Awaiting some photos-well done Treena! about 100 people turned up and a lovely raffle and buffet with a tarot card reader as well. Very well organised. It was good to meet with Martyn the "trapper"

noreen, all sites were mentioned, unfortunately i had no control over what the journalist decided to print. im very disappointed that special thanks werent given to a lot of people that deserved it. thats another reason why we are arranging a fundraising night so that WE can say thanks personally.

awww thanks for trying goggo. anyway just a quick update....... Ted has been given a clean bill of health by the vet other than being slightly dehydrated and very under nourished, he will make a full recovery. he has some tablets to help him to sleep so he can gather his strength back. the poor fellas exhausted. gotta get him ready for photos with the local press tomorrow ...... the things a dog will do to get a bit of fame lol

Glad TED is back i live in Baginton and went walking My dog molly when ever i could to see if we could see him. I work shifts so would have a drive round early hours to see if he was around. Thought he might get to the 2 collies from the pub and stop for a play around!!!! I would be distraught if Molly went missing so i'm sooooo glad its a happy ending

thought you would like read what a helper from another group wrote about our wanderer. i think its brill!!!! The Story of Ted It was early in the evening. I was walking in the park. The lights were coming on although it wasn't really dark. The weather was quite awful, a kind of heavy drizzle That fell on to the pavement with a sort of soggy *sizzle*. And then I heard another noise, above the falling rain. It was gone, just for an instant, but there it was again. A soggy, sloshy steppy sound, like *Slip, slap slop* above the weathers constant *drip drip *. And there, running towards me in a kind of shambling jog Was a sweatband wearing, knapsack bearing, big muddy dog. "I really must be dreaming! This can't be real!" Thought I, But the dog, tail wagging, trotted past, and winked as he went by. "Hey wait!" I called. "You there! Yes, you, you crazy jogging doggy! What are you doing, running round the park, all cold and soggy?" The jogging dog slowed to a stop, and looked at me, and said, "I'm a happy loner, with no owner, jogging dog called Ted!" I gasped, for I just didn't know quite how a dog could talk. "I come here every night." Said Ted. "I like to come and walk Across the grass and through the trees, it really is good fun, But when I'm really happy, I cannot help but run." I looked again, and thought "This is quite shocking news!" I'm talking to a dog that's wearing Reebok training shoes! He saw me look, and shrugged. "I know, they're really pricy trainers. A hundred pounds is quite a lot to pay for paw containers. But what's a dog to do? My feet get sore if they get wet, And I really can't afford to take myself to see a vet!" I hadn't thought of this. I kindly offered him my brolly. He looked at me. "Hey, can't you see that offer is just folly? I have four paws, I have no hands! I have no way to hold it! And when I get back home, pray tell, just how am I to fold it? I'm a soggy, joggy, talking doggy." He said, then gave a frown. "If I try to carry that I'll look more like a clown!" I asked "How do you dry yourself?" This was a big mistake. He walked up even closer, then gave a mighty shake. It started at his nose, and moved in ripples down his back Until it reached his tail. I really wish I'd worn a mac. And now his fur stood out in tufts. "ah, now I feel much better!" Well, that made one of us, because of course I was much wetter. "I must be going!" I said, because I really felt quite soggy. Besides, I felt uncomfortable talking to a doggy. I wished him well, well, who could tell if we would meet again. Would I see him once again, jogging in the rain? "Okay, my friend! Take care, be good!" the doggy said. Then off he ran, my soggy joggy doggy friend, called Ted.

thanks for all your wonderful messages, and thankgod for that young lad that found him. he was clutching on to newspaper he'd seen TED in so tightly.... he even made the call himself bless him, gave me directions to get there the lot. he only put MUM on the phone when i asked for his phone number. i think we will all sleep for a week after this adventure.... ted included.

