Re: Help! Lost Gordon setter near Sterling CO

GREAT NEWS!!

Popple showed up about 2 weeks later, about 6 miles from the crash site at a house. Skinny, and beat up but alive. He is not the same dog now however, he doesn't want to leave the house. Hopefully in time he will mentally heal as well.

Re: Help! Lost Gordon setter near Sterling CO

Unfortunately popple is still missing. Going on 4 days now :(. My fear is the crash caused internal injuries and after the pups adrenaline wore off the injuries and exposure, and the coyotes, took its toll. Let's hope not.
