It's wonderful to have the support from you all. It's great to have the family back together again. Needless to say, Flo and Grace have slept all day almost! They are both rather thin, and Flo has sore feet, but they're remarkably clean and tidy after 4 nights on the tiles. The lovely people who spotted them and took the trouble to phone came to see us today and meet the dogs. They're on holiday in the area and are dog owners too. We've spent the rest of the day taking down posters. Thank you, fly, I heard from Harry's mum you were doing the same! We're also in the middle of emailing all and sundry to 'undo' all the alerts. I can't thank you all enough, my Irish Setter friends too.

THANK GOD - how wonderful that they were seen and some lovely person responded appropriately. (Wish we had been so lucky with our beloved Sian, but still hoping for some news.) Saw your poster at Nyland Farm Shop yesterday - you worked well. Am sure Grace and Flo are very happy to be home. Love to all Sian's family. xx

Wonderful news & poster power does the trick yet again. So pleased to see them both home safe.x Well done for having them tagged & chipped-so many are not & it would help get a dog home.

Thrilled that the girls are back after their adventure. Have ped Janton a pm as found out my husband worked with her husband a few years ago - small world! As the owner of 3 Irish Setters myself I know they can be a bit adventurous - my eldest dogs's breeder had 2 Irish Setters that went AWOL a few years ago and had to advertise them on Radio Devon!

Wonderful news that these two are safely home. Makes you again realise the poster power that goes on. They are both now curled up fast asleep at home with a thrilled owner. I do wonder what these girls got up to on their travels, they were 5 miles from home, they were found in a ploughed field. Wonder if they escaped from the garden or were taken and got away, spose till dogs can talk we will never find out. Whatever, such lovely news. Owner has said she is going to be another helper for any missing in her area. Great.

We've got them back! A kind lady spotted them in a field after seeing our poster and left us a message. we got to the field an hour later and they were still there! Very nervous, and they've lost weight, but otherwisethey seem none the worse for their adventure. Thank you everybody for all your caring, and help. I'll be glad to help anyone else in this situation, any time.

Hi. I am nowhere near, but I have a lot of contacts and have asked people to circulate details on any dog forums etc they are members of. I really hope they show up soon, safe and sound. x

Thank you everyone for your kind thoughts and suggestions. We have already laminated posters,and distributed in Cheddar and surrounding villages. Also emailed posters to friends further afield, and contacted Irish Setter Rescue. Have contacted Heaven's Gate etc., also Ferne Animal Sanctuary. Daughter is a Guide Dog trainer, so the Guide Dogs for the Blind Association is also aware, in all the different areas that it operates . Local vets have been contacted, and there should now be posters in Wells and Weston. No news yet.

owner contacted and asked to register on site. RSPCA, local vets, dog wardens notified. Postering in progress. Distisguished looking dogs will stand out so the more people looking the better.
