I don't know why but I quite like the idea that Connor Wickham was upset about his dog going missing and so happy to get him back. It sort of makes him like a normal lad his age. Quite bright of him to enlist the help of the Echo and Twitter as well. http://www.sunderlandecho.com/news/local/sunderland-striker-connor-wickham-reunited-with-lost-dog-after-echo-appeal-1-4502319
Know how the lad feels, lost my dog 25 years ago. fell down a drain.got him back two weeks later, skiny but alive.Can be a heartbreaker.
Apparently it happened when someone passed him the dog and his first touch was that bad it was knocked out of sight. He's only young though so we need to give him time before judging him on his dog skills.
