Well spotted Belle, Jake looks so much like Murphy. I do hope it is him and that he can be reunited with his family.

2017-05-16 06:40 Belle

Please look at Jake on the RSPCA West Hatch FB page. Long shot, but reminded me of Murphy. xxx https://www.facebook.com/RSPCAWestHatchAnimalCentre/

Murphy would be 15 now, his family are aware that he may no longer be with us but still actively searching for him or at least info as to where he went, missing 4 years today x

Hi, please check the small photo of the dog on this FB page. Am trying to find out where it is as it looks so much like Murphy (to my eyes - maybe to the owners'?)

Just tweeted for Murphy and will now Facebook all my ballooning friends who live in Bristol.....let's hope he is home safe soon xx

2014-01-16 19:01 Seeks

Oh lad I wish you were back home. Will share you to our Pup's page and so hope you will be found soon

2014-01-13 21:13 Unknown

All xd for the safe return of Murphy. Posters, and more posters. As Doglost says "Spread the word" Paws xd.

2014-01-12 12:06 Moonbeam

Many thanks to Doglost for helping a computer duffer to update Murphy's information - so kind.
Also many thanks to a lady whose name I didn't catch, who just telephoned me with suggestion re Vets, and sympathy. Much appreciated. x

Moonbeam. Just a thought. You put a different picture of Murphy on facebook. It was a lovely one of him lying on a sofa I think. Would it be possible to make that your second photo on this page, because he looked quite different and the two already here are so similar. Someone might just recognise the new one. Sending hugs X

2013-12-19 10:43 Moonbeam

Thankyou so much to everyone for all your help and suggestions - I check out every reference sent me but none of the dogs have proved to be Murphy. I think now that he must have been stolen, to have disappeared so quickly. I did tell the police that at the start of this search, and have a Crime Reference Number. All terribly sad.

2013-12-18 09:57 Belle

Any chance this might be Murphy? http://www.doglost.co.uk/poster.php?dogId=61518

I feel so very sad that you have not got your boy back yet. I do hope you can get closure of some sort.

Elderly dog found south Bristol no picture but there is a phone number

I am so sorry you still have not got your boy home but he might well still be alive and ok. Its very hard to have them missing for any length of time and the idea that they may have died seems to never be far away yet he may not have.

I think it more likely someone has taken him in and they don't know he has you out there heartbroken and looking for him. I wish I could find him for you as we have one that has only been gone 4 weeks and its so hard and painful so I really do send you a hug and a hope that your will be able to find out where he is and what happened to him x

Sadly, I have decided that my darling boy, missing since February, is probably already dead - in which case I hope he died quickly. If by any miracle someone took him in and is caring for him I would ask them to please let me know, to set my mind at rest. If he is happy with you I would not take him back but would ask if I might share him, so that his brother (nearly 17 years old) could meet him again and I could hold him again. I would happily pay future Vet's bills in return. Alternatively, the offer of £1,000 reward for safe return still stands.

Advertised in this weeks Countryman's Weekly magazine. I hope it brings some news.

2013-02-28 08:31 Mollychops

Thanks, Murphy only went on the 25th , which is 3 days ago, can you check the date this dog was spotted, Thanks

2013-02-27 23:57 Sally

Copy and pasted from Facebook....Me and my mate spotted a dog like this a week ago walking past currys up to the main fiahponds road, tried to catch it but it growled and ran we kept trying but couldnt get hold of it and it ran up towards the roundabout by morrisons petrol station. Im sure the dog had some sort of red collar . Not sure if this is the same dog but thought id mention it just incase.

2013-02-27 23:37 debbie

Lady on fb asking if murphy was wearing a red collar x

2013-02-27 15:00 gpashley

Shared on FB, Twitter, emailed local park group (Eastville Park), have put up posters in and around the area as has his mum, been asking fellow dog walkers. He's such a lovely little fellow

2013-02-27 14:34 hels81

Have shared on FB. This is the area I usually walk my dog so will have a look around the park and towards Snuff Mills later tonight.

2013-02-27 08:11 Mollychops

Owner was out until very late last night searching the area. There is a big allotment area, and Ive suggested she sarches sheds, etc, and contacts highways people, as very near main roads and motorway. Ive updated the poster, as owner told me last night that Murphy suffers from Auto Immune disease, and is on daily steroids to keep him well.She is going to put him in the local papers too
