Heartbreakingly, they never did.
His family had abandoned him on the side of the road, with his belongings left right next to him.
The sweetest soul
Despite his past, Dudley has remained the gentlest, sweetest soul, explains rescue charity Saving and Rehoming Strays.
They describe Dudley as "a dog who simply wants to love and be loved. In foster, he has been nothing short of perfect."
Perfect in every way
In fact, it seems this sweet boy is practically perfect. He enjoys the company of other dogs - even taking puppy antics in his stride!
He loves every human, including sensible children. He's housetrained, good on the lead, happy in the car and he melts when he's offered any kind of affection.
Saving and Rehoming Strays are hoping he receives plenty of interest. And in the meantime, he's enjoying lots of cuddles in his foster home in Scotland.
