I'm sorry Shanagarry, I thought you had rescued him & didn't know that you had rehomed him with a friend, I saw your dog on a friends Facebook page a few days ago with the write up "Can you help? Desperate for a new home" asking for someone to offer to give him a loving home & I misunderstood the situation.
It's just that you are the 3rd family I know who this year have decided that they want to return to the UK & have left their dogs & cats behind. I know through our friends who run the SOS charity that this happens to many, many more every year. I just wish people would think about the long term commitment before they get a dog. The puzzlement, bewilderment & often fear on these animals faces as they wonder what has happened to their family the family that they love & they thought loved them is heartbreaking. A dog is for life not a lifestyle accessory.

I know nothing of this and will call our friends in the morning to try and understand the position.
