hi Ramin,
Wishing u Merry Christmas 
As you mentioned, the previous owner really loved him because you found him healthy (except for the wound) and he was castrated. That dog was trying to squeeze out through that tiny gap because he desperately wants to continue his search & locate his house/owner - & you stopped him from finding his way back when you fenced him in (& I understand that maybe you want his wound to heal first).
Yea, indeed he was trying to squeeze out..but i dun think he's desperate to search for the owner. But again, when i let him loose to go out, he came back in around 10mins after his pee n poo. I somehow wonder why since u said tat he's desperate to find his owner. He once too squeeze out when we're not at home, but he waited outside our gate door till we came back. Yes, besides stopping him from going out becos of the injured, my place recently got dog catcher roaming around. it's not safe for him cos he dun have licence. (will get him a licence on the coming january)
He may also have lived around neighbouring areas, like Section 16, SS2, Section 19 etc. Dogs are able to roam/travel >5km in a day. If they are frightened by thunderstorms they can run very, very far away.
yea, i know dogs can roam far away in a day n can get back to his own house as well. These few days we're having a new conclusion tat..he might not be around our area. We suspected tat he's been brought/drive to our area n abandoned him at the shoplot beside my house. And he's a peace and happy minded dog. I've been noticing him tat few days when there's thunderstorm, n he's not scared at all..and he still sleeps soundly in his place.
Perhaps you should post up a "found" profile of this dog on PetFinder.my? or DogDetective.com? MalaysiaDogClub.com etc.? Many people are also are not computer/internet savvy, so printing about 20-30 flyers/small posters and putting them up in local vets & pet shops around Petaling Jaya.
It's the end of the year & people go on holidays leaving their pets in the care of friends/neighbours/caretakers/maids etc. Maybe the person taking care of the dog mistakenly left the gate unlocked. It's has also been thunderstorming a lot these past few weeks and dogs dislike the sound of thunder - they get frightened off and try to run away from it instinctively.
Many people are advised to check the dog pound (i.e. PAWS, SPCA etc.) or wait for their pet to come home because dogs almost always can find their way home naturally. I've cared for 12 dogs in the last 33 years and I know this to be true.
As you mentioned above, the previous owner probably loved the dog which was why you found him in very good health. So, I really don't believe that this dog was abandoned.
ooh...i really donno there's so many place to post. cos all i know is puppy.com. n through icelads last reply, i just know there's a petfinder also.
For ur information, on the day i saw golden, he's actually been tightly tight with a steel chain around his stomach. Since he's not tied still to anything, he can go anywhere he wanted, instead of sitting at the same place for 2days until i released his chain, n tat's the day he follow me back. At 1st i also tot he might ran out himself, but when i still saw him lying in the same place..i just go to him.
The vet i went to did help me put up a notice at her place, n so is my friendly neighbourhood been spreading news around, eventually after golden came..alot of ppl passing through my house n stopped just to watch at him.
Hmm..i donno what u mean by taken care for so many dogs, like u might be a trainer or for dogs boarding or it's ur own dog.
I have 9 dogs in my hometown house now which r all rescued/re-home/adopted by me. All of my dogs r like mongrels n mixed-spitz as well.
Eventually, i've been taking care for more than 10 dogs in my past 10 yrs. Mayb i'm not professional as u in taking care, but basic care i still know. At least, some injured stray dog which i took back..i did heal them up n it's in good condition now.
No offence to anyone by saying this, if everyone has a heart for their pets, then now we won't be seeing so many re-home pets in Paws or SPCA or even on street waiting for the dog catcher to come. Honestly, some ppl somehow or rather wanted a pet..but they give up when the pet having problems. U should know tat. So..y dun't u think tat..bcos of his injured tat is so hard to cure,the owner gave him up. I did say the owner might be very pampered him..but it can be before golden's injured. Anything is possible to happen, especially we human always think of ownself before thinking for others.
You mentioned before that this big dog squeezed out of a 5-inch gap, it shows you how desperate he was to escape & find his owner - one cannot deny a dog's love to his original owner. He's probably been with them for many years and he feels like a member of their family.
I hope that you don't get too attached to this dog because some family in PJ who lost him is currently very, very sad.
What you've done by rescuing this dog and giving him medical care is really a wonderful, good, kind act. I hope you will make the small, extra effort of listing him as "found" in various online pet forums & keep a look out for flyers in other areas outside of Section 17. Putting up your own flyers in the local petstores/vets in your area & even PAWS/SPCA will certainly help this dog.
I really hope this dog finds his family.
Ramin
So, like wat i said previously tat he squeeze out just becos he need to pee n poo, then he'll be running back happily to our house.
The dog now is very attached to us..n i think i should love him like i love my other dogs as well. it doens't mean tat i found him n he cannot be attached to us.
But for the advise u gave, i really appreciate. Thanks.
