Think theres more chance of being struck by lightening max, the miserable sod didn't even thank kisser.I am glad that the dog has been reunited with his owner.I hope that now they will get him microchipped. It does not hurt the dog and makes it easier to reunite him with his owner. The R.S.P.C.A and all vets have scanners to ckeck the chips of lost dogs.

They don't5 deserve to own a dog!
it aint a mistake not to thank the person that found it, its ignorance imho.I assume you are a perfect dog owner, we all make mistakes.
to me that non-act speaks volumes fer the owner.We don't know that the dog-owner didn't thank Kisser, it doesn't actually say they didn't - unless I'm reading it wrong....
Ahh, fair enough then....if it were me, a bottle of the finest 3 for £10 Asda wine would be winging it's way to the finder of my dog!!We do know, Steve, because Kisser told me, Cashy and Keep The Faith at the match yesterday.
yeh obviously dont know me, if it aint right i dont say so.We don't know that the dog-owner didn't thank Kisser, it doesn't actually say they didn't - unless I'm reading it wrong....

Yeah, you lot get to know what's going on in and around town and see a win every now and then!!See, Steve, these misunderstandings wouldn't arise if you'd been there on the Clayton End and heard it "from the horse's mouth" (if Kisser will pardon the expression!).
...but as you prefer to waste your Saturday afternoons with the chicken farmers...![]()
