2013-07-16 18:31 duffs54

Just come back from hols and am catching up with my watched dogs, so very sad to see that Star didn't make it home to lozza for a new start xxxxx

2013-07-12 07:19 Paula Griffin's Mum

so sad, he was a real free spirit wasn't he & Lozza you're his Angel, RIP Star x

2013-07-11 20:47 Unknown

Such a sad ending. Presume he was abandoned some time ago? thanks Lozza for laying Star to rest in your garden. Sure he is having fun at the bridge now with Ruby, and Bryn, and others. RIP+ Star. A~~~candle~~~burns for Star. Thanks again Lozza for your ,kindness to him (HUG)

2013-07-11 19:55 Laura

in tears reading this sad story of star. I am so sorry to read it ended this way, Lozza you tried so hard. my thoughts are with you xxx

2013-07-11 15:14 k9chum

How very sad that when STAR had someone who truly cared and tried so very hard to help him that the unthinkable should happen. Lozza you went above and beyond to help this lad after so many years alone and one day you will meet up again and this time he will run to you and say thank you.
RIP Star and bless you Lozza for caring.

2013-07-11 14:07 Moocher

I am so sorry that this story didn't have the happy ending that it truly deserved. My thoughts are with you Lozza, you tried so hard to get Star home. I am sure that he is at the Bridge knowing that someone cared and is missing him. RIP beautiful boy.

2013-07-11 13:57 Unknown

So sorry.....RIP at the bridge xx

2013-07-11 13:27 Nora

I hope your doing ok Lozza.
It is a beautiful poem, I hope it brought you some comfort, star is in a beautiful happy place.
It always makes me cry, and I always think of my all my dogs, I think when my turn comes I will be probably knocked flat by the whole pack of them when we meet again

Rainbow Bridge

Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.

When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge.

There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together.
There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.

All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by.
The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.

They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent; His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.

You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.

Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....

lozza, I've not been on here since I last posted on 30.06.13 and have not long finished reading all the posts, could not believe how it has ended, you have been truly amazing. So close but so far. So sad to see he has now gone to Rainbow Bridge. :( Sending you a big hug and cuddle.

I've done a Rainbow Bridge photo for the gorgeous Star (you will need to refresh the page to view the photo).

Run Free at the Bridge and sweet dreams Star, you have touched so many hearts in your last days. xxx

2013-07-10 10:29 Carol

Amazing isn't the word there is no word that can describe the kindness that Lozza has shown star xxx would nt it be great if everyone was a Lozza , there would be no more suffering dogs in the world ,:-( and he had a kiss and cuddle from her his first for many years stay strong Lozza xxxxxxx

2013-07-10 09:29 lesleyjane

How tragic....so sorry it ended this way, Lozza. As many have said, at least he knew some kindness towards the end....and really glad the council is bringing him to his final resting place with you. Keep strong, you are amazing.xx

2013-07-10 08:22 Nora

I hope you are ok Lozza
xxx hugs xxx

2013-07-09 22:22 DogLostMillypod (Chris) - Administrative Volunteer

So very sorry it was such a sad ending but Lozza you should be very proud of what you have done for Star at least he knew someone cared for him in his last few weeks and he has a lovely resting place.
Run free at Rainbow Bridge little one :((

2013-07-09 21:53 Unknown

very very sad ending to a gorgeous boy, that was feral for so long. Wonder if the little terrier in the park was one that had just got out or was she looking for for Star. Have fun at the bridge beautiful Star. x

2013-07-09 19:55 DogLostMax - Area Co-ordinator - Cornwall & Area Volunteer - Durham & Ireland

Oh I can't believe what I am reading. I was really hoping it wasn't Star.
Lozza I am so sorry for you, I am crying my eyes out here.
It is nice that the council are going to let you bury him in your garden.
You did your best, you will be reunited one day at Rainbow Bridge & he will give you the biggest kiss ever, because he will know how much you loved him.

