My dog ran away - HES HOME!!!!!!

AND Im in Florida and there is nothing I can do about it!

My neighbor took his electronic collars off when it was 0 out so he could spend the night in her basement and put it too close to the wire so it killed the battery. She couldnt figure out how to open it to change the battery so she just left him inside the gate. The person who is watching the house said he got there tonight around 5 and the dog had broken out.

He has no tags on him, they were on his collar, hes been gone since sometime this morning/afternoon.

No one has called animal control or the police to report him with them.

Im so sad and FH is freaking out. Hes had him since he was a puppy 9 years ago.


****UPDATE AS OF 10:58AM*****

Riverhead animal control just called me and said that a man called them saying that he had a cocker spaniel on his property sitting on his porch with his dog. Doug (thats the dogs name) is a Springer Spaniel... the guy might not know the difference!! He also said he was brown and white... which Dougie is. I mean how many brown and white Cocker Spaniels do you know?? I get to find out in 2 hours when the dog warden gets back and I can go see if its Doug... KEEP YOUR FINGERS CROSSED!!!!!!!!!



IT WAS HIM!!!! HES HOME!!! HE SPENT THE WEEKEND WITH ANOTHER DOG ON SOMEONE IN THE NEIGHBORHOODS PORCH!!! HES HOME! I CRIED FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES! STRESS IS OVER!
