Wow  That's fantastic news - what a lovely lad.  That's so encouraging - SIXTEEN MONTHS !! He obviously recognised his owner even after all that time.  Yes it certainly does give the rest of us hope.

What fantastic news that Rufus is back where he belongs.  He looks so content in the photo - quite rightly so!  Welcome home Rufus.

Brilliant news Rufus has been REUNITED after 16 months. Not been able to contact owner, have managed to speak to helper Baldrick and confirm it is this Rufus.  What a brilliant outcome and have great pleasure in moving him into the BLUE.  Email below from one very happy owner sent to Admin with a lovely REUNITED photo, thanks for letting us know.  Power to the CHIP once again.  Welcome home Rufus.  Baldrick is going to call in and see owner.  On behalf of DL I'd like to pass on thanks to Baldrick who did so much to help in the search for Rufus and is obviously over the moon to find out he is back HOME.  Thanks also to other helpers in the area and the DW who made that most important call.  Jan x Dear people of DogLost.co.uk   In May 2008 I lost my Border Terrier Rufus. I received great help and support from your organisation in those awful days, but despite all your and my efforts Rufus wasn't found.   I am very happy to be able to tell you that two days ago, 16 months after Rufus got lost, I received unexpected news from the local dog warden that he had been found and taken to a local kennel in Whitchurch!   Rufus has since come home, is in a good condition and behaves as if he's never been away. I attach a picture of myself and Rufus, taken after our reunion.   I'm very grateful for your all your help and support. I hope this reunion will tell other owners who have lost their dog never to give up hope!   Best wishes   John Allen

Email in Admin of a Rufus who has been reunited after 16 months, just checking with owner to see if it is the same Rufus as the page has been corrupted in the hack last year.  Jan x

owner will register. Have postered around the squire yorke, belmont road (where rufus lives), sontley road, the phone box near percy road, st josephs school, Erddig woods car park and both entrances at the sontley road side, bryn offa school (or whatever its called now) and the pedestrian crossing by victoria school. Have also put one up at Rhostyllen playing field by the bench, but ran out of tape, so will need to go back tomorrow. Owner was doing his bin as we left, as it is bin day today. He has also informed postman and immediate neighbours. I also gave a poster to a very nice Police dog handler I happened to bump into. I will get rid of the few I have left in taxis tonight if I can as people get maudlin going home after a few bevvies, and will want to help when the see the very cute picture.

Oh thanks mate. Ive done felin puleston car park, the entrance to erddig woods, the entrance to alyn waters (thank you Audrey for taking a poster), Rhostyllen shop (thank you to the kind gentleman who offered to do that) and Wrexham Dog Agility. If you could do Pets at home that would be great. I am meeting owner today for some posters so will do Rhostyllen Playing fields and round the squire Yorke. If I can get enough posters I am going out tonight so will charm some taxi drivers into displaying them.. Puzzlepuss some more posters would be great thank you. I have printed my quota without being a lone parent now!

Brilliant, had my poster now thanks. For locals, dog is missing from the Ruabon Road/Fairy road area of Wrexham. Have advised owner to poster immediate locality near post boxes/bus stops etc. Have also advised he poster the area in which the dog is walked plus Acton Park. We need to cover Bersham Woods, Erddig woods and car park, Pets at home, Rhostyllen shop and playing field. Also it will do no harm to cover Alyn Waters. If anyone knows of any bitches in season in the area please post. Dog had his first taste of bitches a few weeks ago, and is still a bit frisky! There is also a railway crossing on the Industrial trail from Erddig. If anyone walks there please can you poster. This dog is known in the locality, but is only a stones throw from Erddig Woods where lots of people come from outside the area. This was bank holiday, so someone may have taken him home due to lack of dog warden. Dog is streetwise and good in traffic, but I will ring street cleaning in the morning. Owner is doing a sweep of local kennels again. If anyone posters/phones or does anything please post so that the owner knows what has been done. Thanks
