We've got her back.

We got our first ever doggie last year and so far, she hasn't gone missing just yet (knock on wood and everything else!). I am glad you've found your precious little doggie. I don't know how I would be if I lost this little lady I have here next to me.

Hello, Saundyl! I am glad you could get your dog back. Sometimes, a pet means so much to us! It is like if they were a family member for us. The consideration, the affection we have for it might be as strong as the affection we feel for a human. How have you thanked the person who returned the dog? Did you pay him/her or something like that? Or did you return the favor by doing something to help that person? I had a dog before this one. He used to love going on the streets alone. My family never allowed our animals to run freely in the streets, since it is unethical if the animal starts dirtying the places around. Therefore, the only time he had to go to the street alone was when he escaped. But I always chased him while he was running and managed to get him back (he was small, so he couldn't run as fast as I do). One day, though, he escaped. I was around 10 years old by that time. I got desperate, because I didn't see which direction he took. My mother told me to wait until my father came home, and we'd look for the dog with our car. And we waited. When my father arrived, he took me to a tour in the neighbor, looking for the dog. We looked everywhere near our house. We went a little bit far too, but we found no traces. I got really sad. When I came home, it was already night. I started crying helplessly. I believe I never cried so much in my life like on that day. I cried all my tears out, and I cried, and cried... And I tried to keep me busy by playing video game, but I kept on crying the whole night. The morning after, I woke up and went with my mother to search for the dog. We looked, looked and nothing. Oh, that was sad. I couldn't believe I had lost my best friend. That dog meant so much to me! How I loved the little old fella. We didn't find a trace, and I was pretty sad. I was sad the entire day. It was like if I couldn't smile nor anything. On the next day, I went looking with my mother too. We couldn't find anything. We were returning, and when we looked to the avenue, there was a large amount of dogs running. And there he was, following other dogs! The old fella was there, chasing another dogs and being with them. I felt so happy to have finally found him, but my mother was saying pretty bad words about him: "While we are looking for him, that mother***ker is there, enjoying his time". We took him home. I finally was happy again. I don't know if we should have taken him home, he was so happy. But we did. Wow, what a story. How many memories! Unfortunately, a few years later we went to a vet and asked him to kill our dog. He was ill and blind, deaf, could barely stand and had a tumor. We would suffer if he kept on living. =/ Respectfully, Munhozmib.

I am so glad you found here. I was worried thinking of a little dog lost in the snow. It is so good to know she is safe and ok. I wonder if the truck scared her and when she ran away from that she got lost. It is very easy to get lost in snow as everything looks the same.

thank goodness!! well if you have land i think it would be ok to let them run loose.. if they are out door animals and like it and want to be outdoors all the time.. i think it wouldn't be right to tie them up if there was no danger and they have plenty of room..

I'm so happy you got your dog back. Its so sad and scary when they disappear. When I was a little girl I had a dog who was an escape artist, so she often went wandering. Well one night she didn't come home, next night either. We were so worried. Finally our vet called and said someone had turned her in. Their story was that they said they accidentally hit her with their car (which the vet said was untrue) and they thought they would bring her in for treatment since the vet's ID tag was on her collar. It seems they thought they could keep her for themselves, and then later felt guilty over it and turned her in.

Awe I am so happy to hear that you got your dog back. Yes I remember when my dog Sundance was lost. We looked for days for her, then finally she was found. I was just a child at this time and I was so happy I cried for two days. I loved that dog.

Saundyl I am glad that you got your little dog back. I hope that you have put her on a lead now! :) I hope that it serves a lesson to every one of us here. I hate the idea that owners keep their dogs wondering about even if it is a safe area. A dog might get lost or else chew a plant which an be poisonous to him. © ronaldinu 2008

That is so good that you got your dog back. I wouldn't know what to do if one of my 3 dogs ran away or was missing. It's giving me chills just thinking about it.

I have never had a pet go missing... apart from our cat staying out all night. I feel for you as my cats are like my babies.I'm so pleased that you got your prt back

You are very lucky , and I am so happy you have her back such good news ! I am a huge animal lover , and would go crazy if i lost my rayray . she has ran away before , but usually i see her get away , and she will just circle the block , and that scares me , because she just dont get cars at all . My uncle had a dog run away once, and one week later he just showed up , and no one knew where he was . pup seemed fine , but little dirty must of been in woods or something !

it is happy to hear that you found your dog back. i can see that you love your dog very much. i hope she too missed you. better be careful now.

Hello saundyl, Glad to hear you got your little dog back!The closest I've ever come to something like that was earlier this year when I lost my cell phone. I didn't know I'd lost it though. While I was driving, my friend's phone started ringing and she said, "Your phone is calling me." I told her to answer it to see what it wanted and it was a couple of guys who had found my phone and called the last number I had dialed (my friend, right before I picked her up). We met at a gas station and they gave me my phone back. Not as exciting as your lost dog story, because I didn't even know my phone was missing so there was no stress. Happy MyLotting!

Congrats that you have got her back. It is hard to stay from your pet as they are so loving.

i remember that when i was a children , we own a small yard on my grendma`s home , my grandma fed a lot of chickens in that yard , but sure there chickens can not call `pet` , but this is my only experienced that fed the animals .... the good news that they can lay eggs many more everyday , i grew up eating them , now , so miss my child`s life ``

imglad you get him back...dont let it happened again... happy posting

OH! That's GREAT! I just want to say, you must be grateful to have such a nice and honest neighbour! Some people wouldn't even bother about stray or lost dogs wandering on the streets. happy mylotting!
