The Kennel lost my parents' dog!!!

[Thomasjsgirl]

That's absolutely horrible and soooo unprofessional! Please let us know if they find him. My heart goes out to your parents

I am so sorry to hear this. You are dealing with this so well, I would completely lose it if someone lost either of my dogs. I can only imagine how devasting this is for your family and poor Bailey. I hope he is found and comes home soon.

[Amymarie]

Wow, This is unbelievable. I would looooose it. I hope you find the poor guy.

Thanks everyone for the kind thoughts. Still no news but we're holding out hope that maybe someone in the area has him and just doesn't realize that we're looking for him.

 

I guess that my Dad spoke to the kennel owner again and he's still looking. My Dad also thinks that he let the child who lost Bailey go and won't be using children to walk dogs anymore (at least we hope!). On top of everything I just feel so terrible for the child who lost him because we know that he feels awful and that it was an accident. It wasn't the poor kid's fault so we don't blame him at all. I hope that the poor thing isn't completely traumatized. I'm going to mention to my parents that maybe they speak to the child or his parents just to let him know that no one is blaming him and that as horrible as a situation this is it can happen, dogs can be unpredictable.

 

I'm just so sad. I grew up with this dog and he means so much to me too. My whole week has been spent either searching, searching and crying, crying in bed or drugging myself up with Gravol to try and sleep (ok not the healthiest thing I know). DH doesn't know what to do with me at this point and he's also a huge dog lover. Even my own dog is sad right now! My heart is completely broken and I have no idea how to move forward (I don't want to say move on because I don't want to lose hope or abandon him). I know that to some people a dog is just an animal but I've always been the type of person who cries during a movie when a dog dies but not a person. It's just so hard! I'm not religious but I'm praying for a miracle at this point.

 

Thanks for all of the support though! It's just nice to hear that people care!

I'm hoping for a safe return!! Animals can be very strong when they need to be! You did the right thing - people needed to know the kennel location in case the dog is still around there.

 

All the best.

If anyone is in the Ontario area and wants to help or knows someone in the Ottawa area can you join or pass along the link to the Facebook group I created? I'm hoping that the more people know about Bailey the more likely we are to find him:

aww I'm so sorry to hear this. You never want to think that about anything going wrong when you leave your furbaby with someone. Hoping for a safe return!

[SgtPepperette]

Wow, Im so sorry. I hope you guys find him soon. I couldnt even imagine. Have you in my thoughts!

[SusieQ]

That is such a sad story... i'd be freaking out too... My dogs are like my children and I know my heart would be broken if something was to happen to either of them. When we went away for our wedding it was the biggest drama of who was going to care for our dogs.

I hope he is found soon... keep us updated

Oh, Mel! My heart goes out to you and your family. I've been in your shoes, and nothing hurts worse than not knowing where your furbaby is. Anyone who has a pet know that pets are people too. We are here for you. We're praying right along with you....Don't give up! Just keep picturing Bailey safe and warm with a full belly, and he will be home soon enough.

**Saying a special prayer for Mel and fam and Bailey tonight so that he finds his way home safely very SOON!**
