Fantastic news. What a massive relief for all of you. Wonder how he ended up lost in the first place? Dogs eh, who'd have em!!

Phew, great news! Just back with my own lot so can relax now knowing Craig is back home safely! xx

just caught this, so glad he is home safe

So glad Craig is home! xx

Thanks again everyone. I have given Craig a nice warming meal and he is now tucked in his kennel with a new bed of straw. He seems pretty happy to be home

Yay!!! Brilliant news I love a happy ending xxxx

Oh brilliant - I was dreading a sad ending but it was happy, happy, happy!

So glad he's home.

Wonder what happened, I guess you'll never know for sure. Do you think he just got completely disorientated in the wind?

Thanks again everyone, we are just so relieved he is home

Allan thinks that is exactly what happened Fiona, although of course as you say we will never know for sure.

He set Craig off to gather about half a mile away from where he was and being an experienced dog was left to it and Allan continued on to where he knew the sheep would start to turn up. Once he saw them coming he then whistled Craig back around to come down to where he was ... but no dog. So he thinks that Craig heard the whistle but the very strong wind and blustery rain may have carried the sound of the whistle and confused Craig so he set off in the wrong direction.

So glad to hear he is home safe and well x
