So Sunday morning I get a call from my friend M hundreds of miles away.
Out walking with her numerous dogs and rescue S hasn’t come back yet..
Fast forward an hour and still not back. Now ,he’s not the sort to run off but he does have a few issues so likely got himself stuck somewhere.
So phone and iPad both had to spring to action putting him on Facebook ,sharing posts ,asking for help to search. By the end of lunchtime there was a drone on site looking along with plenty of foot soldiers but still no sign as darkness fell.
A lovely man from one of the dog search teams head out in darkness but by morning S was still missing and more seriously no sightings either.
Facebook group was set up , chats for searchers , dog warden calls , plea to the local fishing club for someone with waders .
It was just amazing where everyone came from to help , Monday morning , really restores faith in people. And then he was found , by lovely ladies who heard a sound in the middle of a bog. One got a rope tied round her and went in..
I saw the message and just cried .. he’s fine sore feet and back legs but in the circumstances..well it’s not worth dwelling on that.
And I will catch up with the rest of the week another day.
