And in that order we will begin this post.
Good News
Mags is recovering well. The hole in his head is healing properly. We will know about the eye in a week's time. He is more playful now and barks a lot.
Good News
I have a couple of people that are interested in taking him in - will need to check their backgrounds etc before i pass him over.
Good News
I found a microchip on him and managed to trace the owner through the breeder.
Bad News
The owner is some chinese educated low life that bought the dog and left it with her mother. This lady sounds like she is in her late 30s and when i did speak with her - sounded very drunk and hung over. She claims that she lost the dog a couple of months ago but doesn't know exactly when as she does not live with her mother. Her mother leaves the gate open for the dog to "run in and out". And one day it just disappeared - little wonder!
I dun really want to return Mags to her seeing as it will happen all over again. I told her to call me back when she's awake. She hasn't to date.
I think it is such a waste when you spend time and money to get the dog back to health only to have its irresponsible owner let the same horrible thing happen again. So i have decided the following:
1) If the owner wants Mags back then she will have to pay for his medical bills in full.
2) if the owner does not call back in a week's time - i will bring Mags back for a couple of days and then rehome him for free.
We'll see and keep this situation updated and posted.