2013-07-09 19:50 Tan

I have been following this post and am so sad for you Lozza, I was so hoping to read you had found Star but in happier circumstances. I hope you are OK and we are all thinking of you.-

2013-07-09 15:54 Carol

Oh Lozza I am crying again you are such a lovely person , great news that you can have him home with you in your garden rather than dumped in an incinerator when you have buried him and put the stone on send us all a picture then we can all say a prayer , I was hoping it wasn't him , at least he is getting a lovely burial , oh Lozza I wish I was there to hug you , keep in touch my email is chillhouse1@hottmail.com sending hugs for you xxxx

2013-07-09 13:02 Timmy's Mummy

I wonder if the council checked for a micro chip? Just a thought seeing as Star was wearing a collar. Bless you Lozza xxxx

2013-07-09 11:57 Nora

This is such sad news, my heart goes out to you Lozza, you tried so very hard to get Star to safety, run free beautiful boy xxx

2013-07-09 10:46 DogLostSpringerMad - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

That is really a lovely idea. I hope you can take some comfort that you have brought him 'home'. RIP Star, run free at the bridge xx

2013-07-09 10:23 lozza

ive got star a new collar to be burried with, and ive ordered a little stone for the garden with the words " gone but never forgotten, up in the sky you are the brightest star", im so emotional today cant keep my tears back ;( xxx

2013-07-09 10:11 lozza

i rang back this morning an it was deff a border collie, i explained how i had been trying so hard to catch him and the bond i felt i had with star, i am so gratefull for everybody on here for the amound of support and love shown i cant thank u all enough x i am allowed to have star burried in my own garden he is getting dropped off here between 1 and 2 by 2 lovely council men who understand i need him close to me. xxx

2013-07-09 08:11 Nora

Lozza, I hope you are ok, I cried my self to sleep last night, and I did not even know him like you did.
Perhaps Springermad might be right, perhaps if it is not too hard for you, you could ring the council back and ask if he was a border collie, i also thinks he looks like he has a bit of springer spaniel in him, and if he was wearing the same collar, or you could give Doglost the number to ring for you, if that is ok with Doglost, this also might give you some closure if it was star, you seem to be a very kind and sensitive soul and i wonder if you will forever looking and just hoping it wasn't star.
It is possible may have been another B&W dog around, either roaming or just got out, it is not a uncommon colour.

Lozza - Did they actually say it was a border collie? Or just a black and white dog? I think they need to give you a bit more info, as you cannot be 100 percent this is star just from that description? Hope you are ok x

2013-07-09 02:47 Carol

I have been thinking if star was knocked down on Friday that was the 5th u last saw him on the 1st so where was he from the 1st to the 5th I have a feeling this may not be star that was in the RTA keep looking for him incase xxxxx

2013-07-09 02:41 Carol

Lozza i wonder if council would let you bury him in your garden , that would be fitting as you were his friend xxxx

2013-07-09 02:36 Carol

Oh no Lozza I couldn't sleep so I thought I would come on and see if any news on star , I am crying while typing , oh Lozza all the time we thought he might haves a lady friend ,oh this is awful Lozza I know he thought of you as his friend as he came into next doors garden and ate the food and played with the bowl , all the years he has been streetwise he now gets killed how very sad I am beside myself with unhappiness , Lozza you were his friend for a while and he trusted you it's the rest that let him down RIP star you didn't deserve this little man xxxx you are are a good person Lozza god bless you xxxxxxxxx

2013-07-08 23:47 Julie B

Lozza, i am so very sorry to hear this sad news. You tried so hard to help him and it is so sad that if only he had of had the courage to be friends with you his life could have been so different. I am sure he knew deep down that you were there to help him and you must take comfort with the bond that you and he had .... even if it was only for a short while. Rip gorgeous Star xx

2013-07-08 21:27 Nora

I am so sorry Lozza, so sad, you did your best for him, and because of you, he got to know some real human kindness xxxx

2013-07-08 20:58 lozza

the dog that was hit by a car, was black and white, a male and thin, apparently people tried to catch hold of him but he got scared and ran out into oncoming cars, i am devestated cryed for hours, it can only be star, i felt so close 2 star really enjoyed seeing him, i was so close im gonna miss him terribly xxx ;(

2013-07-08 18:41 Nora

2013-07-08 17:54 lozza

2013-07-08 17:39 Nora

Don't know why you have been pinked Lozza, I am sure it is a mistake as I saw your comment earlier could not see anything to offend anyone

2013-07-08 16:16 DogLostMax - Area Co-ordinator - Cornwall & Area Volunteer - Durham & Ireland

Just been catching up. Hope Star is resting somewhere nice & will soon show himself.
Lozza, don't give up hope, you are doing a fantastic job, let's hope he rewards you soon.
Hope the other dog isn't him, but so sorry for whoever the poor mite is & it's owners.

