My faith in mankind has been strengthened by reading this article. May God Bless everyone who looked after this creature of God. It does my heart good to know that there are so many caring people out there in our community that took it upon themselves to take care of this precious animal. I hope that if someone did intentionally leave him there that it will come back to them tenfold. I am so glad that he will now hopefully have a home where he is loved and cared for. Thank you so much Molly and the others who provided for this lost animal. I am sure whoever gets him will receive love and loyalty for years to come. God Bless You All!

I want everyone to know that someone from Brewton was able to get him into her car last night and he’s safe in her fenced back yard She sent me a message on facebook at midnight last night, so I didn’t read it until this morning when I woke up, but when I read it I was so happy and relieved just knowing he’s finally safe!! I want to thank everyone that has taken the time to feed & water him and tried to catch him!! I’m just glad he finally cooperated with someone I’m making arrangements to pick him up this afternoon when I get off because she can’t keep him. If anyone out there can give this baby a loving home please contact me on Facebook. I wish I could keep him and if I knew he would stay in my yard I would keep him but I don’t have a fenced in yard and he would end up in the same spot he’s been sitting in all week.

Do you think you can slip a leash around him next time you are petting him? Maybe make him wait for the food, or lead him a little farther away from the highway to feed him and then get a leash on him. This heat has got to be brutal on him with his thick coat. Also, the longer he stays there, the greater his chances are of getting hit by a car.

I just visited the poor baby he is back in his original spot and very scared. I got him to come to me and I pet him but he was real jumpy and traffic kept flying down the highway and I was scared he was going to jump in front of a car so I left I left him some food & water and hope he has a safe night and hopefully someone will be able to catch him tomorrow!

The last time the dog has been seen was yesterday around 8:30 am. The guy from the Humane Society called me and told me that he attempted to catch the dog but he ran off through the woods! He’s probably scared to death! I’ve rode by the spot several times since I got the call and I just got back from checking the area and he’s no where to be found I just hope he stays safe and eventually shows back up so someone can catch him and give him the love and attention he needs! I’m just a little upset that it’s taken the trained professionals a week of trying to catch him and still no success!

I would gladly foster the dog. I foster Golden Retrievers and own 1 Golden; what’s the status of the dog?

Has anyone tried to take their dog with them and get him to trust that way? That may help. I just took in a stray or I would pick this guy up = We now have 4 and I love animals, but I can not take anymore.

What is the latest status? I don’t live close enough to physically check on him but I have been keeping track of his journey. I hope all is well with him.

I would adopt him. he is super cute and obviously a very loyal companion. We have plenty of room for him to run and play.

I have owned two dogs in the past that look similar to this dog. They were both Samoyed Golden Retriever mix exactly. Looks quite similar. Has a Sammy smile. If this is the same mix it might be a dog from further north as not many people own Samoyed dogs here as they are a sled dog. This mix is white apricot in color and if this is the same mix they are a very nice dog. If someone could camp out near this dog they might win it’s heart to go with them. This is a loyal dog waiting for someone.
