Yay Mortimer! You have to admit that he’s is good at his job.

Turn around Ma’am.

The world’s lost pets and strays needs about a 100,000 Mortimers.

If she wasn’t right behind you, I would have suggested looking at your local fire station!

Good ’ol Morty!

Mr Mort, tracer of lost puppies. Cue the music to “Someday I’ll Find You”

Mortimer saves the day….. again!.jpg

We found a lost pup a few weekends ago (a labradoodle – goodness, what energy!) and drove around for hours looking for her owner. With all the social media I posted, it was my sweetie’s poster-onna-stick that got her home!

Pups. Never out of mind. Often under foot.

Nice to see a Mortimer-based story!

Don’t worry lady, Dalmatians are always spotted.(We had one, he did take off and was spotted. Small town though, that helps.)

Mortimer is a very good boy, yes, he is! And with all that snow, it is a miracle he found the puppy!

Not a fit night out for pup nor beast!

Mortimer was on a case.

One smart dog that Mortimer

Jojo did not answer the question. Sunny asked if he has seen the dog, it is a Yes or No question, not an accusation.

Police stations do not put up Lost Dog posters. The owner would do that.

Mortimer to the rescue! (Again!)

I have Dalmatians, and you may be surprised at how well Dalmatians blend into the snow. The spots blend in and do not stand out, it makes it appear more like shadows in areas with trees or bushes.

Good boy, Mortimer!

Great job, Mortimer!

Who’s a good boy? ❤️

Mortimer is Joe Kenda on four legs; “If you stray, I WILL find you”!

Hope this is a new storyline.

A rescue rescue dog.

Ask and ye shall receive.

This is another good one, with Mortimer in the spotlight!

And Mortimer saves the day again!!! Someone make him steak for dinner! ❤️❤️❤️

This is a lovely strip! And proves that Mortimer’s extraordinary abilities are not limited to helping humans!Interestingly, Mortimer’s abilities do have some plausibility. There was Ginny, the dog who rescues cats (See book of the same title) who had an uncanny ability to nose out cats who were desperately in need of help. And when I was looking Ginny up (I couldn’t recall her name) I found that there is a similar book out there: MOLLY, THE DOG WHO RESCUES CATS.Molly apparently works with a pet detective.
