I've just picked up a black Lurcher bitch who has been with her finder for 4 weeks!!! and just been handed to me coz they are going away next week 
She hasn't told the Police or Dog Wardens that she found the dog, so for all we know her owner could've been going frantic with worry for the last month 
Pulleeeeezzzzeeee tell people if they find a dog, to notify the Police and Dog Wardens IN THE AREA WHERE THE DOG WAS PICKED UP as well as telling organisation like Lurcher Search UK, Lost Dogs UK, PetSearch etc. Also , if you see any Lurcher posted as missing or found on other message boards........ask the poster if they've notified us at Lurcher Search. We might know something about the dog, but not have an owner's contact details.
Likewise, if you lose a dog, technically you only have 7 days from when the dog is picked up as a stray to when it can be legally "disposed of" by the council pound.........time is an issue here, so don't sit around hoping your dog will wander back home!
If anyone wants ANY help at all with lost/found/stolen dogs, don't hesitate to get in touch with me >kaye@lurcher.org<
Off soapbox now
