    He was reunited with his family tonight.

    Do you mean Charlie or the other dog?

    Hi everyone,

    I just want to say thank you all so much. I'm completely overwhelmed at how kind you all are, i'm so grateful to you all for trying to help me find him. Unfortunately neither of those two dogs posted are Charlie. The dog that was found in Listowel is a young dog and he is neutered. The dog found in Balbriggan got my heart racing when I seen the pic cause he's so like Charlie but unfortunately its not Charlie him. He has been reunited with his owner. so the search continues :( .... he'll be missing 4 weeks on Thursday. Very hard to stay positive when that amount of time has passed but I'd just like to sincerely thank every single one of you that have posted words of encouragement here on boards. I really really appreciate it.

    +10000 Great news Awman. Really cheered me up to read it. Good oul Charlie. The bas... divil. He's had us all going. :) So good to know he's back with his family. May I suggest paying off your local butcher, leave Charlie inside and close the doors for ten minutes... :D

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    We finally found him!!!!! I cant believe i am actually typing this. Was so sure I'd never see him again but he's here lying on the mat beside me in front of the fire now... and i just cant believe it!!! I got a phone call today from an elderly lady who lives about 3 miles from where I live. She said her daughter had been walking and had seen a dog in a derelict (sp?) house that looked like my dog. I was at work and couldnt leave so I rang my sister and she drove straight over. She rang me saying the dog was still there and he looked alot like Charlie but he kept running away from her. So I grabbed everything, left work and drove over the road like a mad woman. When i got there and seen the dog I actually thought at first that it wasnt him. He looked so different but as soon as I seen his face I knew it was him. It took a bit of coaxing to get him to come to me but when he did it was amazing. He buried his head in my arms and I literally bawled my eyes out. He's a quarter of the size he was and is very shook but brought him straight to the vet and the vet said that he should be ok with plenty of TLC. I'm still in shock that we've actually got him home with us again. I really cant believe it.
    I just want to say how grateful I am to everyone here at Boards for all the words of encouragement. When I felt there was no hope of ever finding him again there was always someone on here telling me not to give up and to keep searching for him. Only for all those words of encouragement to keep trying to find him, I probably wouldnt have him here beside me now. Charlie means the world to me and I cannot express how grateful I am.

    I hope the vet stuck a microchip in him. Also, I like the idea of paying off the butcher and letting him run wild!
