Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / December 2005Billy has been found!!!
I just got a message from one of Billy's people - he was found by a smart woman who is an animal rescuer, and was able to figure out immediately that he didn't look like a stray dog, but was somebody's pet. So she looked on Craigslist (a free, online want-ads service) and found the phone nubmer and called. He was found quite a ways from where he ran away. How on earth did he get that far??? Anyway, the Power of Purr (and Doggie Drool) has worked again. Thank you all!!

Oh, well, it doesn't seem so far in the human scale - maybe 2 or 3 miles, tops. But the area between his starting and ending points is completely urban, with busy streets, lots of traffic, multi-lane streets, lights, etc. My theory is that he was trying to go home to be with *his* special human. He was going in the wrong direction, though, so I'm glad a savvy person found him!

Others have a genetic need it seems to head cross country. When they get out they will run and will run in pretty much a straight line. They can cover a lot of distance. Husky type dogs can be really hard to find just because they can be so far from home. Jo > I don't know what breed Billy was, but some dogs will wander around when > they get out. Others have a genetic need it seems to head cross country. He's a mix of a few breeds, and nobody's quite sure what they are. He seems to have some spaniel in him, and also beagle. He's about the size of a beagle, and definitely has the coloring, head shape, and face of a beagle. But his fur is longer and more straggly, hence the thought that he might be part spaniel.

One question though. I thought that it was law that all dogs in the USA had to wear ID and rabies tags? Certainly in the UK it's the law that dogs have to wear collars and ID when not at home or in a public place. Helen M > One question though.

He does have a collar with ID and a rabies tag - his people are very responsible. So I'm not sure why the woman who found him needed to look online for a "lost dog" post. It's possible he lost his tags. Or maybe somebody removed them. I don't know the details yet. Joyce > > One question though.

I don't know the details yet./// I didn't doubt for 1 second that his people weren't responsible - as evidenced by the fact they did what they did to find him. Sorry if I caused offence! It just struck me as very lucky that he was found via an internet list!

Signaturemonique, who spoils Oscar unmercifully pictures: http://www.bounceswoosh.org/rpca Great news for a change! {I was struck this weekend at the grocery store by the number of "lost dog" signs posted at the entrance. So sad. Even sadder were the "Have you seen this child?" posters there.} Only a few more hours 'til I can go home and hug kid and cats. Caroline s. Such wonderful news!