Oh my this is just the best news! - I follow ALL the collies especially [love of my life was a collie LOL] and Ted was the last one I checked on last night, and the first I've checked this evening. Collies in particular seem to have that 'switch' in their brain which makes them revert to wild mode in certain circumstances - sure he'll be back in no time once he's got his breath! So happy for you

Welcome home TED, and that is from my TED too, well done the boys I can only think it was a poster that the boys got your number from as Ted did not have a Tag so can we assume it was POSTER POWER that got him home I'm sure he will be back to his old self after some much TLC, I hope he will be getting a Tag and a chip now.

Great news to hear that this lovely boy is back home. A BIG well done to the lads who took the time and trouble to keep Ted amused until his family arrived. Pleased to hear that he is none the worse for his little 'adventure'. As you say, Trena, one way to loose a few pounds but not a diet to be recommended, eh?! Welcome home Ted and I hope Trena, Marc, Vikki and all those involved in the search enjoy a well deserved rest - well done one and all!!!

i cant tell you how good it felt when i saw martin walking towards me with ted on a lead and HUGE grin on his face. as soon as ted saw me, he pounced on me, crying and smothering me with kisses. such a different reaction to a couple of days ago when he was running AWAY from me. after he'd had all his hugs he started jumping up at the van for marc to let him in. we knew then he had had enough and just wanted to go home. feeling both emotional and exhausted at the minute.

Thank you all for your warm messages and for your support throughout this ordeal. teds currently fast asleep wrapped in a blanket totally oblivious to all the fuss he's caused. he seems quite traumatised at the minute but i'm sure after a couple of days tlc,he'll be back to his old self. he is definately going in the bath after his nap lol.

Fantastic -I'm so pleased for you all -you've worked so hard to get Ted back home safe. Well Done to the lads who worked magic to keep him there. Feed him a little & often til he gets used to proper food again, he'll smell a lot better after a bath & a good night's sleep will work wonders. Please invest in a training line or flexi lead for a little while until he settles down again-he's just had a bit of an experience & tag/chip pdq.x In the meantime have a wonderful night tonight with Ted home safe- this has made my day

TED'S HOME!!!!!!!!!!! he's absolutely exhausted, filthy, starving and whimpering like baby. But thank god he's safe and home now. he was found by a couple of young lads outside their home, he saw them and turned to run away, then changed his mind and went to them.they fed him and played with him while they waited for us. My Knight in shining armour, Martin from canine rescue, was still near the university and he got there before i did. i cant thank everyone enough for all the help we have recieved. as you can imagine we are all exhausted but happy. There is a GOD after all. many thanks all trena, marc and vikki xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hi there all, No good news at the moment other than a sighting in Charter Ave, On a pos' 2 radio stations are running a piece on TED today with an appeal for recent sightings. myself and Trena are back home [trap] in back of car and recharging our batterys, Martin has returned home but is on stand-by AWAITING sightings. We are in the process of looking at old sightings and routing his movements to decide on our next BarBQ for TED [[ rolls eyes ]] Please do call with any sightings [[ any time of nite or day ]] as this can only assist in his eventual return Thanks all Marc

After owning a beautiful rescue collie for 11 years until we lost him to cancer in 2006, despite been nervous & timid they can be stubborn sods & will give up when he's good and ready. At least he has been seen- everyone knows him & the area he's in. He will come home & then act like nothing 's wrong.

hi all, we,ve been sent home to get something to eat by martin. so far nothing to report but martin is confident ted will make an appearance when the traffic dies down and its nice and quiet. ERICA sorry i didnt catch you today, think we must have been going the opposite way round. thanks for your help though its greatly appreciated. seems like everyone i spoke to today knew about ted, all i said was im looking for my lost dog, and the reply was oh is this ted? with so many people aware it cant be too long before hes home can it? mind you looking at him yesterday he aint going anywhere until HE is good and ready! we'll be back up there in about an hour or so, if theres any news i'll get my daughter vikki to post. trena

Just had a call off Trena. The trap is up but nothing to report so far. After being very active yesterday Ted appears to have gone into hiding today but they're hoping the BBQ's will encourage him to make an appearance.

