So sorry to hear the sad news about Huggie. Thinking of you all. Xxx

So sorry to hear the sad news about Huggie.
Gone far too young. Our thought are with his family.
He will always be in your hearts...because he has taken a piece of them with him. Run Free handsome....the angels will light your way. X.

Our thoughts are with Huggie's family, such sad news. Love The New Icemaid Clan xxxx

I was absolutely heartbroken to hear that the lovely Huggie went to Rainbow Bridge..... run free fella x x x x

I guess after 134 races it must be hard for Huggie to stop chasing anything small and fluffy....but I am sure with your help he will succeed. He is a very handsome lad. xxx

Loving the "green" sign ! Well done Huggie boy x Loved to meet you three on Saturday good luck with everything - specially hope that cat situation gets better, remember softly and slowly at your own pace x Love from Sarah, Steve, Toby, Jo, Will I Am and of course George the cat xx If you need anything or any of us on here can give any advice - pls just shout xxxx

Huggie's lovely character is really coming through now and he is settling well. There is still lots of work needed with our cat but we are all trying hard and Huggie is enjoying himself in the meantime.

Huggie is so well behaved around the house and is adorable, we are really hoping our cat will soon start to feel the same!!! He is excellent in the park and eating and sleeping very well. We are hoping the weekend bring more progress with our cat.

Glad that Huggie is slowly settling in with the cats. Give him a big hug from me, I am so glad he has a new home and I hope that it will be forever as he deserves it. He is such a good natured dog and was getting lots of fuss from children on the roadshow.

Huggie had a good first night. Slept very well as he was tired after his walk in the park yesterday. He is very well behaved, but we still need to work very hard as Huggie and our cat are very wary of each other. We are hoping they start getting on a bit better today. Huggie has certainly made himself at home.

Hoping you are a good boy with the cats tonight huggie bear xxxxx

Brillian news :) Well done Huggiexxx

Lovely news Huggie.

Love The New Icemaid Clan xx

Glad you are reserved xxxx

oh huggie well done you did do those eyes and somebody fell in love with you xx

hi huggie saw you and jill at mell square today you were such a good boy- did you do those appealing eyes like i told you to- jill said i could swap you for my hubby but as i said nobody would have him- maybe see you wed unless you have a new home x

sounds like he is even more handsome than his picture in real life.Hopefully there will be some good news for this boy by the end of the day.

Huggie gets my cuddle today. I was at Mell Square with Lola this morning and this boy was just a star. He attracted quite a lot of attention and really I hope someone falls in love with him very soon. xxx

Huggie came home with me tonight as he is coming to the Solihull roadshow tomorrow to show how handsome he is.He has met the cats and although seemed a little interested at first, a sharp no was all it took to divert his interest, he is now ignoring them. He has had a lovely run around the garden and is very well behaved, greeting us often with a very waggy tail and lots of licks, shame the Williams house is full or I would be so tempted, someone out there is going to get a wonderful companion, fingers crossed someone falls in love with him tomorrow.

totally agree with you ruth- our male dog duffy was totally freaked out by my grandson when we first had him especially if he squealed or cried- you gave us alot of support and the answer for us was stair gates so that the dogs could go and have sanctuary in the kitchen we also played tapes of babies and children laughing and crying all the time in the background- slowly we introduced the 2 together and now they love each other- my granson oliver lies on the beds with the dogs and they follow him around constantly-also i found it,s the way you react with the two together the dog always looks to you for direction-plus i loved duffy so much i was willing to try for as long as poss to make it work

Safety of children is always of the utmost importance, however equally the dog also needs to be protected and respected. I have seen photos in the past of dogs laying asleep on the floor with a child laying across them. We always say that a dog must be respected at all times especially when on their bed or asleep. I am not doubting the circumstances relayed by Huggie's owners but need to reiterate that it is not always the dog at fault.

Poor Huggie xxxx

This is so sad for everyone but knowing the issue will help in finding this very handsome boy the right home.The safety of the liitle ones is so important.
Hopefully he will find the right home as soon as possible

This is Huggies owner...he is a lovely, loyal well behaved dog....who we all loved and will miss very much...unfortunately this wasnt an isolated incident he has nipped at my grandchildren a couple of times in the past.....hence us always putting a muzzle on him when children are around. This time it would have been much more than a nip if he wasnt wearing a muzzle and we feel as we have chilren visiting our house regularly it is best for everyone to return Huggie...i wouldnt hesitate to say that he would be fine for anyone without children or older children and he is brilliant with other dogs large and small as stated...we were also able to let him off a lead and he would come bk when called. I really hope he finds a new home soon.

Awww, Huggie is so lovely. I'm sure he will have a better life with a loving family soon. I wish I could have you Huggie- your Pearl's half brother! Lots of love and my hug goes to you today!! Xx

Was this a one off or has it been an ongoing issue? If it was a one off have the family thought of attending a training class or perhaps looking at how they could manage the situation forthe safety of both dog and friends child? It seems a shame to return Huggie if this was an isolated incident.

My cuddle for you today as this is such a sad story. Hoping you won't be at Daybreaks too long sweetheart, there is somewhere out there for you. Xxx

Awwww hope fully someone will have a comfy sofa for you ASAP xx

I have given my cuddle to fire today (as is my recent ritual!) but now i wished i'd have given it to poor huggie. I always feel most sad about the dogs who are returned, who have known a comfy sofa. It must be so distressing for them and for their ex family. Bless im! Hope he finds somewhere ASAP XX

Huggie has been returned today after being in a home since January 2011 by his owner who was very upset. He is good with other greys as the family did have another but returned her last year after she kept escaping from their home.

I have been told that he knocked over a child belonging to a friend yesterday and the comments on the return form state 'He went for one of the grandchildren'.

He is extremely stressed at being back at the kennels and crying a lot and due to the comments from his owner, he would be best homed with older children or someone without children.

Took Huggie to sutton park today..he met lots of different dogs big and small and was friendly with them all. we felt happy to take the muzzle off............He slept for hours when we got back. He is part of the family now xxx

glad to here he's settled so well xx

We meet Huggie today such a cutie majorly tempted to take him home. Don't think he will be around long.

Good luck huggie we hope you find your forever home soon.

Huggie and my McKenzie went for a walk together today and he is such a good lad, loves to have a look at everything that is going on around him, so interested in everything new, like a little child, absolutely gorgeous and such a lovely nature. xxxx

Huggie Bear, Teddy Bear! He so bloomin' cuddly! Although he's quite shy at first he comes out of his shell once it's time for walkies. Good luck handsome boy. x
