Its a long story so ill keep to the points. I got a puppy staffy male at 11 weeks. For 5 years he was my beloved pet. One day, out of nowhere, he bit my 11 month old son on the lip. Being to scared to keep him while being heartbroken that he had to go, I found him a new home. For the next year, he got passed from pillar to post at least 3 more homes. Then my daughter found him on a council pound website, the dog warden had picked him up. And before you ask, yes he was microchipped with all my current details which is how they knew his name (Neo) but the website had chip out of date? Not sure how that works but anyway. I drove out there and picked him up. Very emotional and he was so pleased to see me. My heart was breaking that I couldnt just take him home but my family would have not been impressed. I again, found what I thought was a permanant home for him with a lad who had his own flat. That lasted about 4 months then the lad got sectioned for whatever reason. As i didnt know his family I didnt find out for a few weeks. I kept texting him to see how Neo was and after a while he just stopped replying. Eventually his mum answered and said the dog has gone. They took him to Market Harborough to a lady who then took him to a centre/pound, they were very vauge. I am totally gutted. I cannot get him out of my mind. I did contact the microchip company, not that that worked last time, and asked them to inform me if the dog ever comes to their attention. Should I just try to forget about him? Am I being silly?
