Dodger and the Dog .... What's Next

[MrDK]

In a good deed Dodger rescues a dog after a disturbing vehicular accident.
In the aftermath there seem to be a conflict in emotions. “Cannot keep the dog”, “It’s a little darling” to hinting “Love….”
The real question is what will happen to the dog now?

PS: This poll is public.

That's what happened to 'Trafford' (Good name eh?) my border collie. My son wanted to call him Giggsy or Cantona but I relented at Trafford.

I had a 6 months stint with the UN in Kosovo and when I came back he had ermmmmmmm "Run off"............to a local farmer..........for £50..........Saying that, it was the best thing that ever happened to him, he became a cow dog! Brought the cows in for milking twice a day, opening gates, closing gates, into the shed (He didn't actually connect them to the machines, but with a bit of training!!) Then he took them back out into the fields and again, closed the gate after himself. Bloody brilliant dog our Trafford (Farmer called him Jack) The kids wanted a dog, I relented and did they take it out for a walk ever? Nah! Dad did, mostly when it was raining or I had to be up early. Good on a jog though!

He's Dead now! Strange eh?

Just as well really, as they can be a right pain in the backside when you want a holiday or even going to the shops in the UK. Walkies twice a day and insurance against biting old ladies etc. I had a six foot fence around my garden in Dorset and Trafford flicked his nose at it. Straight over in a single bound, I had to use the gate to chase the postman!

I've even given up on Guppies now, too much hassle, too much death.

I went home to Ireland for two weeks.When I got back to Patong my GF had a whole family of pups moved on to the porch "to keep them out of the rain".

Some of them are still with me.

I don't mind them they can be fun to have around.

So sad!! Lost one that way myself! She was a good dog, if a bit of a handful, mischievous, with a mind of her own!

A summary after 3 days ....

• About 2/3 believe that Dodger (voluntary or involuntary) will keep the dog
• None believe that he will just kick it out
• 12% believe the dogs name should have been named "Deli"