2013-07-08 15:42 Nora

I would have thought star had been living by his wits for too long to get hit by a car, I hope it not him, but so sad.
Fingers and paws all crossed Lozza xx

2013-07-08 13:19 DogLostSpringerMad - Area Volunteer, East Sussex

Oh no.Hopefully it is not star, but very sorry for whoever the poor dog belongs to.

2013-07-08 13:13 lozza

i have everything crossed its not star, so sad even if its not, xxx

2013-07-08 13:12 lozza

yeah ive rang around kennels, i rang council earlier today they said they had a fatality of a dog being knocked down on friday in my area but cant disclose any more info just yet, there gna ring me later this evening when they have more info x

2013-07-08 01:10 Lady 0wl

I have been following this thread daily and keeping everything crossed that you find him soon. Have you checked with the animal wardens and kennels if he has been handed in?

2013-07-07 23:33 lozza

haha :D, aww little stars id take them all home haha x

2013-07-07 23:25 Carol

I reckon the brown dog has got loose and he is after her, oh dear there maybe little stars lol !!!!!! Xxxxxx

2013-07-07 15:08 lozza

was extreemly weird last night tho me and my partner walked my dog gena in the park at about 10 and we seen a brown terrier dog roaming the park on its own a female so mabe shes in heat and hes hiding close by, the dog had a collar and tag so she must of escaped, she neither would cum near us and ran off xxx

2013-07-07 15:05 lozza

thanks for the possitive comments :) x well when i moved in here nora he was very very thin, but then seemed to have put on a little, ive asked around here and no body seems to have seen him either, but you are right he knows shildon well, i was thinking mabe someone else has been feeding him or yeah its more likely hes found girl doggie in heat lol, xxx

2013-07-07 10:57 Nora

Lozza, how skinny is he?

2013-07-07 10:55 Nora

He has been around for over 4 yrs now and knows the area very well, and as he has stayed in the same area all this time he is probably still about, there could be a few reasons you haven't seen him, he could have a neglectful owner that is keeping him in (so he does need a nice mum) or as suggested, there could be a bitch on heat that has distracted him, or someone else might be feeding him (perhaps he is a player lol)
Borders are very intelligent, he will remember you, I am sure you will see him again soon, so stay positive xx

2013-07-06 22:57 Carol

Awwwww Lozza he will come back I have every faith in him perhaps he has found a bitch on heat, cos my dog doesn't want to know us if there is a bitch on heat int the park ha ha , so don't worry just keep us up to date cos I am so worried about star as its hot now but they say a dog will always find water :-) xxxxx

2013-07-06 08:51 lozza

2013-07-03 16:58 Carol

Lozza I wish I was nearer too ,if the weather is wet he will go to ground for a while he had a full tummy by his standards so will be ok , star will appear again soon when he wants food and water , we have it wet here today although warm , you are doing great job my love ,star will appear soon , you are too good for words and so dedicated he is probably watching your every move :-))) xxxxxxxx

Last edited: 2013-07-03 16:59:48 by Carol

2013-07-03 10:14 Nora

I wish I was nearer to come and help.
Don't get to upset, try to stay positive, I am sure he is ok, when the weather picks up I am sure he will be out and about again.
when a decent meal has been so few and far between, and doesn't know when his next meal will be, his tummy food clock doesn't work too well, when we are used to regular meals at certain times, we always get start to get hungry shortly before, we have conditioned ourselves to, I expect he has lost this conditioning, but when the weather perks up, i expect he will start thinking "about that nice kind lady with the yummy food"