hi erica, thats a possibility as ted does love playing with plastic bottles too. not sure whether he would react as he normally would though due to his present state of mind. anything is worth a try though i think. thanks trena

Assuming he was around or spotted, would Ted be interested in another dog playing with a plastic bottle? Just a thought because my Quirky loves plastic bottles I just wondered if it would help if I brought her over to the area tomorrow afternoon. I did take the girls over to the general area of the Uni and Bagington on Wednesday morning but no sign of Ted then. Erica

It must be so frustrating for you & he's obviously quite enjoying all the running around. At least you've got his route & know where he's likely to turn up, the trap may be the answer for you. Rambo led everyone a merry dance until just one day something clicked. Fingers crossed that he's in blue soon.x

UPDATE on today?s events: Lots more sightings by the public and Trena but Ted is still not ready to throw in the towel. He?s definitely running his ?triangle?, Kenilworth/Baginton/University and after tracking him for most of the day they also now have a good idea of even the fields and tracks he?s using. Unfortunately the two DW?s were unable to help today when Trena had him in her sight but she now Martin onboard who has been to look at the area today and the BBQ?s and trap are planned to go up tomorrow. Blue would really suit you Ted!!

loads of calls today re sightings of TED. we went over and he was in a field, again as soon as he saw us, he bolted.tried everything, ignoring him, whimpering etc. when we turned and walked away from him, he bolted in the oppsite direction. followed him over fences and through fields for miles, he wasnt stopping for anyone. hes now moved into KENILWORTH, last seen in dalehouse lane.

Come on Ted boy you would look far better in the BLUE. Does he like a squeaky toy? My BC would do anything for her squeaky toys and really gets her attention, even when heard on the TV. GOOD LUCK, everyone is doing a brilliant job looking for Ted. Jan x

Many thanks to the lady who called me this morning regarding a trap. i have called the number you gave me and martin was most helpful. awaiting a call back from him with a view to him lending me a trap and he's gonna bring a few disposable bbq's too. theres a great article in the local free paper today about ted so fingers crossed for more sightings today. big thanks to ANNIE and CATHY who have been my rock over the past days, thinking nothing of dashing out to help at the a hat in all weathers, searching and postering for us. cant tell you how grateful we are. thanks again trena and marc

If you see Ted again, lie down and start wimpering. His curiosity will get the better of him and he may well approach. If he does, keep your voice low and offer him food try to avoid eye contact. I wish you all the luck in the world and my heart goes out to you at this most awful time.

just back from baginton where we have scented and put food again. we sat in the car, had something to eat and drank coffee just hoping for a glimpse but nothing. although today was uneventful re sightings i am feeling much more positive than i was yesterday, and after seeing ted last night and how well he looked my mind is less troubled. spent alot of this afternoon and tonight talking with locals, another confirmed seeing him in the area the night before last too, so he's lingering around which is a plus. lady next door to the fort is going to try and lure him in with food if she sees him. i have sent an email to ray dedicoat to ask if he can help and airport security are looking too. spoke to the warden re setting a trap, theirs is broken so asking manger if they can buy a new 1. ive just collected another 150 posters which have been printed for me so tomorrow i will be posting like a loony again. think i have worked out the route hes taking between the uni and baginton , they gonna be sick of seeing me there before long. well im off to get a sleep, in preparation for a busy day tomorrow.

hi all, just returned from the area where ted was seen last night.theres be no sign of him since then. a bunch of us have been postering like mad, door knocking and handing out flyers. also managed to get a council worker to let us into the site for a good look around, rather than like last night, climbing fences and facing up to bulls. (poor daughter thought her life was ending). anyway we have scented the area again, laid out his blanket and made sure he has plenty of food. hopefully he will reappear tonight. thanks to all for support and suggestions, im feeling more positive today that ted will soon be home, albeit AFTER he has led us a merry dance i think.

