Been reading this too and kept an eye around my area...

Delighted for you!!

Dave147 · 22-02-2012 4:53am

Over the moon you found Charlie, as a previous owner of a labrador I could feel your pain, watched the thread every day hoping that I would read news of him being found, it grew less and less likely and then this evening I checked my email and there it was!

Cherish him now and I hope you never lose him again..

Tea_Bag · 22-02-2012 5:18am

I'm so happy for you. I've crying.

JustAThought · 22-02-2012 8:04am

What great news for a dark day; I'm so happy for you. I'm going down to hug my dog.!!!

northern lights · 22-02-2012 8:41am

Wow, just wow! Sitting here crying with happiness for you. What utterly fantastic news for a wet miserable wednesday morning

So so happy for you all....xx

Phoenix Park · 22-02-2012 9:03am

Another one here who had been keeping a close eye from a distance, delighted for you!

cyrusdvirus · 22-02-2012 9:05am

at all you blokes posting about having tears in your eyes when you were reading this last night.... count yourselves lucky you weren't in work!!!

getting some MIGHTY strange looks here as i try to dab my eyes without looking too obvious!!:D:D

Awwman, totally delighted for you and Charlie, have been following this thread with an increasing sense of foreboding, but there is NOTHING like being re-united with a lost pet.... i still remember how i felt when i found my lost cat.......back in 1987!!:D

angelfire9 · 22-02-2012 9:13am

Brilliant news
Could not be more delighted for you and Charlie!!

Clare Bear · 22-02-2012 9:18am

Oh I'm so happy for you

callmekenneth · 22-02-2012 9:28am

ah jaysus, i've been following this thread in misery at your loss, so delighted for you, it's a massive massive win! well done you for not giving up, he's lucky to have such a caring owner. dogs of ireland could use a few more like you

excaliburhc · 22-02-2012 9:32am

delighted to hear you got him back safely .

hope ye have a long life together

the_syco · 22-02-2012 9:34am

Glad you got Charlie back; always nice to see the happy endings

As the saying goes "if only dogs could talk"

callmekenneth · 22-02-2012 9:37am

it's weird he never got picked up by the dog warden. i've just spent the last couple of weeks getting weight back onto an emaciated boxer bitch and i found a cup of puppy meal 3/4 times a day, mixed with either 2 scrambled eggs or tuna in sunflower oil really worked at filling her out

old_aussie · 22-02-2012 9:58am

I'm so glad to hear Charlie is home.

saleda · 22-02-2012 10:00am

Just made my day... so happy for you that you got your happy ending

tazwaz · 22-02-2012 10:05am

I'm absolutely thrilled to hear charlie is home with you, where he belongs

Saaron · 22-02-2012 11:15am

YAAAAY!!!!!

Wonderful news, I'm so happy to hear he's back!

koneko · 22-02-2012 1:32pm

I'm really happy to see this

I came on specifically to check this thread, like I had a little feeling!

I'm so happy for you, and I'm sure he'll be spoiled with so many hugs

I swear, that isn't a little tear in my eye though

1holly1 · 22-02-2012 1:59pm

So glad to hear charlie's back! Also at work trying to hide tears of happiness for you. Can't imagine what it must have been like for you the past few weeks. x

spur · 22-02-2012 2:17pm

Thrilled for you! Like many other been following this without posting - and every day putting myself in your shoes and just feeling sick!
When I was a child the dog at home was missing for 3 or 4 whole days in horribly icy, snowy conditions. He was a terrible ramber and was often missing for a few hours - but this time he didn't come back and didn't come back and every evening I'd race out from school to my father to see if he was home - I still remember trying to run on the iced over path to get to the car as fast as possible. He was a collie and was always thin, so he wouldn't have much to survive on. He turned up late one night - can still remember my father calling me out to him. He was thinner than ever, but not starving thin.
Many, many months later I discovered a neighbour had brought him in and minded him for those days and was on about how thin he was etc - I sat next to the daughter for sewing and it came up in conversation one evening. I was aggrieved that they thought the dog wasn't fed properly, but at least we knew where he'd been!
I bet someday you'll find more out too!
That particular dog continued to go on his little forays for the rest of his life, but never again for longer than an hour or two.
And he's probably the reason I lose my own reason if either of my current 2 are out of sight for very long!!
Enjoy!!

Tranceypoo · 22-02-2012 2:22pm

Joyful news!!!

I'm filling up!!

