SONNY THE seven-stone American bulldog faces an uncertain future after waiting two months in vain for a new home.

The hulking three-year-old arrived at Langdyke Boarding Kennels after his previous owner moved into a council flat where no pets were allowed. An appeal was issued for a new owner but despite lots of interest—and Sonny slimming down by a stone—the right person is yet to come along and time is running out.

Fife Council dog control officer Evelyn Ramsay said if a new home wasn’t found for him soon the difficult decision to put him down might have to be taken.

His search for a home sparked national media attention when he first arrived at Langdyke. But Evelyn said it would take an experienced dog owner to able to look after him properly.

She said, “Sonny is a large, strong dog who could only go to someone who has experience of a large breed and would be responsible enough to manage this seven stone lump who just wants to sit on your lap!

“This breed needs a firm but fair owner prepared to attend training classes and insist on obedience from this bright lad.

“But he is a young, affectionate dog and there has to be someone out there just waiting to take him home.”

Evelyn and her team are also looking out for a stray tan greyhound bitch at large in the Cupar area for two months. She has been sighted as far afield as Gateside, Ceres and Dairsie.
