Old lost dog

Noticed this old fella hanging around my apartment building for about a week. Decided to take him in out of the rain and give him some grub.

He's an old gent this guy. I don't think I've ever come across a more well behaved dog.

Love the narrow DOF. Good job, I commend you for taking him in

Lovely portrait, he looks real sad though. Did you decide to keep him?

He does look sad poor thing, great pic, feel like I've really met him.

He's a lovely looking little fellow. Good size for an apartment too perhaps! Are you going to keep him? He would relish a caring home for sure!;)

I'm going to see if I can get him scanned for a microchip before I decide what to do with him. He might just be lost, which means there might be someone looking for him. But I'll take care of him as best I can until then.

He's very clever though. He was trying to take a nap a while ago and quickly realized that the wood floors aren't very comfy. So, he decided he was going to commandeer the sofa, but because he's a gentleman of vintage he ain't too spry. After a few failed attempts at vaulting his way onto the couch he came over to where I was, poked me with his paw a few times then walked back over to the sofa and stared at me. I came over, lifted him onto the sofa and he was snoring within about 30 seconds I'd say

While he seem's sad he is more a grizzly street wise Dog and fully appreciates his new lamp o' the genie.

Hey Gloobag, it just occurred to me, did you post this in the Lost and Found (pets) section ?

Promac · 14-08-2010 12:18am

Thanks a lot gloobag - lovely image and story to boot.

Hi Gloobag just wondering about the canine old fella, did you find its owner(s) ?

No, but he's being looked after. One of the other residents in my building arranged for a rescue to take him. There was a few of us looking out for him it would seem

He stayed with me for the most part, but when I wasn't around he stayed in the lobby of the building where someone else had set up a bed and food and water for him. It was gas, he was like a little scruffy doorman, coz he'd be right there waiting at the main door whenever you came in.

He also seemed to have great fun going up and down in the elevator all day with all the different people
