I can't believe what I've just read about Alfie - so sorry to hear the terrible news. At least, as others have said, you were there when he passed away and you had the joy of having him home again, albeit for a short while. Run free at the Rainbow Bridge Alfie. My thoughts are with you Annabel. Bridgetx

Sorry I thought I had left a post yesterday...but it does not appear to have shown up. Like everyone else can I say you have done exceptionally well in looking for Alfie and Alfie did exceptionally well surviving ...a bond thats two way. If it is any concellation you were with him when the time came....much better than to have found him in the river.....all though his passing was premature you were blessed to see his relief at being found ...and more importantly you have closure...so many on this site will not ever have that....I do admire you as when your dog was missing and then re united you have given so many encouraging words to others...A true doglost helper!

Annabel I was totaly gutted to hear the news from Jan whilst I was out. It was such an enormous shock, and I am devastated after all you, and your family, and Alfie have been through. It is an unfair world. Bless you for being the owner you are, and to have managed to find him and give him these last wonderful days back home with you all. We will all remember Alfie - one of those unique characters never to be forgotten. I am so very very sorry for your loss. Run free and enjoy the fun with new friends at Rainbow Bridge sweet Alfie xx

HEAVEN’S DOGGY-DOOR My best friend closed his eyes last night,
  As his head was in my hand.
The Doctors said he was in pain,
  And it was hard for him to stand.
The thoughts that scurried through my head,
  As I cradled him in my arms.
Were of his younger, puppy years,
  And OH...his many charms.
Today, there was no gentle nudge
  With an intense "I love you gaze",
Only a heart thats filled with tears
  Remembering our joy filled days.
But an Angel just appeared to me,
  And he said, "You should cry no more,
GOD also loves our canine friends,
  HE’s installed a ’doggy-door"!

Annabel, I am so sorry - I too could not believe my eyes when Majorjet sent through that text, you and your family have been through so much and then for this to happen you must all be devastated. Alfie looked to be a great big strong character and I know that he will always be with you in your heart, 'they are but borrowed angels who are sent to touch our hearts' - I think that Alfie has touched a great many hearts here on doglost and we all share your pain. God bless Alfie  & my love to Annabel & Family x Sandie x

I have followed your story from the beginging and i too did fear the worst, but was soooo pleased to see Alfie reunited with you, i must have relayed the story to loads of people, to show there is hope. Yesterday Trixie the Beagle was reunited with its owner, i have been helping her look, and we have been on top of the world, you know how this feels when you have been searching for your beloved one. I logged on to see if she had been switched to reunited and couldnot believe what i saw, i am soooooooooooo sorry for you and your family, you have been through so much, i can hardly see to type as i have tears running down my face, where is the justice in this world, to find him and then have him taken away  again is so unfair. R.I.P. brave little man, our thoughts are with you and the family at this very, very sad time.xxxx

It is with great sadness to be moving Alfie over to RAINBOW BRIDGE.   Annabel sent a txt with the sad news I rang her back straight away.  Annabel did say the other day he was not too good on the day of the filming for Look North. This will be a big shock to everyone.  Annabel thanks so much for letting us know so quickly things were going so well for you and Alfie our deepest thoughts are with you and your family.   Run free at the Bridge and sweet dreams lovely Alfie you captured the hearts of so many people and will not be forgotten.  Good night god bless Alfie.  Jan xxx

Hi everyone,,,,just to say that sadly over the weekend Alfie my gorgeous boy took ill and was put to sleep today at 11.30am he had a foreign body which tore his intestine and led to peritonitis..the vet said he had no chance of recovery, so really his happiness was short lived,but he had it in the end,,at least we did get him back and he didnt suffer anymore,,,i will treasure these last few days which we didnt expect to get,, thanks to everyone and i hate to have this outcome after everything he went through,,its just so unfair to him Rest In Peace my gorgeous Alfie,,25/12/05 to 09/08/09.. all my love Annabel xxxx

Annabel thanks for sending the lovely pics to Admin.  I've grouped some pics together and reloaded.  Doesn't he look handsome after his pampered make over (top left pic).  Bottom pic taking a nap on someone elses bed; well it is allowed because he is a famous boy.  LOL.  Look forward to seeing the newspaper coverage.  Jan x

Hi, I also wanted to post a welcome home message for Alfie and his family. What a very brave and clever boy! And as for the caring, lovely and gorgeous people who rescued him from the river, what can I say... they are ABSOLUTE HEROES!!! But it's also good to hear that this site has now come to the attention of people in the area who were helping to look for Alfie. I hope that many of them will stay on board DogLost and support owners of missing dogs near and far. Welcome home Alfie, you little star!

