    I assume your friend has done this but ....

    Contact all local vets
    Contact the local dog warden (Local Authority)
    Let the local police know
    Contact all local dog clubs/trainers

    Was the dog chipped? If so, then if it turns up, the owner should be traced via the chip.

    Sadly, there are increasing reports of working gundogs being stolen :(

    Hope he turns up - let us know, eh?

    Also check with rescues too.

    Has she registered him as lost on all the lost dog sites?

    Oh, and put him on here too DogPages Lost & Found Dogs.

    Hope he is found soon.
