I find it heart breaking to see a dog watching, waiting, faithful to the end that their people will come back for them.  They should be ashamed.  I can only hope they are looking for her half as hard as she is lookin for them. 

Jeeze, Steph, it's a HUNTING dog! It can survive on its own! Don't you know ANYthing??? 

Looks like she is having a blast in the pond!! I was hiking with a friend up in the mountains up from where I was living.I got my dog Zane out and he was sniffing the ground and dragged me to an area.I pulled him away from it and looked closer and it was someones dog!! My guess is they took it up there( kinda remote) and shot it!!! Unbelievable!!  Hope you are able to find a good home  for your new dog.

there is an area to the east of us and to the south of us that are heavily hunted in the fall....ducks, pheasant, deer, etc.  every year we see and/or salvage several dogs that have been separated from their owners.  sometimes there is an ad in the paper for "lost dog", sometimes not.  i have seen some really beautiful dogs.  german shorthair, wiemeraner, labs, goldens, you-namer-it.  over the years i have come to the conclusion that most of these dogs are either not trained or poorly trained.  mr. macho shit-head dog owner only gets the dog out of the kennel in the fall to go hunting.  voila, the dog gets lost and its the dogs own fault - after all, it is a hunting dog and that should be bred in.  besides, if he's that stupid, he doesn't deserve to come home.
one of the worst deals and made me the maddest was some folks from about 200 mi away had visited relatives for the holiday and brought their 4 mo old wiemeraner pup along to hunt.  beautiful puppy, obviously very well bred and costly.  pup got lost, ofcourse.  we found him running along the road at night and turned him in to the local vet since he was wearing a collar with a rabies tag.  they were able to locate the owner who in turn sent someone else to pick up the pup.
1)  i would never have left the lost pup in the first place.  i would have searched till i found him.
2) i would not have sent someone else to get him.  i would have gone myself.
3) i would have found out who found my puppy and sent them a thank you or at least a phone call.
after all was said and done, i was sorry that poor puppy went back to the owners.  maybe next time we will look for someone more suitable.  its sad, but too many folks look at dogs as a disposable/replaceable commodity.
