Wufra is now a finalist in PDSA Pet Survivor of the Year!

Will has turned into the most gentle of characters. He's still very jumpy and suspicious, but getting more confident by the day.
He hates raised voices, so I'm training Brian to speak like a girl, lol.
He has only just started meeting my gaze - preferring to turn himself inside out in submission.
I got told off by the vet, though, because when he goes out in the garden he's full of the joys of spring and tries to do 'wall of death' round the lawn! I must try to keep him calm...
Don't know if he's younger than we thought or just happy to be alive, bless.
Please don't forget to vote for him in the PDSA Pet Survivor of the Year.

Text VOTE WILL to 70099.

If he doesn't win, it doesn't matter, because he's happy and that's the main thing. Love him.

Jo-jo - The lady who coordinated the funding for his vet teatment and went in every day to see him at the vets has him at her home. From her facebook page, it appears she will be his new mum.

2013-11-08 16:46 Bo

Update from Helen's facebook page

He was very quiet today, but I didn't hold it against him. He's been through a lot.
The vet is very pleased with how the op went. He showed me the x-rays and it looks like a really neat job, with a plate and screws. His leg will probably turn out a little at the ankle, and will be about a centimetre shorter than the other. But, if that's as bad as it gets, then it's a miracle.
We're hoping that he will be able to come home after the weekend.
Please form an orderly queue...

2013-11-08 11:18 Paw

Brilliant news!and thanks for keeping us "non-facebook" folks updated. Will keep checking on his progress.

2013-11-07 18:57 Bo

We have fantastic news - from Helen's facebook page.

Vet has just phoned...
GOOD, GOOD, GOOD NEWS!!
He has FOUR, yes FOUR legs! All mended, came through surgery fine.

2013-11-06 22:14 Bo

Wufra may have his op tomorrow (07th), he is being prepped (no food) just in case.

2013-11-04 18:33 Bo

Today's update, direct cut and paste from Helen's facebook page;

Two weeks later. Wufra is making progress, very slowly. He is behaving more like a dog, sniffing and cleaning himself. He is still not well enough to have his operation, I'm afraid. Tony (his vet) is talking maybe the end of the week. Please everyone, keep everything crossed for our beautiful boy.

Everything crossed for Wufra and his upcoming op xx

2013-11-02 17:49 Esther

Fingers crossed that goes well. This dog so deserves a great outcome. As do all the people who have put so much in to helping him. Well done

2013-11-02 16:21 Bo

Wufra continues to do well - he now weighs 18.6kg and his operation to try and save his broken leg should take place this week .

2013-10-31 20:17 Bo

All good

From Helen Coates facebook page;
Wufra update;
Had a lovely visit with him tonight, delivered lots of cuddles and had a few in return.
All the news is still positive. Every day he's a little stronger, a little bit 'fatter' and a little bit brighter. Come on, fella, you can do it...

2013-10-30 18:39 Esther

I just looked at the video. What an amazing dog!

2013-10-30 18:07 Esther

Greatly appreciate the up dates Bo

2013-10-30 10:47 Bo

For those who have access to Facebook there is a video of Wufra at the vets, popping outside (reluctantly) for his toilet. His coat is starting to get a shine on it and although still thin, his ribs are starting to get a bit more filled out. He's gorgeous.

Lovely to hear this news. Keep up the good work both Wufra and Tony xx

2013-10-28 22:41 Esther

Great news! Well done Tony and all Wufra 's many helpers

2013-10-28 14:13 Bo

Tony (his vet) is reported to be very pleased with his progress today. He's getting stronger day by day and apparently he nearly trotted out onto the grass for his toilet this afternoon. Xxx

2013-10-27 15:44 ClaireC

Thank you for update xx

2013-10-26 20:58 Esther

Thanks for the update Bo lets keep everything crossed.

Bolts owner has confirmed its not him :(

2013-10-26 16:32 Bo

From facebook update at 1340 today
Vet (Tony) seems quite pleased with his progress, although he's hesitant to say that he's on the mend. You can understand it - he has been through a lot. He's off his drip, has put more weight on and was pulling on the lead to get back into his bed, this morning.
His intravenous drip is now out.

Last edited: 2013-10-26 20:07:42 by Bo

2013-10-25 20:05 Bo

Follow his progress here;

Updated today that he continues to gain weight and the vets are hoping his intravenous drip will come out soon (tomorrow).

2013-10-25 11:04 DogLostJackalee (Kathryn) - Area Co-ordinator - Greater Manchester

Thanks Lady Owl, I've emailed photos of the found dog to Bolts owner ID 58603. We haven't got an actual photo of Bolt, just a similar one so no point in sending to the finder. Will update when I get a reply.

2013-10-25 00:27 BBKM

Wishing Wufra a full and speedy recovery, great work by everyone involved with his rescue and care xx

2013-10-24 20:11 ClaireC

Thank you for the update on dear Wufra. Nice to hear that Dog's Trust have offered to take over the care of him. So pleased that my monthly subscription is going to some really good causes. xx

2013-10-24 18:41 Minigirl - Area Co-ordinator, West Yorkshire

Have just heard from a local rescue that the Dog's Trust have offered to take over the care of this dog. They have been liaising with the area Dog warden service xx

2013-10-24 09:38 Paw

The dog people are looking after him at the moment. He's been named Wufra, glad to hear that he's putting on weight already.

Poor little man, he looks like it might take a while to get back to full health. I'd like to donate but the article doesn't have any links to paypal or a bank account. Does anyone have details of whom/where/how to donate?

Poor boy but at least in safe hands now. Thank you xx

Photos of Strider have been E-mailed to the finder....

2013-10-22 16:27 Bo

Paw - I would like to donate but no link on their site yet that I can see works. I will keep trying.

2013-10-22 14:44 Paw

There is now an appeal on www.grough.co.uk re this dog for help with vet's bills. He has a broken front leg and is very emaciated but doing alright so far. If not reunited with his owner (does have more than a passing resemblance to Strider) I am sure he will soon find a new home, once he is fit and well.

2013-10-21 22:21 DogLostHelen - Regional Co-ordinator - Norfolk, Suffolk and Cambridge

I will send the link to Strider's owner, thank you poochpal for alerting me to this x

2013-10-21 22:12 DogLostPoochpal - Regional Co-ordinator - South West - Police Liaison Team

So pleased that he was found in time, I hope he is now comfortable.
Could this be Strider? I know it is not his area but he may have been stolen and dumped? It is the expression in his eyes that is similar.
