The Kennel lost my parents' dog!!!

[DRB]

Hi everyone,

 

Just to give you a quick update we still haven't found Bailey ( There was a sighting last Friday but it turned out to be another dog. We're still hoping and praying and searching but it's been so hard. I'll let you know if there are any new developments. Thanks again for all of your help, thoughts and prayers!

Thats so terrible! I really hope Bailey is found safe and sound. Is the Kennel doing anything?

I'm so sorry...this is terrible. I hope Bailey is returned home safely.

 

Just a question...is it legal to have an 11 yr old employee in Canada? In the US this would be illegal (I think 14 is the minimum), thus considered gross negligence. Unfortunately, dogs are property. As such the value is determined in the same manner. But really...an 11 yr old employee...I'd be bent with this boarding facility. Who entrusts their business to an 11 yr old?...just saying.

I'm so sorry this happened. I'll pray for his safe return. Please let us know if they find him.

I'm sorry everyone, I haven't been on the forum in a while. Unfortunately there has been no sign of Bailey good or otherwise. We're still posting ads, putting up flyers, searching etc. but it's been very tough. The kennel continues to take out ads in local newspapers also so at least they are doing something. I still can't believe that something like this happened...still crying almost everyday

It isn't legal here to have an 11 yr old employee, I'm pretty sure that 14 is also the minimum. Something makes me think that maybe the child was related to someone working at the kennel. My parents have told me that they're pretty sure that the kennel has let the child go and isn't using children to walk the dogs anymore. I've tried pressing my parents about the issue but they're so devastated that I think that all they're focused on is getting Bailey back (I think that they're taking the position that getting mad/trying to take legal action isn't going to do anything to bring him back and no amount of money could ever replace him or make them feel better). I'm pretty sure that they have told the kennel that having young children walk dogs is completely unreasonable and the kennel has agreed. I just want to make sure that this doesn't happen to anyone else because of a similar situation.

 

I know that it's been over a month but they (and I) just can't give up hope, even if some people think that that may be unrealistic. We're praying that someone has him and thinks that he's just a stray.

 

I'll keep you all updated on any developments. Thank you so much for all of your prayers!

Hey Mel- thanks for the latest update. I'm sorry you guys haven't found Bailey yet. I really hope someone has found him and is treating him like a prince and will stumble upon one of your fliers asap! Good luck and keep hope, we're thinking about you!

I having the same issue! I cannot believe that is happen. I droped my 10 years old cat at that kennel here in Houston. I went on my vacation on the 12.of December. My cat  disappiered on the 20.or 21st of December. I got informed on the first of January and asap booked my flight back to Houston. I can't stop crying. I miss him so much. And that kennel put me in thos horrible feelings. I am sad and mad at all. I do everthing to find him but I have to recognize it turns in a search for a needle in a hey stock. I just pray. Heike
