We have been receiving

differing versions on how Sparky got lost in the first place, how he ended up where he did, and eventually how he 'disappeared' again.

We do not wish to make any assumptions nor any false accusations on anyone as all is now merely hearsay and speculations, heavyladen with anxiety and sadness on the owners' part.

Latest 'news' we receive was that a couple was spotted to have taken Sparky away on Saturday night on a leash. If the suspicion is right, this couple had been to the farm regularly some time back but had stopped coming for quite a while now. They are dog lovers and had helped to tend to some stray pups in that area.

Still, no one on the farm can provide any useful information as to exactly who this couple is, and we are thus still unsure if this couple is who we think they are. We also do not have their contact numbers. We will have to speak personally with the eyewitness who saw this on Sat night.

At least, if it is really that couple who took Sparky, we are assured that Sparky is well taken care of now as they are dog lovers.

It could be highly likely that Sparky was found wandering lost and someone just brought him here for shelter, sincerely not knowing he is a lost dog or simply not knowing how to return him to his owner. That person could have asked one of the farm people to help look after Sparky and then asked around for anyone who would want him.

The only frustrating part is the 'I don't know' attitude of the farm people when we are quite certain they do know.

* There are some suspicions going on, so:

- If you are reading this and know anything about the truth, please do come forward and tell us.

- If you are reading this and you are the one who took Sparky:

We will never understand the anxious hearts of the owners unless we ourselves have lost a beloved pet. The grief, anxiety and frustration would be indescribable and the not-knowing really pains the heart.

If you are having Sparky now, all we ask is this: Put Sparky back into the cage which we will be checking daily. We will take him back the instant he is returned to the cage. No questions asked. We do not need to know who you are.

This is our sincere appeal.