Ted's owner, Our beloved pets do not behave or react in the way we think they will when they have been living wild for a while - read Rambo reunited and the ordeal the owner had to go through. I am sure you have done so already but, if not, contact headquarters for some advice on approaching Ted. Good luck!x

just to update you. we had a call from polly at petsearch last night, a member of the public reported seeing ted in the lunt fort at baginton. we dashed up there and sure enough, there he was, standing by a building inside. sadly when he saw us, he either didnt recognise us or he was just too traumatised, but he scarpered. we stayed around for hours to see if he reappeared but he didnt. we scented the area, put some food and his blanket there in the hope he will return. i put up a poster in a nearby bus stop too (it was the only one i had left ). i have emailed the dog warden to ask if we can trap the area too. not the result i had hoped for, but peace of mind that he is still ok. he looked remarkably well considering how long hes been out in the rain etc. im astounded at the distance this fella has covered too, hes sure making the most of this adventure. its in postcode area CV8

This is good news. If they can go back to same area & put down food & scent it he should in theory go back. It will not be easy as automatic reaction is to call your dog & try catch him but do the opposite. Dont look, sit down if possible & wait til he comes to you. Can you get car anywhere near where you saw him?? Stay positive ,it's good that you've seen him & fingers crossed that he's home soon.

Is there anyone in the area with a bitch in season who could scent the woods with the bitches urine? Although Ted is castrated he may well be lured by a hot bitch. If you can help with this please contact Trena directly so that you can discuss which part of the wood to scent as it is a big area. Thanks Sue

Sometimes things don?t work the first time Trena. I?ve done the car thing myself in the past, night after night with a big flask of coffee the radio on and some nice smelly food around. If he?s in the woods he might have several dens there. You could pick an area you consider the safest (farthest away from the roads) to scent and put his blankets etc to try to lure him there. Does Ted have any doggie friends who could walk the woods and maybe flush him out?

ted doesnt really play with toys, he likes to fetch when we are out but he tends to go for small plastic drinks bottles that are left about. he loves to sink his teeth into it, squash it flat then have it thrown like a frizbee. we've tried the car thing, cos he usually recognises the sound of the engine when 1 of us comes home. the problem with the woods is not knowing where to scent and leave things. its such a vast area. im just worried now if he takes a wrong turn hes going to end up on the busy A46. already had reports of him walking down the busy rd in cov city centre stopping all the traffic. oh and guess what... the police were there too. shame they didnt think to notify dog warden or maybe ted would be home by now.

If he's still nervous after been spooked by fireworks he will try stay out of the way. I know how worried you will be but follow the scenting info & put food down. He should return to area he's been seen in as he does not fear them. My collie was a nervous wreck and would run to the darkness smallest cover not necessarily run far away. They are very resourceful & while ever we have rubbish outside he will find things to eat, the weather hasn't turned too cold yet & he will probably be holed up. I dont know if he has a favorite squeaky toy, did he like going in the car. The other thing you could try is to park the car as near as poss to where he was last seen & sit with boot/back door wherever he used to go open & engine running .If he's toy orientated, take it with you & squeak it. He does seem to be staying in an area which is good news.

Sorry no results today Trena. Are the woods by the Uni or has he moved on a bit? The weather might have caused him to find a place with some good shelter. Don?t loose heart, even when you know a dog is definitely in an area it can take some time to catch them. Keep scenting, leaving familiar articles and food. If he?s got a good food supply there he?s less likely to move on. Sue

Just got in and checking on Ted. You're getting lots of sightings Trena which is good. Make sure every area he's sighted is well postered. Just seen him on the Uni web site. Have you checked with Security that Estates are also aware he might be on campus? If not it might be an idea to contact them directly. The Estates department covers the cleaners who will start work very early in the morning when he may be around looking for food. Their direct link if you need it is http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/services/estates/contact/ Come on Ted mate, give yourself up!!

The University security staff are being very helpful and hopefully Ted will stay around there. Owner, have sent you the information that we spoke about including the scenting instructions. Good luck tonight, fingers crossed he's home very soon. Sue
