhere.
Glad you found her again

I am so happy you got your doggy back and they do like to scare you at times with their naughty little antics they get up to.

Nothing worse….so glad that cheeky puppy is back!

Last week I went to take the bins out for weekly rubbish collection. The dog was in the back-yard, chewing on a bone. When I returned through the back gate, I couldn’t see the dog anywhere. I looked all around the garden, both sides of the house, even inside the house. I felt sick to the pit of my stomach, and thought I must have accidentally let the dog out when I put the bins out. I looked in the front yard, up and down the street, you name it, I looked. Fearing the worst, I went to go in the back door to get my car keys, so I could drive around looking for the dog. As I walked past the dog’s kennel, the dog popped his nose out of the kennel. Did I ever feel a fool, as it was the only place I hadn’t looked. But so very relieved.

Oh so glad your puppy was safe, animals are part of the family

Glad you got your puppy back. The people that steal dogs are despicable.

I’m so glad that you were able to get your puppy back

Glad you got your dog back – it is amazing how fast they become part of the family
