Team Sonny had posters which went all over the UK and beyond, from day 2 which showed photographs of shelties which had been shaved for medical reasons. would it help if I sent the poster to go into the other photo slot so that everyone can be aware of how they alter shelties, Rough Collies and other breeds such as Schnauzers to alter their appearance.

I saw the pics and as Jenkins says his appearance was radically different. Someone faced with the poster and the dog right in front of them would have difficulty identifying him.

For those of you who dont do facebook, Sonny's appearance was totally changed with his fur shaved off.. Here's what Sonny'w owner had to say First a huge thank you to the dog lost team and all you wonderful people who have kept him in the limelight. Sonny was found by chance when police raided a house in Bristol for another crime, hats off to the officers who realised something was off with Sonny and decided to investigate more, you’ll see why they didn’t recognise him straightaway in a minute. They sent us pics and we asked to see him, but they said they would check for a chip and instead rang to say they were on the way home with him. He was so happy to be home and soon bouncing off the furniture again. The reaction of the other dogs was hilarious they were terrified of him , thought what the hell is this, then a sniff and they all rolled around laughing. The police warned us to be prepared as he looked different but who cares it’s Sonny. This is before and after and a huge lesson for everyone, if you see something suspicious please report it , let’s get all the others home now.
Here's a link to the photos before and after

Over the moon for Sandra and Team Sonny you have worked your socks off with such brilliant support. Hats off to each and everyone one you the dedication has paid off. Thanks a million to the Police for being involved and taking Sonny back home where he belongs. So much goes on behind the scenes and a team of people working together.

All that team Sonny has worked so hard for has come true, Sonny is in a Police car on his way back home to Sandra, thank you all who have worked so hard to help to get him safely back home. You have truly proved the Shetland sheepdog family will not be messed with.

This dog has been checked, it is a much older dog, I requested that they register this sheltie onto DogLost.

Sandra's post on Facebook today - Sonny has today been missing for a week, a week of sleepless nights and horrendous days. Today we are not going to appeal to the scum that took him but to every decent person in the country. There is a saying “ The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing”. Someone knows where he is , they may not want to get involved but if you know where he is then you are already involved. Please ring us , tell us then hang up for all we care, we just want him back.
To the people that took him we will never stop looking, this is not going to go away. If you use him for breeding we will recognise the puppies even if cross breeds , a sheltie cross still looks like a sheltie. . Put him safe in someone’s garden or ring us the reward still stands.
Everyone please remember there are lots of missing dogs out there a tip off for one may get others found. Public opinion is hardening against these criminals and before long the laws will change , for now thank you everyone for your help sharing , please keep your eyes and ears open and report anything no matter how small.

Finn was found with a slip lead on which he hates, probably that is how he got away. Sonny could now be anywhere in the country
