Dog back home after seven years

A dog has been reunited with its owner after seven years.

Lyn O'Byrne, from Brighouse, West Yorks, had her Lurcher, Rhia, stolen from the veterinary practice where she worked in Kent in January 2001.

Last week she received a call from the Lost Dogs and Cats Line at Battersea Dogs and Cats Home to say they had a dog registered to her address.

Ms O'Bryne was traced through a microchip inserted into the scruff of the dog's neck containing her details.

'Happy ending'

She said: "When I received the call I didn't twig why The Lost Dogs & Cats Line were calling me. I thought it might be something to do with my work.

"When they said they had a dog at Battersea called Rhia, registered to my name and address I literally collapsed on the floor."

She travelled to the home and was reunited with Rhia, who she said was in good health apart from appearing a little underweight and having a few additional cuts and bruises.

Scott Craddock, from Battersea Dogs and Cats Home, said: "So far this year Battersea's Lost Dogs and Cats Line has reunited over 2,100 lost dogs and cats with their owners.

"We are hoping Lyn's happy ending encourages more people to get their pet microchipped and update their details if they move."

Must have been the seven-year-itch.

You can run but you can’t hide.

...and no, I don’t know why I looked in the Chat forum

He heard about that cat.

“...that’s 49 to you and me.”

Canine help it if I’m fido this topics at random intervals?

Research indicates dogs have some ability to read minds

Jest who do you think you are? Bark Obama?

It seems that PETA would be all over this story, seeing how it infringes on animal rights. Sovereignty really has gone to the dogs, if I may be permitted a bit of word-play, it's four feet, under.

In other news, not particularly healthy or rodent-tolerant, I will claim Top Dog for this QUADRUPLE wordplay pun:

Posit poodling the pandering of puppage is purely presstitutional propaganda !~

[ElkGroveDan]

When I received the call I didn't twig why The Lost Dogs & Cats Line were calling me.

Since when is "twig" a verb?

[skinkinthegrass]

P-p-p-p-p-p-p-p....never mind. :)

Perspicacious premise; pondering plausibility:

Ponderous punctuation portends prosaic Prozac.

ROTFLMAO!!

[stephenjohnbanker]

“Perspicacious premise; pondering plausibility”

I love that word perspicacious. I have been throwing that word at people all my adult life. Only one person knew it’s meaning.

LMAO!

[Revolting cat!]

Stupid animals!

[Squantos]

Persistent posthumous pressuring of peers is purely preposterous .........punt !

[The Spirit Of Allegiance]

Paranoiacally polling pugnacious Pugs possibly precludes pwned precipitates.

Not just who’ll stop the rain but who owns it? I’m skeered.

[Squantos]

Rain ?!?!?!.........looked like nothing but Pee !..........:o)

Stay safe ....excellent !
