Hope so to but if he was taken care of possibly a Vet would have picked up on the chip in the ear. Maybe they did and someone would lie and say he bought him after taking him way off some where, but that is probably not the case.
All our bird dogs were trained to hunt close in cover so that is what was so strange. That is only dog in our family that has ever been lost like that. We too have picked up only one or two dogs that got lost on hunts ourselves and would wait by the truck at a close obvious point and sure enough some one would come by and ask if seen a dog. That is what he thought would happen. Yep that trip plus grouse numbers down and some other minor things put an awful taste in his mouth. He loves it up there but he is not been back hunting up there since.