2013-07-03 09:19 lozza

im beside myself, ive not seen star and the food hasnt been touched again either, i was out most of the day yesterday looking for him and again thru the night, ive rang cat and dog shelters just incase he had been picked up but they havent picked up a collie recently. im using my phone to update on here and im at the track as i type but still no sign x

2013-07-03 09:01 Carol

Fingers crossed you saw him or food has gone xxxx

2013-07-03 07:44 Nora

There are a lot of fingers and paws crossed for this little guy......and that is just in my household lol, hoping you will see him today

2013-07-03 07:16 Julie B

Did you manage to see him again yet Lozza ? Xx

2013-07-03 00:14 Carol

So close yet so far , yes his tummy would have shrunk so he may be full .....he may come around tonight oh god please let him be safe somewhere xxx

2013-07-02 18:58 lozza

yeah your right nora, he prob knows so many hidey places thatl keep him dry, xxx

2013-07-02 18:18 Nora

Don't worry he has survived this long, they are very intellect and have good memories, I expect he will be back.
as the weather is a bit miserable, he may be curled up asleep somewhere dry, he has had a good meal, his stomach has probably shrunk, and he is not used to regular meals.

2013-07-02 11:36 Timmy's Mummy

Or even sausage xxx

2013-07-02 11:35 lozza

good idea timmys mummy i will do that thank you xxx

2013-07-02 11:29 Timmy's Mummy

I expect the food he has had will have filled him up for a few days. Maybe he has worms and needs worming. Next time you are throwing him treats throw bits of 'wormer' dipped in pate. I have to do this for my BC, if I mix them in his food he only licks them clean and puts them on the floor next to his bowl!

2013-07-02 10:12 lozza

i have been really worried, the food hasnt been touched and i didnt see him this morning either, ive been walking the streets asking people if theyd seen him, the weathers not very good so its got me more worried, im going to have another walk around the whole of my area to see if i can spot him xxx

2013-07-02 09:21 Carol

Hope he came around last night to sleep in the box xxx

2013-07-01 23:22 DogLostMax - Area Co-ordinator - Cornwall & Area Volunteer - Durham & Ireland

Best of luck tonight, hope Star turns up.

2013-07-01 22:47 lozza

aww thank u everyone, i didnt see him at the track again tonight but ive got the food on stand by incase he makes an apperance in the early hours, ive also taken the advice and placed a box with an old jumper in thank u xxx

2013-07-01 20:32 DogLostreggiemollieros

Like everyone else, so pleased to hear this progress. Praying hard for you and Star x

2013-07-01 18:33 Julie B

Lozza you are an Angel and Star - well ..... you go together just perfect. I have been watching this thread unfold and after you didn't see him yesterday I was also concerned. He obviously feels safe around you - and all the time you are feeding him he will stay around. The way he is starting to bond with you makes me feel he will gain your trust completely very soon. I haven't posted until now - but I look forward to seeing your posts on a daily basis and look forward to the day of seeing a pic of him curled up indoors, which I think will be very soon. xxx

2013-07-01 18:10 Tobys Mum

This is wonderful news, what an angel you are Lozza. I wonder if he would use a shallow box placed nearby to sleep in with an old towel/piece of clothing in it, with your scent on it. Is there any where with a bit of cover that you could leave it, somewhere safe & dry but far enough away not to undo the trust you have already gained. If he sleeps on it for several nights that may build up more trust too :-). Well done & thank you for all you are doing xx

Oh Lozza a star for a star how heart wrenching to think he trusts you after just a few days really , sounds to me that he wants to be rescued am so excited it has made my day , plus he knows its you because of your scent big smiles today Lozza :-)))) xxxxxx

2013-07-01 13:57 lesleyjane

Well done so far, Lozza, I really hope your patience is rewarded very soon and that Star is curled up on your sofa! x

2013-07-01 11:43 Nora

Great name, you must of been so excited and relieved see him coming back after not seeing yesterday. I know I was getting a little worried.
You are doing everything exactly right, and he will be back soon, I am sure of it
And your a star too xx

ive named him star, because thats just what he is, my little star im so proud of him xxx

2013-07-01 09:07 Shereen

Aww thats lovely ..Well done lozza...im sure your making him smile too with his food and some late company!

