Starcoaster Posted May 16, 2017 Report Share Posted May 16, 2017 (edited) NOW REUNITED, THANKS ALL. I have in my possession one really lovely, friendly and adorable liver and white spaniel (cocker or springer, or maybe a cross) but unfortunately he is not mine and he and I both are quite keen to find his owners! He was found earlier this evening running around on the towpath of the North Oxford at Hilmorton, with no boats or houses nearby. Liver and white coat, four legs, one tail, obsessed with balls, possibly because his own are absent. There is a capsule ID tag on his collar but the bottom half is missing, so no owner details. He is being taken care of tonight due to the late hour, but I will take him to the dog warden tomorrow if he is not found to have a microchip or the owner has not been found. He is wearing a distinctive bandana that you can partially see in the pics-anyone claiming ownership will need to tell me what the bandana says before he will be surrendered. He is very friendly and hugely lively as well as seeming a bit fretful and is clearly looking for his owners. He is a touch overweight and was very very thirsty, but is obviously well cared for and looks as if he might have had a haircut not long ago. He might be off a boat, due to the location and the fact that when he got to my boat while I started trying to contact the RSPCA etc. etc. he seemed keen to get on! I am in process of adding him to Dogs Lost. Etc., now. Sorry for the shit pics, it was dark and he would not keep still! Please message me directly if he is yours-I will be up til about 2am! As I say, will surrender him to the dog warden tomorrow if I get nowhere as I have two cats and cannot accommodate him, and frankly he is kind of batshit enthusiastic about everything in a way that is making me feel exhausted just watching.

haggis Posted May 16, 2017 Report Share Posted May 16, 2017 I have shared this on Agility Net , a facebook page for dog agility folk. Well done for rescuing him haggis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starcoaster Posted May 16, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2017 Cheers. I feel like he is probably a boat dog, but no one seems to have posted about a lost one... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haggis Posted May 16, 2017 Report Share Posted May 16, 2017 Wearing a bandana does make him seem like a boat dog but as the agility community is very active all over the UK I thought that it was worth alerting them. haggis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starcoaster Posted May 16, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2017 Sam-for that is indeed his name, despite answering quite happily to "Dogue" has now gone home with his dad. Lots of thanks due to the fellow boater who babysat him while I started posting his mug shot too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MtB Posted May 17, 2017 Report Share Posted May 17, 2017 Cool! So was it this thread the owner read that lead him to contact you?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starcoaster Posted May 17, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2017 No it was a Facebook group. The owner had posted on her own page that this dog was missing, and one of her friends had seen my own posts about finding him and put us in touch.
