Thank you for that, but re microchips, I'm still debating the safety issues of implanting a foreign body in the neck of my pet and causing foreign body reactions, and his brother who has one (I didn't get it put in) when he was lost majorly, the person left him stuck in a garden howling and never bothered to call the police, never mind get the chip looked at, and the company who put it in says they many don't work now and I have passed the free window for checking (his prev owner was ill in hospital and couldn't see the letters) so he has a chip which is probably useless, so it doesn't solve all problems. But I certainly am glad to get my dog back now!

Omg that's just awful shame on the lady for messing you around x but to ensure that everyone knows in future that it's your dog please treat him to a microchip xxxx

FOUND!!!!!! And not without difficulty as the person who had him didn't want to give him back.
In case it would help anyone here is the long version below:
Golf Lost 09-10 November 2014

He's back.!
Took all day. I found out where he had got out - he snapped the corroded heavy duty steel wire that holds the back gate post onto the shed wall. Then he went to Hendon Central station and got on the 113 bus towards Marble Arch. He went round the upper deck saying, “hello,” to all the passengers and a man noticed he didn't seem to be with anyone so took him off the bus at Brent Cross Tesco to his friend's house. I had been away and had a whole raft of people walking dogs, feeding dogs, cats, hens, putting them in and out of garden etc. But the neighbour shutting the hens in the coup and bringing the dogs in at 5pm hadn't been able to find Golf and hadn't told me so, the first thing I knew was when I arrived back at 11pm and he wasn't there.

There was no message on the ansafone but a couple of missed calls. I wrote down the last number redial number from 6pm on the offchance that it might have been someone calling about the dog who hadn't left a message. I texted the number and left a voice mail, “Do you have my dog?" No reply. Nor in the morning after staying up all night calling in the park and around the neighbourhood. I had called the dog warden the previous night and he hadn't been notified. I now called the police to ask if any dead dogs had been brought in, Medivet to check that they would inform the dog warden, Brent animal welfare officer (adjoining borough) who advised me to notify Mayhew, All Dogs Matter and http://www.doglost.co.uk/ and to put posters up. I called the RSPCA and registered on Pets Located and left a message at Battersea.
I printed out the posters from Dog Lost and went to the park to walk my other dogs and put up posters and I texted and voice mailed that number again. After half an hour they called me back. It was a woman who said her freind had found a dog but she was a bit vague. She said he had found the dog at Hendon Central and taken him to Mill hill. She said his dog was black and white, mine is brown and white – but I realised she must have had contact with my dog otherwise how would she have my phone number? So I pressed her a bit...Where was the dog now? Was he in Mill Hill? She had said that her friend had it in Mill Hill and she had said that he should bring it back to Hendon. So I asked, was it in Mill Hill or Hendon? She was very vague and said she didn't know. So I asked if I could have her friend's number so I could ask him?...No..Could she give him my number so he could call me? ..No.. So could she contact him and ask where the dog was?...She would see.
An hour and two hours later I send texts and called but there was no answer. I started to get annoyed. It is my fault that my dog got out – corroded gate post fasteners – and I wasn't in when she phoned – but she hadn't left a message – it was pure luck that I had found the number. If you decide to be kind enough to pick up a dog that seems to be astray, you have an obligation to either contact the owner (and a message on the ansafone would be nice) or the police or council or dog warden, not just cart them between Mill Hill and Hendon Central. I decided that I was going to tell her – by text and voice mail, as she wasn't answering any of my calls, that I would hand the matter over to the police who would then come and interview her and her friend and would know where she lived from her mobile phone reco
