Black lab found in Hawkshead today

[Spudlet]

Lovely boy, in great fit condition and very well behaved - think he must be a gundog. Wandering about on Vicarage Lane with no one in sight, not recognised at any of the houses. Slightly greying on the muzzle, and think he was entire, but his tail was down as he was a bit unsure of himself, and didn't want to stress him lifting it up to check for sure. Handed to the dog warden this afternoon - was wearing a collar but no tag and not chipped or tattooed either If anyone is missing this lovely boy, the local police can get you the dog warden's number.

Ooh, my family are all there today, sorry, I'm not being useful!

 

[Spudlet]

Well if they see anyone looking for a dog, he's safe but needs collecting! Poor lad, he was rather forlorn (cannot have him, cannot have him...)

I hope someone is bothered enough to look. And I hope they get the ear-bashing of their lives for letting an unidentifiable dog get out at lambing time...

No idea where Hawkshead is, there is a lab cross with a greying muzzle lost here in Devon, wonder if he got in someone's car? Can you email me a phone number and I will pass it on to them please.

 

[Spudlet]

Hawkshead is Cumbria, so that's one hell of a journey! I'm not in the country at the moment so don't have the number to hand. Their best bet would be to give the council a ring, I think http://www.cumbria.gov.uk/ Sorry I can't be of more help at this point!

I've posted it on the north west lab rescue facebook page and forum for you. They may have people asking...

They are very helpful.

[ibot]

Yes I am very sad to say it was our Fred we heard he might have been there for a couple of days. Its so sad and what a terrible way to go

 

[Spudlet]

Poor Fred, I'm really sorry

The lab was claimed back within 24 hours, so at least he is home safe.
