it sounds like he possibly could have dumped off by his owner esp. since you haven't gotten a call yet and he had an e collar on him. Good luck I hope he turns out well for you.

Seems like he ran off from his owner. Red blinking light sounds like the collar is running out of juice.

Red Blinking light on the collar simply indicates that it is turned on. The blinks become slower and further apart as the battery weakens. It will turn off on its own when the battery dies. That could be up to 30 days unless activated frequently. Much like a walkie-talkie, they will last a lot longer if used infrequently to transmit.

Prox ... forgive me in advance for being blunt but I question how hard you've really looked for the owner. Ads in local papers and craigslist under lost and found, contact with several vets in the area where you got him letting them know what you've found, posters with picture at convenience stores,/gas stations in the area, contact with animal shelters and rescue sites ... these are only a few of the things that can be done to help reunite the dawg and owner. By the way, some dawgs get an ID tattoo inside the ear flap or inner thigh. Also ... microchips can and do "migrate" from where they were placed on the neck/shoulder area. Have the dawg re-scanned by an experienced tech.

There should be a brand name and/or model number on the receiver. Look for the manufacturers name and a serial number. If registered for warranty with them, that could lead you right to the owner.

If I've insulted you, that wasn't my intent. I'm simply saying that I would hope if you lost a loved gun dawg, that whoever found him would put forth more effort to get him back to you than you've said you've done so far. But maybe you just want to keep him anyhow?

Whoa whoa whoa, Miss Lippy. The part of the story I don't like is that the little boy gave up looking for Happy after an hour. He didn't put posters up or anything, he just sat on the porch like a goon and waited. That little boy's gotta think 'You got a pet. You got a responsibility.' If your dog gets lost you don't look for an hour then call it quits. You get your butt out there and you find that flippin' dog.

Was Miss Lippy the creepy one who put glue on her face?
