A dog missing for 10 years was recently reunited when its image matched another on Dog Lost UK.

Because pet abandonment is drummed into us in television advertising, someone finding a stray dog may give that pet a home and may not know any found dog must be reported to the local Dog Warden. This means dedicated pet owners still search for their beloved pets.

Any one of us with pets may find ourselves in this situation, so please tell friends and family, locally or afar, about these missing dogs.

Their disappearance occurred between 2011 and 2018. Each public profile is still active on Facebook and Dog Lost UK, and although these dogs will be older now or may have passed away, their owners have closure or their companions’ home.
