Anyway, well done to you Lozzi, and how fortunate that somebody was around who cared enough to catch the poor girl. I can't believe that people just carried on playing golf around you both
Hopefully the owners did have a valid reason to not be out looking for their dog, but even if not, at least she won't have to sleep outside in the cold tonight.

Come on folks this member did a really good thing today and deserves to be applauded for it
If one of our animals went missing we would move heaven and earth to get it back and would be so grateful to the person who got them to safety

I usually like to respond to each individual post, but there are too many here so I have just picked out posts I have something specific I want to say about…

Goodness knows what would have happened if you hadn't been around. Will you be keeping in touch with Dog Warden about it?
I am going to call up tomorrow and ask, although the guy I spoke to on the phone today was a nightmare! I explained to him about Tara, and he said ‘oh, I need to put you through to someone else’ so he put me through to the environmental department! I hung up coz I got to a recorded menu and wasn’t sure what option to pick… when I called back (and said I got cut off 
) the same guy answered, and told me he was the one to take my details and would pass them on… he didn’t seem to have a clue

yep, I will be ignoring them I have learnt on dogsey to get a tough skin, and just move past horrible comments… they used to upset me on here, but i wont let it get to me these days.

I have seen a picture of this dog (hope that's ok to mention Lozzi) and for me, it's a disgrace for any respectable gsd owner to keep a dog in this state, and I'm a person who has had one with EPI where you cannot keep the weight on, but even she didn't look like a hat rack!
It will be interesting to hear if you get any feedback Lozzi from the dog warden, so please let us know won't you
and I will definitely keep you updated if I hear from the dog warden! Will try giving her a call tomorrow.

I am glad the OP managed to catch the dog, like I am sure everyone else is.
But there are many things we don't know.
If Zeff was going through one if his 'thin' stages, you could easily conclude that he was mistreated....

My own dogs, who are not (in my opinion anyway) neglected, abused etc who probably be extremely scared if they got out, and ran miles away, and were then approached by a total stranger chasing them about the golf course for an extended period of time attempting to catch them. Not saying leaving her would have been the right course of action, but it would at least go some way to explaining her fear - which she may not display at all in "normal" circumstances.

Thanks again to those have been lovely!