2013-07-01 09:02 lozza

got woken up at 3am by noises coming from the back, i was amazed to see he had eating the food and was playing with the empty bowl, i sat for 45 mins talking quietly so he would get used to my voice, i was chucking treats for him, only a low brick wall stood inbetween us, i am so proud of him for staying close for that long, and watching him play with the food bowl put a smile on my face xxx

2013-07-01 00:04 Carol

Lozza can't wait for news tomorrow , wish other people are as kind as you xxxxxx

2013-06-30 21:31 DogLostreggiemollieros

Sorry you did not see him tonight. Thinking of you and him and hoping you'll get closer to him soon.

2013-06-30 21:11 lozza

i didnt see him at the track again tonight, i can only hope he comes near my way ive set down food and water in each empty garden on either side of me, ill be keeping a watch out tonight to see if i can see him :) xxx

2013-06-30 19:44 DogLostMax - Area Co-ordinator - Cornwall & Area Volunteer - Durham & Ireland

Stay nice & safe until you can trust lozza enough to let him catch you.xx

2013-06-30 12:02 Nora

I am hoping that your example might make others think a little round your way and help you with making him safe

2013-06-30 11:59 Nora

That is very encouraging lozza, he is starting to trust you, and is coming nearer, BC's are incredibly intelligent (although I might be a bit biased lol) so I don't think it will be long, he is learning that you are kind and no threat to him, dogs can be very instinctive this way too, my dogs always Suss out the soppy dog lovers pretty quickly and take advantage lol

2013-06-30 11:22 Carol

Oooh Lozza sounds like he may have picked up on ur scent, wow if he has that would be amazing as you are probably the only one that has shown him kindness I can't wait for the next comment Lozza its on my mind all of the time good luck xxx

2013-06-30 09:40 lozza

aww ray sounds like one amazing man his story made me cry x i was a bit worried as i didnt see him this morning but an old lady said she saw him next to the fish shop on dean street made my day as i live 2 doors from that fish shop, mabe he picked up on my smell i do hope so, i have empty houses on both sides of me so i am going to leave out food and water then he might learn that theres always food here, wow hes actually closer than i first thought x

2013-06-30 01:27 DogLostMajorjet (Jan) - Area Co-ordinator - Liverpool/Merseyside, North West

Great to come home and see all the comments.

lozza you can print posters directly from this page, select 'View Poster' just above the comments. If he has been living rough for so long he is not in any immediate danger and is proving he can well look after himself until someone manages to take him in. Great that he is good with other dogs.

Donna is Reunited 49243. Have a look at her wonderful story Lozza.......just shows you what can happen with wonderful people like you, dedicated to catching these lovely furbabies. Good luck xx

Lozza you are an angel, from all us dog lovers who are too far away to help - thank you. You have received lots of good advice and I am sure with time you will build up a bit of trust. I was following the thread of a German Shepherd that was straying for over a year on a rubbish tip. She was eventually caught with the help of a very special man called Ray. The dog was eventually called Donna and Ray adopted her too. This dog is meant for you xx

aww your a lovely woman nora for doing what u have for your dog, i saw him tonight only for a quick five mins tho, there was some other ppl there and i think he was just 2 scared, tomorrow i shall do it again xx

2013-06-29 20:19 Nora

Hopefully soon Iozza,
they are lovely dogs, he will probably make a wonderful pet despite his trauma, our BC girl suffers two years of appalling abuse before we rescued her 4 years ago, it took a bit of time and a lot of patience, but she is a love sponge, she is a sweet gentle dog

2013-06-29 16:11 DogLostreggiemollieros

All at my house hoping you'll get there lozza.

2013-06-29 14:17 Nora

Jan, sounds just like my girl, she has got raggies and balls all over the place, she is very spoilt.

2013-06-29 14:05 DogLostMajorjet (Jan) - Area Co-ordinator - Liverpool/Merseyside, North West

lozza you are doing a grand job and will gain his trust. If it is o.k. and the weather is fine I would just sit off somewhere reading a book so he gets used to you being in the area and sees you are no threat to him. Bet once he is in someones care he will be loving. My BC is very much retrieving mad and would fetch a ball on a rope or toy over food any day. We went to a doggy party and while the others were after the food she just wanted someone to through her ball/rope. Even turned chicken away which was offered to her by others as the party.

