woke this morning at 5am by a barking dog outside the back of our apartment after 30mins it went quiet and muttering we went back to sleep.  Got up at 8 and looked out the back to find dog curled up by the back gate to our block.  We saw this dog running down a road towards Garrucha two days ago and thought it looks like one that the new people on the 9th floor owned and they have only been here a short time.  So went down and rang their bell and sure enough it was their lost dog who had found it's way home to somewhere it really didn't know very well and boy were owner and dog pleased to see each other.

Just hope he doesn't come home at 5qm again!!!!

Yes, great ending and I'm happy for the owners. My instant reaction was how did it happen in the first place. Most people look after their animals ( like their children? Wow did I just say that? ) very well. Hopefully it was an accident that the poor pooch got out in the early hours. But in my 20 years of having dogs it never happened, or was likely to happen to me. 

Nothing worse than dogs barking ( or cockerels crowing ! ) at 5 in the am.

not sure if this particular dog is a foster one as they are Spanish and arrive at the weekends with 2 small white dogs usually and then this bigger black and white one.  When we saw it loose on the top road to Garrucha from Marina de la Torre it had just got out of their car and run off.  Which makes it even more amazing that it made it's way back here and was curled up by their car out the back.

They allow their dogs to mess in the corridor to the flat and on their balcony which is not very pleasant but the man was genuinely delighted to see his dog and the dog him.
