Owner writes: Murphy went missing from the Somerby area of Leicestershire He's new to the area (24/05/10) and UK having arrived with his breeder from Ireland where he's been at her kennels since a newborn pup. The next chapter of Murphy's life is to become a family pet. He was finding adapting to a house strange still and wasn't generally settling easily for sleep. On return from a walk he twisted away on approach to home well before our path, managed to slip his lead, likely twisting collar 'd' ring against lead clip and 'springing it'. I was able to be near to him four times before he took off again, the last time at considerable pace.I then lost sight of him completely. He was circling rather than covering huge distance at that time hopefully indicating that he has not ultimately travelled a long distance but is rather hiding nearby. Of course he may now have travelled some distance. Murphy is not micro-chipped/tattooed but is hopefully still wearing his collar (brown/ gold check) and tag (multi-coloured metal disc with home and vet contact details). I am truly hoping he will seek the company of other dogs and/or a bitch in season seeing as he's used to a pack and is entire.

Missing around 2 am Friday, 28th May 2010 in Somerby, Leicestershire
