After my dog Sasha went missing, I rang the DSPCA, local vets, Garda stations etc but no one had found her. I honestly didn’t think I’d ever see her again and I just hoped that she’d been found by someone who would give her a nice new home & that she was safe.
I received a phone call from a lovely lady called Brenda who had a little brown & white dog who’d been found in the Phoenix park. She asked me did Sasha have a collar, and what colour was it? I told her green leather- I’d bought it in Italy for her last summer. So sorry, said Brenda this collar is black- best of luck finding Sasha. I was really disappointed, but there wasn’t anything I could do.
5 mins later Brenda rang back - the dog's collar IS green :)
I was delighted, I couldn’t believe it!! Sasha had been found!! I can’t remember the last time I was so happy about hearing some news!!
Sasha had been found in the Phoenix park very muddy on Thursday morning, near the President’s residence. One of the members of staff knew Brenda and knew that she had been looking for a dog, so they called her. Brenda & her 2 teenage children could tell the dog was a lost dog, not a stray, so they then set about seeing if anyone had lost a dog. They got onto the internet and found her on www.lostdogs.ie and rang me. :)
If it wasn’t for twitter & the amazing amount of help & support that I received – and people telling me about the websites for lost dogs I would never have found her. I am SO grateful, thank you everyone who helped find Sasha. I am so delighted that there is a happy ending to this story!
As you can see from the picture she is very happy to be at home again. When I picked her up on Saturday I’ve never seen her so excited & delighted to see myself & Goldie. She doesn’t understand how well known she is- this morning on our run someone shouted over to us across the road that they’d seen her in Phoenix park & glad to see we’d been reunited! Let’s hope she’s learned her lesson- I certainly have, she’s not getting off the lead again at night I can tell you!
