Karma's been found, safe, if not terribly sound.. quite a few miles North of town at Coco Beach - thanks to Sherry from Lazy Croc for the use of her golf cart to bring him to town, to Mirna of Coco Beach for finding him in a joint effort with David from Pampered paws and Gunter who all coincidentally were in the same place at the same time as.... Karma!
Very bruised and torn paws, nothing an extended stretch out on the sofa won't fix though, a bit bewildered, hungry, thirsty and very very tired.
Thanks all for keeping a look out!
