As owners of huskies myself I have been following Murphy's story and was over moon as the news broke on Friday. What a story, could make an excellent film. Chuffed to bits for his family 😊😊

Spoke to very happy owners and have great pleasure in uploading a group REUNITED photo I've done for MURPHY and also added a photo of one of his owners in the Extra Image box (two very happy faces).

What a brilliant result for owners and TEAM MURPHY who have done an outstanding job and got a result. THANK YOU to the RSPCA for making that most important call and fantastic MURPHY is MICRCOHIPPED. The CHIP has actually moved down to his bottom so well done to the RSPCA for giving him a thorough body scan. Owners have been advised to get him CHIPPED again. I've advised they put if on his ID disc about his chips and that one has moved.

The champagne will definitely be popping for a while in the MURPHY household, the other four legged family are letting everyone know they are happy to have him back.

WELCOME HOME MURPHY sending you lots of hugs and cuddles.

just look far and wide. Max was stolen in Herts and after three months was found in Hampshire. Home safe. Proves never the end. Shared paddy's video, bless him. He looks so sad because his friend has gone. Long job but can you send a photo and letter to every vet in the uk? Just incase he gets brought in as a patient?Last edited: 2015-01-14 15:40:07

Morris the bulldog has been seen on a for sale site in oxfordshire ,but the ad was taken down ,maybe we ought to be looking down this route and asking for better pics via txt ect , only an idiot would sell murphy with his own picture now ..
DogLostOwl
Murphy's people have come back to me. They would like to thank you very much for drawing these huskies to their attention. Unfortunately neither of them is Murphy, but please keep looking.
DogLostOwl
Thank you Gillespie. I have forwarded your post to Murphy's team
Gillespie
Hi, i have just seen an ad on facebook for spotted:radcliffe 2 husky found and are being held at Manchester Cheshire dogs home, one of them the one on the right of the pic is very very like Murphy ? Can some one have a look?
sue
Any up date on murthy from last night ?
Newton Viena
I have everything crossed that there is a positive outcome tonight. I am in Plymouth so miles away but my heart is with you all. Good luck xx
DogLostOwl
The husky was seen scavenging opposite the YHA car park, but it was in the dark so all the witness observed was a pale coloured husky. She did not even know that the dog was a husky until it turned to look at her.
DogLostOwl
I can confirm this sighting was at Woodhead Pass not far from Crowden YHA. This is within Shadow's possible area so it is more likely to be him than Murphy from what I can find out so far.

DogLostOwl
I have found out a little more about this, and all we know is that it was a husky scavenging. So could be Murphy, could be Shadow (his people are aware and will be checking area) or could be completely different husky. If anyone sees this roamer, please give us a description. Murphy is red & white, Shadow (husky x malamute) is grey & white.

This is it £700 pound for the safe return of murphy the family have nothing left to offer ...if you have this dog and you could see what impact your actions are having on this family..you would .nt wish on your worst enemy ..this couple dont have much but the little they do have and some kindly donated you can have ..they cant get through a normal day while murphy is missing ..to every one else murphy is just a dog but to this couple murphy is like one of there children ..from one human being to another im on my knees begging you to show some compassion and give murphy back ..just ring Andy Smith on 07759851895 or ste on 07729444529 ..you could have bought him in good faith not knowing he.s a stolen dog ..we dont care about that there will be no question asked we just want murphy home where he belongs ..please do the right thing thank you . This has been on face book a couple of days. Hope you find his owner

The post from Kellie Burton,was originally from Kelly Vodrey.When Murphys owner contacted her,she said it had run away.I'm truly shocked about how casual some people are when they find a pet.Shouldnt it be first see a vet ,then register here.Not go on FB and say " anyone lost a dog ?" I despair !
mrs_pago
Hi, have you seen a Facebook post from someone called Kellie Burton? A dog has been found in Bolton and matches Murphy's description. Apologies if you've already seen this and it's not him.
