Collar Mystery

[Charlie]

About a month ago David took Charlie for a walk in the woods. Charlie went off lead keeping in sight but on his return he didn't have his lovely Copenhagen collar on which he has only had for about 2 months. Charlie was quite worried with his tail between his legs. David backtracked to see if he could find it but nothing. We don't know if he got stuck on something and backed out of it or someone grabbed him by the collar and he backed out of it out of fear. Nobody appeared to be around that David could see or hear. Either way a lovely expensive collar is gone. Only Charlie!! x

The collar is replaceable, Charlie isn't. Only he knows what happened.

 

[Charlie]

Absolutely Sue, absolutely. I couldn't bear to think someone tried to take him. xx

 

[Stacia]

Oh dear, I wonder what happened, poor Charlie was obviously upset about something.

 

[Rosie]

Oh lord. Horrid.

 

[Candy]

I can't bear to think about someone trying to take my sweet GGJ. She does tend to stay close to me, but still it would be a worry

Very strange Helen

Did it have a plastic clasp? They can break if the collar is yanked, perhaps caught on a branch. But tail between legs doesn’t sound good.

 

[Charlie]

Yes @M.F. a very strong plastic clasp so that could be an explanation. I guess we'll know, but if it's going to happen to any dog it will be Charlie. x

That's strange isn't it, reminds me of the post - can't remember who from - about the dog who came back with a furless patch on it's leg. Really odd.

 

[Charlie]

That was @Rosie Pongo @Shaz82 It is very odd and worrying due to so many dog thefts. x

 

[MellowYellow]

Ugh that is horrid and would have me very upset too. Thank goodness he is ok.

a furless patch on it's leg

A vet friend looked at the photo for me and said - "yep, we get that with dogs and horses, he's caught it on something and got lucky the skin didn't break."
So no foul play, but I still don't quite see how he could lose all that fur and no skin at all!