Been reading the thread from the start and was fearing the worst, but this is just the best news ever, my heart skipped a beat when I read Charlie had been found and the tears followed soon after. Delighted for you OP.:)

ISDW · 22-02-2012 5:46pm

I haven't got internet access at home at the moment, but check in everyday, and always look to see if theres any news on this thread. I am so, so delighted that he's home safe and sound.

squeky · 22-02-2012 5:50pm

I just read this thread and OMG I'm so happy he is found. My heart was in my mouth reading it and I was in bits as I would lose my life if anything happened to our dog as he is our (baby) spoilt rotten!! so can imagine what OP was going through. God there is some very nice caring and good people out there. Well done!.
You never gave up hope and the gang here supported you immensely. Give charlie hug from us
Best wishes xxxxx

FoxyVixen · 22-02-2012 5:57pm

So unbelievably happy for you awman, and how brilliant that so many were keeping an eye out

Can breath a small sigh of relief this had a happy ending, was terrified for you for a bit

myxi · 22-02-2012 6:01pm

I'm so glad he's home! I followed this thread for the last few weeks and everytime it updated I crossed my fingers before reading it hoping there was fgood news!

Delighted he's home!!!

e29j07 · 22-02-2012 6:35pm

xx

Ophiopogon · 22-02-2012 6:52pm

This is just fantastic to hear, Charlie went missing around the same time my 14 year old cat died so I was really feeling your loss and willing for some good news. Every time I saw the thread since though was causing increasing dread.

I am beyond happy for you that this ended so well. I can't imagine Charlie's relieve at being back with his family.

angry kitten · 22-02-2012 6:56pm

Am delighted Charlie's home.

carleigh · 22-02-2012 7:10pm

Welcome home Charlie!

ABajaninCork · 22-02-2012 7:13pm

I've been following this on here as well as FB.

So very, very happy for you and the boy!

YAY for Charlie!!:D:D:D

Mollywolly · 22-02-2012 7:28pm

I'm so thrilled to hear that Charlie's home with you again. I've been following this since the start and feared the worst - but hoped for the best! I've been bawling like a baby since I heard the news - it's absolutely brilliant!

It seems as if all those people praying for his safe return did the trick.

Big hugs and kisses to you both xxxx

Traonach · 22-02-2012 8:51pm

Charlie is one lucky dog, to have an owner who didn't give up hope and tried everything to get her beloved dog back. It must be like winning the lottery (only better):).

Sigma Force · 22-02-2012 9:13pm

So pleased for you and Charlie! That's the best news, good on you for not giving up looking for him hopefully others who have lost their pets will see this thread and know that there's hope.

If not already make sure he has an id tag (a largeish one that's easy to read) on his coller just in casey, identitag are a great site and that he's microchipped (if not already).

So pleased he's home with you tucking in to some nice food and cosied up by the fire.

realrebel · 22-02-2012 10:50pm

jesus that brought a tear to my eyes when i read that he was found
i say charlie is delighted to be back and wish him all the best from now on
fair play for not giving up on him

Fitzg · 22-02-2012 11:13pm

Yay

congratulations Awman and Charlie and well done to everyone who helped too, I'm so glad it worked out well

Just seen a lovely photo of Charlie on Facebook on his bed in front of the fire, tail wagging away.

I tell you what, we may be a bunch of big softies but this story has done my heart all kinds of good

Ive never seen a lost and found thread as popular as this one on here ever. We all seem to need some really good news lately and this just hit the spot!!!

Tis restored my flagging faith in people i tell ya....:p

I totally agree with you.

This is my forum of choice on boards but I don't post much as I am nowt but a humble dog servant of three years and not much of an expert.

Most people come here looking for advice and there are loads of people here to help.

However, this thread is a different story altogether and I feel like a bit of a stalker because I have posted on it so much. I just couldn't get Charlie out of my head and I hoped every day for the post saying he was home. I was delighted when it finally came.

It was a lovely thing to see though, everyone was willing him home and being positive and supportive to the OP.

So glad for the happy ending.

Darkginger · 23-02-2012 1:47am

Thought I'd just check the forum before bed - and oh WOW! So happy for you and Charlie - I bet you can't take your eyes off of him

I've got tears pouring down my face! What a great result - made my day!

falabo · 23-02-2012 10:15am

sooooo happy for you! congratulations!

This has made my day.

bada_bing · 23-02-2012 10:17am

congratulations on getting your dog back!!

I was curious about the place where he was found, how far away was it from your house? I always thought that dogs and cats can usually find their way back home.

Will I ever find him? ** Charlie home safe!! **