I'm so, SO pleased you've got Alfie back. The posters that were put up all over the area were a Godsend. Everyone in the area was talking about your pet & we were all hoping to find him for you. You'll be amazed at the number of people looking for him. I never knew about this site until I saw the posters, but now dog owners in this area are aware of this site & how valuable it is. It's a shame that it took this awful event to make us aware of this web site. Best wishes & I bet your grinning from ear to ear every time you look at him.

Well what can I say, this has made my week.   Welcome home gorgeous Alfie, I am soooooooooooooooo pleased for you Annabel, you must be over the moon.   Poor boy, what a nightmare for him, how far away was he found from where you think he went in?   I'm sure he will be enjoying some TLC and will soon build up his strength again - but I guess he may not go too near the river for a while!!!!!   Bless him.   And thanks for the text Jan, didn't hear it over the noise of the rough cutter, so annoying as I would have known earlier.   Sue X

This morning I wished you a miracle on reunited LOLA patterdale cross's page, as you were so kind posting on there, Annabel, and its actually happened !!  You so deserve your gorgeous boy back. Thank you to whoever was watching over Alfie these last eight days, and thank you to the two fishermen and the firebrigade !! What a story, and indeed a fairy tail ending.

Spoke to Annabel straight after getting the text.  Power to the POSTER and one determined owner spreading the word.  Everyone who was involved in rescuing him are all stars.  Annabel you are already a great helper on DL but now you have had the experience first hand. The papers are interested in following his story and rescue up. A big belated BIRTHDAY Annabel for last week.  Jan x

Hi Annabel, sorry you're getting rubbish from such rotten people, they're the lowest of the low and so sad they're not worth bothering with, but very upsetting nevertheless for you.   Keep thinking positive thoughts for Alfie, we're all still thinking of you and wishing him safely home, also wish I could help more xx

Just spoken to Alfie's mum, the family are doing a brilliant job in their search and spreading the word.  He is in local papers.  Alfie does have a severe skin conditions which needs expensive veterinary treatment.  He is due treatment in the next few weeks and if not treated his skin condition will flair up.  Keelah family will reply to your email shortly.  Jan x

11pm day 3....no news I will check out this link though,,people just keep saying,,oh the weather etc,etc,,and its quite murky in this one too i have found someone with a boat and a kayak?? but the weather has made the entry to the river too muddy to get them on the water, he requested the local council clears the debris and mud away to try and help Alfie,,   not sure if no news is good news...

6pm,,postered more along the riverbank,,spoke to a local boatman,who said if he did go in there would no chance of survival it was just too fast and would have swept him away quickly. I just cannot believe this has happened!! and now just have to wait and see what this week brings if anything,,

10am nothing to report,, Rspca logged him too,,although they are only prepared to look for him if he is sighted and will be rescued, he is on the system now so if they are called out in this area there is a record of him. river authorities notified the fishiries on the river to look out for him too. raining here again , this is the last thing I need.

Have spoken to Annabel --she has and is doing  everything possible to find Alfie. Suggested contacting RSPCA ( everything is worth trying) and see if they would be willing to get a dinghy out to check the area   Be safe Alfie xx

Keep thinking positive Annabel, it may not have happened the way you fear. or maybe he managed to get out further down, has frightened himself and is hiding out for a bit.   Or maybe he just took off after something in the opposite direction before you could see.   Have everything crossed for Alfie, please be safe gorgeous boy.    Sue xx

sue,,,,this river is very wide,deep and has under currents, its very high and fast with the weather wehad,,so to be honest I can only think this is what has happened to Alfie and do not expect a good outcome, The port authorities app handle this but are too short staffed to even bother collecting him even if its reported,,so i am afraid I have postered lost more now and kept them close to the riverbank area, apart from phoning the usual,, I will just have to wait and see, 12.40pm.