We are all rooting for you and look forward to seeing a picture of him with you.

Thanks a millions to everyone for showing your support. xxx

Poor lad, as a border collie owner I know how intelligent and sensitive these dogs are, he is so lucky you came along, now he has a chance of a good life, his plight will touch many hearts, so I bet a lovely forever home will be found quickly.
Your patience will be rewarded x

2013-06-29 10:35 Spindle

Sounds like this is one clever collie. One of the dogs I have dealt with took 13 months to eventually catch. He too was desperate for canine company after some time. Take things slowly, food need to be put down same time every day. If a trap is planned it needs careful planning. If hes been out that long he will be extremely street wise. Good luck with getting him to safety.

2013-06-29 10:07 Carol

Lozza I couldn't sleep last night either , keep up updated at least he will come for food so with a trap he will be caught keep us updated , it makes you want to cry xxxx

2013-06-29 09:16 lozza

its hard to sleep at night as hes on my mind constantly, i just want him to be safe and to have the loving home he deserves x i look at my dog and think he shud have what mine has, a loving home and family, ive had my dog sinse i was 17, shes an old girl now, but i could never imagine her out on the street not even for a night, id die for my dog shes my baby my world, xxx

2013-06-29 09:02 lozza

i seen him again this morning and this time i was armed with a bowl and a tin of dog food, he came closer 2 me but ran off once he ate, he needs a vet as he has a sore on his back end, ive rang neighbour hood warden and the police, the police are going to try again with a trap but they say hes smart, im touched at how many caring ppl there are out there, he has so many old scars on him 2, x

2013-06-29 06:30 Nora

And well done and a big hug for caring enough to help him, it makes me angry that this has been going on for four years until you come along

2013-06-29 06:26 Nora

Would a stray of four years be wearing a collar that appears to fit? especially if he has been a stray for that long and is so thin, mine can never keep a collar that long, they wear them out every couple of years, if it is the puppy, someone else has obviously had him for awhile.
Maybe he is allowed to stray, has a owner who is not bothered, but whatever the reason, this poor boy does need help, food is the way to go to get his trust, he may be frightened because of human abuse, so be careful he might nip, purely out of fear.
And it is still possible it could be Ben.
Good luck x

2013-06-28 21:40 lozza

thank you to all, i take pocket full of treats everytime i walk my dog just incase i can entice him to come to me, hes a gorgeous dog but so thin and scared x

2013-06-28 21:34 DogLostreggiemollieros

Lozza, I'm sharing his photo on Facebook and twitter, in case anyone recognises him. I hope you can win his confidence.

lozza you are doing a great job. I've updated the details now to show up on the DL poster if needed.

2013-06-28 21:17 lozza

thank you, i do feel a bit silly now as i have just googled the bearded collie and they look totaly diffrent from border collies, back to square one, im going to keep on trying thank you again for all your help, somebody somewere must know something x

2013-06-28 21:15 DogLostOwl

Whoever this dog is, he needs to be caught (may be a long and patient task) and identified. He may even have a chip.

2013-06-28 21:14 DogLostMajorjet (Jan) - Area Co-ordinator - Liverpool/Merseyside, North West

Details that were posted above by lozza:

Shildon area, still roaming but with the right help im sure i can catch him,he knows the shildon area well
.....

From Other Info: i moved 2 shildon in march and see him all the time other residents say hes been a stray 4 some yrs now,hes terrified of ppl but runs and plays with my collie,lizzie i hope he is your ben who went missing as a pup 4 yrs ago id love 2 reunite him with u.he has a collar but ive not been able 2 get near him 2 check if theres a number on it.

2013-06-28 21:11 DogLostMajorjet (Jan) - Area Co-ordinator - Liverpool/Merseyside, North West

I've cropped the photo to bring him closer, he looks contented in the photo. I'll update the breed to Border Collie. Well done for all you are doing for him. x

You will need to refresh the page to view updated photo
