JanDee - none of this sounds right to me, very suspicious. Tread with caution on this one.

Totally agree Jane. I'm still sharing this boy in the hope that he is still alive and possibly has been sold on. As he's very distinctive there's hope he'll be found. It doesn't any sense that someone would cremate a dog and certainly not before getting in touch with the owner first so I think it's well worth treating him as missing.

Hi JanDee - it's always difficult to decipher details on the thread - thanks so much for filling in the gaps as it were. The details are lacking in the thread and I do fully understand for various reasons sometimes they cannot be revealed. But what a mess this is. This certainly needs to go far and wide. It still amazes me how many people don't have their dogs chipped. It would save so much heartache if they did and they would get their dogs back in most cases a lot quicker...!!! Even better belt and braces ears tattooed as well!

Jane, apparently the person looking after this boy has a pig farm and incinerator and claims to have disposed of the dog through cremation on her premises, but the owner needs to contact the police, the local AHVLA and DEFRA because as far as I can tell it's an offence to use such an incinerator for any other 'by products' and certainly she should have a licence and regular inspections from her local Animal Health and Veterinary Laboratories Agency office (AHVLA).

Every pet crematorium holds records of EVERY pet. The records state - the breed of dog and where the dog came from, i.e. vet etc. Now this is the interesting part..the name of the person who cremated the dog, the actual incinerator number (there are more than one!). Also the time the dog was cremated. You will be able to find ALL the above from the Pet Cremation Service.

Thanks Jenkins.
He's a very distinctive looking dog. I do hope he was sold on to someone who'll give him back soon.

Hi Veronica and Baydogs - admin have the mobile number for the owner (she was getting cranky messages on facebook) so didnt want her mobile number displayed. Her e-mail address is on the system so she will receive postings. Regarding the incineration, the person who was looking after the dog has a pig farm and apparently that is where the dog was incinerated so as you will realise there is no record and no proof of the dog's death. Hopefully someone may know if the dog has been seen and is still alive and living elsewhere.

I hope this isn't too upsetting but I don't think vets charge for incineration if the dog is included in a communal incineration along with other deceased pets left at the veterinary surgery. Charges are incurred when the owner requests a separate incineration and casket.
Did your "friend" name the vet or the crematorium?
Who diagnosed heart attack? Was there a post mortem?

If he was incinerated, you'd think there would be a vet or pet cemetery nearby with a record of this.
Also, incineration of such a big dog is expensive. Much cheaper to give it away or sell it on.
PS, is this message likely to reach the owner, as no mobile number given above for him/her?

Sorry to see that MAJOR is missing.

• If your dog is microchipped please let the microchip company know that your dog is missing and check that all details are up to date.
• Owners targeted by a malicious hoaxer demanding money for the return of their dog should phone the police on 101 immediately and contact admin@doglost.co.uk
