Have posted in the dogslost facebook group & it was suggested this could be Bess - my mum spotted a black labrador-type dog in a field along Westley Lane in Horringer (left-hand side as you head into Horringer) looked like the dog was alone but she wasn't able to stop.

do you think a humane trap can be put in the last place Bess was seen or at least in the place she went missing with food?

2018-04-22 13:23 DogLostNina

Can posters be dropped off at local schools and colleges. Put into post boxes so they find their way to the sorting office and posters into as many cars as possible Has scenting trails been done.

I went out to Santon Downham on Saturday and West Tofts Sunday down tracks 33 and 36 but sadly no sightings. Was great to see all of Bess' posters up at Santon Downham and asked several walkers/bird watchers and a lady who owned some ponies there to keep an eye out, some people were aware of Bess being missing, so fingers crossed she will be home very soon xxx

From Lee, Bess's owner....
Theres still no 100% confirmed sightings in 16 days now.
However there’s a very good chance she has been spotted on the battle area ( west toffs region).If you are in this area please look out for Bess and call immediately

2018-03-30 18:26 DogLostHelen - Regional Co-ordinator - Norfolk, Suffolk and Cambridge

Thanks Jane, this dog has been checked and sadly not a match for Bess.

A black lab bitch has been handed into Vets for Pets Sudbury, looking very similar to Bess. Also posted on Lost & Stolen gundogs group https://www.facebook.com/groups/227656023989200/permalink/1663143180440470/

2018-03-30 12:25 Victoria18

Heading out to santon downham this afternoon for a look for beautiful Bess, fingers crossed she’s out there. Been watching the Lost and Found tv prog and they say dogs go to ground during the day and come out at night looking for food and that they tend to be near home when found. Here’s hoping xxx

Please let us know if you are planning further searches, more than happy to join in to cover some extra ground - if not then perhaps we ought to do one over the Easter period.

OK thanks for the heads up I will let my dog walking friends in Brandon know also xxx

Victoria, I don’t know if there is another search planned yet, I think people are searching as and when they have the time and spreading the word by speaking to people.
Not sure if what she is like around other dogs but I do know she is a nervous timid dog.

2018-03-27 10:15 Victoria18

Sorry I missed the search, are you having another one over the weekend as I could help with that one. Is Bess nervous around other dogs or will they 'draw' her out, as could bring our cocker spaniel who is good with other dogs to help? xxx

2018-03-24 16:54 DogLostHelen - Regional Co-ordinator - Norfolk, Suffolk and Cambridge

Sadly no sightings today from the organised search, please continue to look out for Bess and contact the owner immediately if you do see her.

2018-03-24 10:20 DogLostJayne - Founder Doglost.

Good luck everyone!

**SEARCH PARTY TODAY 24th March**
From Lee....
This is gonna be a big ask but ......
As we’ve had no sightings I’d like to organise a search, the thought of her injured or trapped plays on my mind heavily,and split the groups into sections.
Highlodge ( ideally for those on bikes)
Santon downham
The country park in Brandon
Brandon river etc etc
I know this is a big ask but if anybody is available Saturday between 11 onwards please let me know.
Cheers for all your support
Lee

2018-03-19 07:21 DogLostHelen - Regional Co-ordinator - Norfolk, Suffolk and Cambridge

From Jess’s owner....
Morning everybody.
Sightings have dried up in the last 48 hours or so. This could be down to the recent cold weather. If anybody sees her out and about could you please contact me with the location.

2018-03-16 19:00 DogLostHelen - Regional Co-ordinator - Norfolk, Suffolk and Cambridge

Update from Bess’s owner
Unfortunately people have been searching for Bess and have been going down there with leads and calling her which has spooked her.
If you do see Bess please walk away and leave her alone.
She is running scared and isn’t settling in one area...

2018-03-16 10:05 Victoria18

Yes will do Lee, fingers crossed xxx

2018-03-16 00:12 Georgy Porgy

2018-03-15 11:56 DogLostHelen - Regional Co-ordinator - Norfolk, Suffolk and Cambridge

Update from owner : Hi everybody and firstly thanks for all your help. Secondly could I please ask everybody to stop searching. She has been spotted and is in observation by the trappers. So on there advice can we all leave her be now please. Once again thank you all very much and hopefully I will be updating you with good news soon. Lee

2018-03-15 08:35 Victoria18

Have added to FB page and contacted friends who live in Brandon and walk their dogs in forest. I live in Weeting so please let me know if you need feet on the ground to help bring Bess home. I can print posters off too. We walk our dogs in Hockwold area which isn't fair from where she has been sighted and will put word out to other dog walkers to keep an eye out and to call owner if seen. I never received an email on this DOGLOST so did one get sent out to the other people registered to help? xxx

Sorry to see that BESS is missing.

• If your dog is microchipped please let the microchip company know that your dog is missing and check that all details are up to date.
• Owners targeted by a malicious hoaxer demanding money for the return of their dog should phone the police on 101 immediately and contact admin@doglost.co.uk
• A photograph of your dog is essential for the website. If you have not already uploaded one, please do so by clicking on Update details. Alternatively you can email it to admin@doglost.co.uk quoting the dog's DogLost ID number: (126254)
• Obtain a missing poster by clicking on View poster above. Posters are very important so start postering now!
• You will need to be logged in to upload photos, edit your dog's details, or add comments. You can add comments by clicking on Click here to add a comment.
• Contact dog wardens, vets and local rescue centres, and in Scotland, the Police. Give a detailed description with any distinguishing marks/scars or send them a copy of your DogLost poster. You can find vets in your area here.
