Well thats fantastic that you took him in, I'd suggest you make contact with Ashtown pound and see if there's been any enquiries.

Please if you can, don't put him into the pound as his time there will be limited to five days before being killed, and even if he's rescued its not a healthy place for a dog.

No pound is.

Storm_rages

nope .. don't worry would never bring a dog to the pound..

I have emailed dogs in distress, and will makes posters up today..

I hope we can find his owners or if not we will get him a new home..

My other two are not at all sure what to make of this much much bigger dog..

It can happen that the dog will get onto the dart and not get off for a number of stops. It stands no chance of finding its way home if this happens. If you are putting up posters ask in the dart station if they will put up one in every station.

Thats right, and if memory serves me right EGAR rescued a staffordshire Bull Terrier under similar circumstances at a train station in Galway about two years ago.

The poor thing looks so sad

6th

It has a collar on, I dont understand why people dont spend the couple of € and pop a tag with a number on it?

Fair play for taking him in.

Storm_rages

Gulp.. straight down to the pet shop for me and get my two a tag (they are micro chipped!)

Yea i hope he has not eaten them (i left him out the back garden, but my husband who left after me said he some how managed to get in the small dog flat .. he he i can't wait to see him do that)

Seems a happy dog..

The Sweeper

I don't think he looks sad at all, looks like a typical bloody labrador "huff huff huff, look at me, I got losted, durrrr, who wants to play? Do you have a ball? hurr hurr hurr..."

When I was a kid growing up in Wicklow, back in the days where latch-key doggies was the norm, labradors had a reputation as wanderers. Like everyone let their dogs out all day, but whereas most of them stayed near their home and garden, labs would sod off down the high street to the beach. Does that rep still stand with them?

Storm_rages

Great news, i think we have found the owner..

We had him out walking this morning, he is a lovely happy Very large dog.. but he did seem happy to wonder off till we called him. Anyway, we are meeting them tonight in a car park. Fingers crossed it the right people and they are nice owners (it would break my heart to have to give him back to someone horrible!)

Yeah - I think so. My Father in law was late (according to the lab) going to the shops to get the paper. They can't find the dog - and are wondering where she went. Get a call from the guy who owns the shop saying 'Your dog is here to collect the paper, shall I give it to her?'
