I put my chocolate Labrador into kennels while i was away, that cost me £145 for the fortnight which is about the going rate. Yesterday morning my gate was left open and he got out, afternsearching everywhere for 4 hours i conceded i'd lost him. I phoned the police and put an advert in ASDA in the hope that someone had taken him in. Last night i phoned a number that the police had given me, it's a kennels where strays are taken and thankfully they'd accepted a Chcolate Lab at roughly the same time i'd lost mine. This morning we went to see if it was ours and thankfully it was. The downside is the £50 fee for his keep and compulsory chipping. I love him to bits but he's cost a fortune the last fortnight

, the main thing is that he's back home safe though
