He's a lovely dog who is an excellent house guest, especially now he has stopped trying to hump my boys!

bless him....I just hope he doesnt end up in the local pound and pts due to his age

What a lovely boy he does look well cared for so hopefully someone is missing him. Have you contacted local radio stations so they can put out an appeal? (keep something about his appearance or age or something secret though so you can be sure it is the real owner that claims him) Good on you for helping him

im sure hes just escaped rather than being dumped he looks like he is well looked after. ive bought many a dog home thats strayed without a collar and have had the owners sobbing at my door when theyve been reunited. hopefully this will be the case with this boy

Aw bless him, I hope he is claimed by his owners soon.

It's lovely of you to take him in, in the meantime.

I have been having the same horrible thoughts myself. I'm thinking about having him back if that is the case.....don't know how I'm going to tell the OH because we've already got 3.

Aw Bless you...if you already have 3 one more won't even be noticed

What a gorgeous dog! I hope he finds his family soon!

Have you taken him to a local vets to see if he's chipped?

Also can you print some posters & put them out where you found him??

The dog warden is picking him up tomorrow, I'll give them a call later to find out what happens. If he's not claimed then I'll do some posters. The place where he joined up with us was busy with walkers and mountain bikers today, but it's not really close to any houses. I'm hoping he was out walking with his family and his "urges" got the better of him. It would be quite a long walk for someone to dump him there.

Why not keep hold of him for now? Try and find the owners rather than put him into the pound??????

That was sooooooooooooooooo mean of me!!!!!
