I can e-mail you the article if you give me your address- it's also on the Yorks post website. It is good to promote the work you people do. I'm part of it now looking for Freddie

Fantastic article & shows exactly what we are all about. Must admit it's nice to see helpers registering in the area & hope you will all stay on board. I dont like dogs missing but it such a pleasure to get them back. If anyone can find spare copies of Yorkshire Post please buy 3 & let me know where to meet you. All the newsagents nr Pam & I have sold out!

What a wonderful article ! So well written and telling the story from the point of view of the owner and all the anguish they suffer when they lose their dog but then illustrating how doglost can assist an owner, advising them what they need to do and be there to help them and give them hope ! Well done Tom for such an outstanding article X Pam

Fantastic media coverage, a very big THANK YOU to Tom Goodhand for writing it and the Yorkshire Post for printing it. This is one reunion that shows just how DL works and how brilliant everyone works together. Lovely reunion piccie. Great to see Raoul's family are now going to stay onboard and help turn more dogs into the BLUE. Jan x

That is a wonderful article - do you think the YP/your son would do a feature about Georgie, missing boxer from HX7 (last spotted BD22). He has been out for nearly two months and his owners are desperate to find him. They don't live locally so a few of us locals are doing what we can, but we don't know Georgie and he doesn't know us. An article like this might raise his profile. Please, pretty please :)

And so is Raoul of course. You bad little monkey. I hope you are fully recovered and being a good boy now. You are going to have to learn how to be a Doglost sniffer outer to help your Mum and the brilliant team up there. Well done all x

we have now begun to put together R's 27 hours of being lost. He bolted during a walk on a busy lake - Newmillerdam. Ran into extensive woodlands and then returned to near the 'bolt place' and worked his way along a main road- which was also his way home. He went to ground at dusk in fields near houses. We picked up the trail the next day by pestering anyone walking a dog, giving them a flyer and postering the area. The calls came in thick and fast and enabled us to follow him across feilds and roads. Eventually two young boys followed him after the mother of one of them had nearly hit him on the oroad. He loves children and allowed them to approach. They phoned us. GG and her partner drove us there and there he was!!!!! I wept with joy.

we have been out tonight along the Barnsley Road and taken some of the posters down at the parking areas for Secker and New Millerdam woods. I have spoken to Raoul'S Dad this evening and he said Raoul is very tired but so glad to be home !! They will take him to the vets to have his paw checked tomorrow but it does'nt seem anything serious. I'm just so delighted that this young boy is back home safe with his family tonight. Please any of you that helped look for Raoul remember Rachel who is still searching for her beloved tri coloured border collie Freddie who has been missing now for 10 days and if you can help her too.WELCOME HOME Raoul xxx Pam

Well Done Everyone & thanks Jumanji for doing all you have during my hols. Brilliant to see all new helpers in the area as we've been on our own for a long time. Great to see this youngster back home safe as the area is vast & he could have gone in many different directions without been seen. You've done a fantastic job, all we need now is Freddie & things are back to normal. Welcome Home Raoul.x

Thanks to everybody, you have been brilliant. Huge special thanks to Geeky Girl and her partner who walked the walk, talked the talk and drove us from sighting to sighting. And to Di, from Spanish Water Dogs Club, who came all the way from Manchester with her dog Anton to help us look. To Smiley Cheesecake and her partner who checked out one whole major area for us. To Pam and Jayne for advise and co-ordination and to Rachel busy looking for Freddie who took time out to give me calm advice when I was on the edge of panic. I'm a total convert to the site and will be a doglost helper whenever I possibly can. We might have seen Freddie in our searches, we've let Rachel know. I will contact her to help. This site is manned by saints and all of our family owe you a huge debt. The kindness of strangers is humbling, but much appreciated.

It's brilliant that he is back. He looked ever so pleased to see his mummy!!! It just shows that with alot of help and postering it pays off. If anybody is going up near the Pledwick estate I had put some posters up that way. I am sure that Maura will update you with the details once she has calmed down as it did get quite frantic with a lot of phone calls!! GG

Been upto Walton woods and postered everywhere possible and spend 2 hours whistling around woods. Unfortnatly no sign but at least plenty of posters up there. Fingers crossed that hes been found. Just spoke to Maura and they are were two mins away from where he was last seen so i have everythign crossed for her.

Been up and down the roads between Newmillerdam and Walton. Come back to try and get some posters printed off and to collect my own dogs and whistles. We will make our way up to the Walton end of Newmillerdam woods and put posters out where we can. Will try and get Walton postered too but i will let you know when we get back. Keeping our eyes peeled for a black heap of fur :-) Im sure he wont be long before hes back home.

maura, welcome on board DL and thank you for registering and updating us. Everyone on here will do their best to help you find Raoul. I've done smaller posters, as requested by Jumanji and emailed to Yasa to go on the Info Centre, they may not be available until later. Hope they help in the search for him and he is in the blue soon. Good luck. Jan x

Thanks to you all for your help. You are so kind. I went to the area at 6.30 this morning and put posters in both car parks adjacent to the lake and the two furtherr up the Barnsley Rd which lead into Secker Woods The last sighting we had of him was about 4pm yesterday on School Hill at the car park which is just up the hill from the Fox and Hounds pub. We are going down again around 9am. It would be good to know where the Frdddie walk is going so that we don't overlap and can cover more ground looking for both dogs. My mobile is 07841473916. Your kindness has touched us deeply

(some links on the breed) With Raoul not being a familiar breed if picked up and taken to police or rescue he may well not be recognised, I feel he could be down as a bearded collie cross or terrier cross. Good luck in the search and hope to see him in the blue soon. Jan x

If theres an organised search please let me know what time and where. Otherwise i will go for a walk around with a spare lead. Hope hes home soon Sam

Yes it is GG ! I have spoken with the owners and they have already done some postering but will be doing more. I have also alerted the owner of Freddie the border collie who went missing in WF4 but has now been sighted in Netherton. She plus several friends and family will also be keeping a look out for Raoul as they search for Freddie tomorrow. Owners need to poster as much as possible to cover a wider area and also keep checking with the police and local pounds. Stay safe Raoul until you are found xxxx Pam

My Mum saw a black dog today at about 13:25 running from the Dam In side of Newmiller dam across the road to the Beauty Mill side of the road then back again and into the Fox and Houns Pub side of Newmiller Dam. The dog was being chased by a woman and there was a man flagging down the drivers to slow down. Is this the same dog??? GG
