Thanks for all the nice posts, Cooper is home I got all the little things out of his hair, he didn't even seem to mind and some I had to cut out. I was shocked the amount of people that helped in my community. I out up over 300 flyers was out all night did everything I could think to get him back. I got a guide from Petamberalert.com also signed up for one, didn't need it he was Home before they started, seems coop was so scared he didn't want anyone to help him, I think he knew how good he has it with me,,, minus this incident and me being careless leaving door open, but I'm not perfect. He lived in a cage as a stud dog for two years before I rescued him, he has a pretty great life now. I'm surprised he made it all by himself, I always joke that if I give him a treat that is to big he just lets it sit, hence not doing well put in wild. I'm proud of my little guy and so happy to have him home. I also wanted to mention the guide suggested that if a pet is lost put your dirty clothes around your house, I also read that is you have a very hard rain your dog might night smell it's normal scents because they are washed away, we had a horrible storm the night before.
I also wanted to say that Cooper has a chip, he wears a harness with Id on it while on walks inside he never wore it, never saw a need and he is pretty small, but yesterday I went to Hermes got him a new small collar and a tag that he can wear in the house all the time so far he hates it and his hair seems really full of mats but I guess that's better than Mia.
Ty again for all the well wishes and prayers

My 250 signs paid off.. I found Cooper, I was up all night looking for him and put a sign on every car and pole I could find. At about 6 am I walked arou d the development behind me, he was seen by a few people up until about 8pm but nobody could catch him,,, he is fast and scared. He doesn't usually wonder he was a stud dog I rescued that lived in a cage for 2 years. Anyway a nice lady called me said she saw my song couldn't wait with my dog but told me where she saw him,, he wasn't there but I looked and looked called and called left my garage door open for him,, then walked around back of my house he was there, seems he was out all night was soaked full of spurs and so happy to see me,,, not nearly as happy as I was to see him... I cut out the spurs he had a drink, looked at me gave me a dirty look then went to sleep. I'm going to get a few hours sleep then go take my signs down. I'm so happy he is home. Hope he doesn't stay upset long

I usually take Cooper out about 5 times a day today I was going out about 2pm, had taken him for a walk about noon, so before i went out out opened the back door let him run out go potty I left the screen door open for him, it was such a nice day he wanted to go for another walk so we went and came in the front door, I came home about 8 and Cooper did not come to the door I walked to the back and realized i left the back door open Cooper let himself out.. The people up the street saw Him about 4 pm but he was so scared he ran off and seems like nobody has seen him since, I don't keep his collar on inside my last 2 dogs died of ct, Cooper wears a harness but not inside. He just got groomed last week So he for sure looks like he is well taken care of. I hope he is inside with someone I called the police put out 250 flyers, been out walking for hours. Called all the local animal shelters and anyone else I could think of. I'm so sad and just can't forgive myself
