Sadly there is no news on Oban as of today.

2018-03-15 16:01 ClaireC

Jenny wasnt contacted as Sophie had had a pack of some 30 beagles out from Stowe searching for him.

2018-03-15 10:15 Mary

Did you contact K9tracker.co.uk to see if Jenny could help?

2018-03-14 22:30 Sophie rickner

Looked today over in the area where possibly sighted, it’s vast. All we can do is keep looking and make sure the people who live and work in the area are aware of Oban.

2018-03-10 13:15 Sophie rickner

Sophie and I have been out searching the route from where they went for a walk to the point of being last seen today. They’ve had a drone out yesterday and also a pack of some 30 beagles trying to see if they could flush him out if he was hiding. They have had a lot school boarders out helping to search, especially within the first hour of being lost in the immediate area of last being seen. All the maintenance team,staff and security know that Oban is missing. When they are walking the grounds they are keeping an eye out for him. Sophie is going to research, through the school tonight, for someone from Stowe staff to use their boat and go around the couple of smaller lakes very near to where he was last seen. She is also going to enquiry about any divers again through the school at the moment. Although the lakes are not deep they are silted up and obviously deeper in the middle. This is the main worry that with the area in deep snow on Sun and with his failing eyesight that he may have gone onto the ice and it’s given way. Sophie is going to let me know if she able to secure any divers etc.

Sophie is going to ask the school in regard to a sub aqua club and also the maintenance team over there in regard to the lake. I will catch up with Sophie later on.

2018-03-08 07:50 ClaireC

As this is National Trust area, the use of posters are restricted. What I have suggested is to use A5 size and put on sides of poo bins in the car park.

Spreading the word on Twitter, praying Oban is found very soon sending love

Dear all. No luck with the drone but I am so grateful. Thank you so much for all of your help!

2018-03-07 21:36 ClaireC

I am informed that drones are not allowed to overfly National Trust areas. I am guessing that the drone that went up today, flew over the farmland as opposed to area actually lost in.

Spent nearly 4 hours today at Stowe with my dog. The area of the gardens is vast not to mention the surrounding farmlands.
Sophie needs help. More than us just looking.

2018-03-07 13:13 ClaireC

Skywalker no my other contacts who are more local to us.

Does this mean Jenny and Tiga can't help? Www.k9tracker.co.uk

2018-03-06 22:31 ClaireC

Sorry to say that I am unable to find a suitable scent tracker dog to help in a search. Please Sophie can you register Oban with DroneSAR on the two groups. Please can you also remind any volunteers that they are going into National Trust grounds and may need membership. Here if you need any further help or advice.

2018-03-06 15:07 ClaireC

We are now back but very sadly we saw nothing. On the plus side there are lots of dog walkers who are aware of missing Oban. Security guy I noticed had a poster by his barrier and because people have to wait is easily spotted. Our friend who is in charge of the maintenance teams, of which there seem to be a few out, seem to be aware and I am fairly confident that they will have been briefed about him. My contact with tracker dogs is unable to come over this week. I’ve yet to ask my other contact which I hope to do so this evening. A suggestion of a drone I think would be good in view of the fact that it is very rural over there. I do wonder if this was Oban ?sighted by the Burcott Farm shop though as seems quite a distance for a dog that is virtually blind. Just my opinion on that one though. I still remain cautious about the lake which is nearby and think this does need checking fairly regularly. I will post again later in regard to another scent dog.,

2018-03-06 10:17 Sophie rickner

Thank you so so much!!

2018-03-06 09:48 ClaireC

I am in the process of trying to contact a friend of mine to see if he would be available to help with his tracker dogs. If unavailable I do have another friend who may be able to help with her dog. Will update when I know more.

2018-03-06 09:45 ClaireC

Email back from our friend over to say that they will have a look around. We are just going over now.

2018-03-06 03:37 Mary

Sophie it might be worth filling out the online form on k9tracker.co.uk even if Jenny is unable to come and track she will give you Good advice.

2018-03-05 23:18 Sophie rickner

Thank you so much!

2018-03-05 23:09 ClaireC

Hi Sophie thank you. I’ve just left you a voicemail. We have a friend who my husband has emailed as he is the Superintendent of Works to let him know of your missing dog.

2018-03-05 22:31 Sophie rickner

It was the temple of ancient worthies. Thank you for any help

2018-03-05 22:30 ClaireC

Can anybody confirm that the area lost in is the Ancient Virtue or the Temple of the Ancient Worthies please?

Thank you for any help you can give! We were just out walking he never strays s he sticks to me like glue. Turned around and he was gone. We both ran in opposit direction and he was just gone. Horrid. Food, his bed and some of my clothes are out where he went x

2018-03-05 22:13 ClaireC

If anybody is around the area searching, please can they keep an eye on the river area nearby.

2018-03-05 22:11 Mary

Is there somewhere sheltered near where he was last seen you can leave some bedding and some smelly food and perhaps his favourite toy if you have not already done so.

Can go out tomorrow morning for a while and have a look. I don’t think he will have gone too far away from where lost. There is a small cafe around there I think and maybe an idea to give them a poster to see if they will display.
