There's a dog in my house

[Freezby]

There's a Labrador in my house and I don't know where it's come from. DH appears to of left the back door unlocked by mistake, but it was shut? He's at work and knows nothing about it, I've just got home from work and I have acquired a dog. Collar but no ID tag. What is going on?! How did it get in?! Can labradors open and close doors? My little King Charles cavalier spaniel seems to think he's his new best friend so has obviously enjoyed this unplanned play date (thank god a friendly dog decided to break into my house and not an aggressive one) no idea how long this lab has been here but house has been empty besides our dog since 11am. Someone please tell me how this is possible. I'm baffled. Waiting for DH to get back with the car so I can get him to a vets before they all shut and see if he's chipped.

Glad there's a happy ending for him. He sounded lovely from the original post

Thanks for updating OP! Very sad to hear about his owner passing but a wonderful end to the story that he got his forever home with you.

So sorry to hear about your neighbour, but how wonderful that Chester has moved into the home he chose. Lovely that the daughter got in touch with you to ask, and how wonderful you are for taking him in! Here's to many happy years together!

(Now that your pup and Chester have managed to sort this out do you think they could move on to sorting Brexit?)

So glad Chester has a new forever home, he had obviously got you earmarked OP.

It’s a shame to read about Chester’s owner, but he has another lovely home with you and I hope you all have many wonderful years together!

Such sad circumstances but what a lovely ending for Chester and you. And the previous owner’s daughter will know he has gone to a home where he will be well looked after and loved

I’m pms-ing and this update has pushed me over the edge. I can’t stop crying. Chester you are one lucky sod!!!

Thank you @Freezby

Oh bless her, him and you for being so kind.

I'm crying actual tears.

Oh freezby what a lovely update, I hope you have very many happy years with him x

That's a wonderful update!

Oh op that's both sad but also lovely that you took him in.

Please can we have a picture of Chester now? I'm so pleased he's settled in.

Lovely outcome for Chester.

Ohhh I didn't see this thread at the time, glad he got a happy ending though very sad for the family of course.
Have you had your baby OP?

I love a happy ending. So pleased for him that he has a new family who love him.

Having seen the date on this thread before I started reading I was really really hoping that was the final outcome.

Oh I so happy for Chester and his new best buddy!

I remember this thread, what a sad and lovely outcome!

Lovely news, how's he settled in? Any pics?

I've seen so many sad things on here today, and many happy ones, and this is both. So glad Chester is loved.

oh that's both sad and happy news

That's made me well up a bit! So pleased he has found another loving home. Can we have a pic please?

What a wonderful tale! ❤️
