I am looking for the original owner of my black and white Collie/Spaniel cross dog who passed away 8 years ago at the age of 16 years.  Her original owner who had her for the first year of her life had one of the pubs in Irreshopeburn around 1993 and Bonnie was kept in the bottling up yard as the owners had to spend their time on the business.  A neighbour contacted NASSL - The National Animal Sanctuaries Support League who rehomed her with myself.  I became Bonnie's new mum in April 1993 and would love to find her original owner as she may have photos of Bonnie as a puppy. She was like a daughter to me and there's not a day goes by that I don't think of her. I have never had children as Bonnie was like my child, I kept the name what her original owner had called her. Can anyone help with this please?  It would mean the world to me. Thanks Beverley

Hi Beverley

Sorry to hear your dog passed away. Do you have any pictures to help find the original owner?

Hiya Alex

Thanks for taking the time to reply to me!  If only they could live forever, so proud she reached 16 though.  I have re-photographed some older photos of her from when she was younger.  There's a year of her life that lies undiscovered would also be nice for original owners to know what a happy and long life she had and she couldn't have been more loved and by my parents.  Beverley

If my memory serves me right I think the neighbour at the time was called Mrs Humpheys/ Humphries. Thanks, Beverley
