A daft dog is hoping to find a new owner after he was hailed as a “comic genius.”
Alfie was abandoned when he was just a six-months-old pup.
The greyhound lurcher cross has faced a 120 day wait for someone to love him.

But now staff hope that his hilarious antics will attract a new owner.
They say he looks like Bambi on ice when he runs around due to his long legs, as reported on What’s The Jam.
He is currently at the RSPCA rescue centre in Bawtry, near Doncaster, South Yorkshire.
A spokesperson for the animal charity said: “The young dog came in as one of a litter of unwanted pups and his playful charm quickly won him a new home.
“But he was returned to the centre three months later because of a change in his new owner’s circumstances.

“Sadly, potential adopters have shown next to no interest in Alfie since, and the centre thinks it might be because people are put off by his physique and don’t see him as particularly ‘cuddly’.”
But Daniel Cartwright, Animal Welfare Manager, said: “Alfie is a fabulous young dog who adores people and spreads joy and laughter wherever he goes.
“With his long legs and still-growing body, we think he’s a bit of a comedic genius with his various antics and we can guarantee he’ll make his new family smile.

“One of his favourite activities is zooming around our secure outside area at full speed, which quite often results in a ‘Bambi on ice’ type spectacle.
“But if he takes a tumble, he soon gets back up and comes over to you for a cuddle and some reassurance before he’s off again.
“Greyhounds and lurchers are gentle and affectionate dogs who really enjoy being part of a family. Alfie has so much enthusiasm for life and having fun is his number one priority.
“It’s heart-breaking, given his vibrant personality and potential as a loving family pet, that we still haven’t found him a much-deserved new home.”
