I am thrilled these dogs have been found their owner must be over the moon.

There have been problems in Ireland over the last few years where dogs go 'missing' and then turn up about three weeks later when a reward is offered. The advice from forums and rescue centres over here is to always advertise that the dog is 'missing' and not use the 'stolen' word - even when it is blatantly obvious that the dog has been stolen. They suggest that you have a better chance of having the dogs returned if no-one is going to be accused of 'stealing' them.
I know this is blackmail but when your dog is missing you will do anything to get it back.
