Fantastic news. So pleased Simba is safe at last. Used to live in Aldbourne and know how hard searching the area must have been.

Welcome home Simba, please don't go to ground again, hopefully an area of the garden can be fenced in some way as a safe area for him.

Copied from Hungerford Notice Board --->SIMBA IS ALIVE!! 😃🐶
After 14 days - 326 hours of torture, not knowing exactly which hole he must have fallen down, HE HAS RETURNED!
He’s almost half his body weight, very shellshocked, severely dehydrated, emaciated, light sensitive and extremely dirty, but we're confident he’ll make a full recovery. The vet is caring for him for the next 48 hours ... it is truly a miracle.
We are completely overwhelmed and thank you for your extraordinary kindness and prayers over the last two agonising weeks - collectively I believe we all brought him home

Absolutely gutted but hoping for a miracle x
DogLostReynard
Sadly after a Herculean effort from Simba's family & The brilliant Wilts & Hants Fire Service , Snake Cameras , Listening devices , RSPCA, Terriers, a Bloodhound lots of Volunteers , due to the difficult terrain & rock like conditions & no real fix on which of the myriad of holes & tunnels & 7 exhausting days since Simba literally disapreard the digging has come to an end & sadly it is believed that Simba has gone to Rainbow bridge :(

I am not going to close this for now but will wait a little longer in Hope xLast edited: 2020-06-16 20:44:27 by Reynard

Following Simba’s story. Really hope he gets found safely today x
DogLostReynard
Firebrigade are helping but unfortunately because the area is thick chalk its making things very difficult.
Please send positive vibes for Simba x
DogLostReynard
No news sadly :(
DogLostReynard
Still no sightings Kathy is convinced Simba is down.one of the many Rabbit Holes behind her house :(
Needs an experience person & dog who can try to pinpoint & locate which Rabbit Hole.
DogLostReynard
Simba is still missing :(
I have had no update (but can see on FB posts) I have ask for Drone help & see Simba is also on Drone SAR page , have given advice on how to obtain an Inspection Camera or just how to listen at each hole but gather there are many !
Postering is so important also , so hopefully Kathy has help with that .
DogLostReynard
"Kathy Arnott .....he went missing in the private farmland around our house.
There are either cows or crops in the fields and we have searched these and couldn’t have big groups walking over them as it isn’t our land.
The place I would recommend people to look would be the Ridgeway - running down from Baydon to Lottage Road - and from Aldbourne along to the Four Barrows.
Unless he has been taken by a bird of prey we think it’s most likely he’s down a rabbit hole. We are absolutely devastated 🙏🏼"

Kathy is also asking to borrow a Inspection/ Endescope Camera ...anyone ?
DogLostReynard
I see Simba has been posted to Hungerford FB page & has lots of advice & help.
Drone SAR and a Bloodhound as well! Which is wonderful.x

I have sent advice just in case not everything has been covered.

Does the adjacent Farm have crops or livestock? the crops are getting quite high now & dogs especially small ones can get lost & disoriented .
Any footpaths people walking near by ?

Dog warden would possible be Vale of White Horse http://www.whitehorsedc.gov.uk/services-and-advice/environment-and-neighbourhood-issues/ive-lost-my-dog

But worth contacting Swindon also https://www.swindon.gov.uk/forms/form/354/en/report_a_lost_dog

& Wiltshire County Council as all Dog Wardens overlap this area .
