FREDDIES been Missing TWO YEARS
Families post ⬇️
“ Two years today, Freddie 💔

Two years since that horrible, stormy day that changed our lives forever. Two years since we lost our best friend. Two years of searching for answers, longing for closure, hoping for a miracle. Two very long years without you, Freddie.

I just hope you know that wherever you are, whether you are in this life or the next, that you are missed beyond measure. As they say, grief is the price we pay for love, and I will pay it until we meet again. It reminds me how much we love you, and just how very special you were, Freddie.

P.S. There are two new members of the pack - Howie and Henry - who are desperate to meet you 🐶💕

#FindFreddie

HUGE CASH REWARD FOR FREDDIE’S SAFE RETURN 💰

Please don`t give up searching for Freddie. it isn`t too late, Some dogs have been found who had been missing much longer than Freddie. He may have been stolen I would contact Colin Butcher (Ex police detective) who now works as a pet detective, and has had much success in locating LOST and STOLEN dogs whilst in the police force, and as a pet detective. He resides in Surrey. Although a private company. money donated by helpers goes towards searches etc for those on low incomes. He also has contacts with other police forces over the UK.. His details: email info@the pet detectives.com Phone 01403 753 463. Worth a try Paws xd.

2020-11-02 08:24 LH

It's heartbreaking that he's not been found after such great efforts. I check every day for updates in the hope that there's good news. We can only keep hoping. xx

2020-11-02 05:22 Happy hounds

If only you had closure. Must be heartbreaking. He was so adored and very adorable. So heart wrenching reading this. What an amazing tale of human kindness tho. Wishing you much strength 💔

Con't from below
You may not have known Freddie, but he was/is the bounciest, happiest, (most handsome) goldie you could ever meet, we were so lucky to have him. Bella too thought he was perfect, the perfect friend for zoomies on the beach ! If, despite so much wonderful help, Freddie doesn’t come back to us, he will always be that perfect, happy, joyful dog in our memories.

BUT when we think of Freddie now, we won’t just remember him, but also the people of Cornwall, who have moved heaven and earth, done more than anybody could ever imagine, in the most appalling weather to search for him.

It is staggering, what people have done for us, in the search for Freddie. We can only say Thank You All , so very very very much. If love could bring him home, he would have been brought back to us a million times over.

From Tony (Freddies Dad), posted on Freddies facebook page

Carol and I are not really social media people, that is Jess’s domain. However, we have to say something to you all.

It has been 3 weeks now since Freddie went missing off Holywell beach, just as Storm Alex began battering the Cornish coast. He is a wonderful young Goldie, bouncy, fun and friends with every person and every dog he ever met. Sometimes it seems unlikely we will find Freddie now, and that is so very sad.

One thing that is not sad though, one thing that has absolutely staggered this family, is the sheer amount of kindness, shown to this family since Freddie went missing.

When we contacted [Dog Lost] Cornwall, we were desperate, but just expected his details to be entered onto a database. What we didn’t expect was the mammoth effort put in by hundreds of people across north Cornwall that would be triggered by that call. I cannot believe what Maxine Young and her friends have organised and achieved; it is truly unbelievable.

We would like to thank all individually, all of the hundreds of people, lovely people who have helped look for Freddie. Maxine, Sally, Natasha, Sarah, Cat, Natalia, Steve, the Coastguard, the shopkeepers, the National Trust, the Cornish retrievers society, Holywell Surf club, local radio stations, local newspapers, local businesses... but truly the list is so long, we just don’t know where to begin or to end.

Freddie has had literally hundreds of people in the most appalling weather looking for him. The coastguard helped us, young and old came out to look. People walked the coast between Perranporth and Crantock time and time and time again, looking in all the places a dog may hide, often done in appalling weather.

I have hundreds of tales of kindness I could tell. Of old people struggling to walk, but coming out to help as much as they could, people on cliff tops walking and searching in the most appalling weather that Cornwall could offer. . People cooking sausages, flying drones, sticking posters, bringing bitches and giant rabbits out to tempt him of hiding !

Here is just one tale. We were searching the first Sunday in Storm Alex, in the most appalling weather, the wind was howling and rain was heavy and torrential. Coming towards us from Cubert common, where a young couple with two young children in weatherproof covering on their backs. With them was a young golden retriever. We spoke and told them we had lost our dog Freddie, but they already knew about Freddie from [Dog Lost] and that is why they were out in that appalling weather!! They were looking for Freddie, a dog they didn’t know, belonging to people they didn’t know, in the most appalling weather you could ever imagine. Such compassion, such humanity, one could cry at such kindness and that is just one story in hundreds this family could tell about the people of North Cornwall.

My daughter Jess and her husband Dylan followed us down and such kindness was shown to them by everyone they came across.
#FindFreddie and Freddie’s story has so far been one of great sadness. But in these times of stress and turmoil, across the country and the world, let me tell you all reading this !! what the people of North Cornwall and beyond, have done for us, the kindness, thoughtfulness, compassion and sheer hard work, for a dog they didn’t know, for strangers they didn’t know, is kindness and compassion beyond my comprehension.
You may not have known Freddie, but he was/is the bounciest, happiest, (most handsome) goldie you could ever meet, we were so l

Corrine - thank you, Freddie's team are following up this info.

2020-10-19 10:04 Corrine

Hi,I have just received some more info re: my colleagues siting of a dog Fri a.m. I have copied the info below.

That’s a good idea! Sorry this is a bit slow coming to you but the road I was on doesn’t have a name that I can see, if you go from Devoran roundabout and then go straight over at the Old Carnon Hill crossroads you’re on a long straight road with lots of overhanging trees etc. The dog was near the railway bridge, I had a quick look on Google Maps, the approximate location is: 50°13'25.4"N 5°06'19.7"W.

It was moving very fast and I was at a bit of a distance so hard to say for sure but it was sandy coloured and looked like a golden retriever type dog – definitely mainly that colour and roughly the same size, maybe a little bit smaller? I wasn’t close enough to see if the dog had any markings/a collar etc. It ran into the shrubs under the railway bridge and didn’t come when I called. Seemed terrified, poor thing. Thanks for putting this info out there J

2020-10-17 11:26 Corrine

Hi, I know this is a long shot, and I have very few details, but I have just started working at Treliske hospital in Truro and yesterday morning about 09:30 I overheard someone in an office phoning a local vet (I'm sorry I don't know which vet). to report seeing a dog running by the roadside (she said it looked like a lab or a retriever). She stopped to try to catch the dog but it was spooked and ran off. I am so sorry I can't give more details as I don't know the member of staff's last name, or have any contact details for her. But I do know she comes in from the opposite side of the hospital (so that's the north/west side). The best I can do is phone the hospital when she is in Monday morning to ask where she saw the dog, then update you on here. I hope I haven't added to your distress, and I realise this could be a dog that escaped from a garden but I will update you further on Monday as soon as I have more info.

2020-10-10 13:32 Kinsally

Can’t stop thinking about this boy.
I have copied Cornwalls Pirate Fm into a tweet for missing Freddie so I’m really hoping they will do that for him & get the word out to more people in Cornwall xxx

Keep checking for news on this boy.
I really hope once the weather settles a bit that Freddie will show himself as yes Max he may well be sheltering up somewhere.
It’s just a thought but are there any live web/surf cams on the beaches around there? I know there’s quite a few about on the Cornish coast.
Stay safe Freddie xxx

2020-10-04 13:32 DogLostMax - Area Co-ordinator - Cornwall & Area Volunteer - Durham & Ireland

Despite quite an extensive search of dunes area/beach/coves/inland, there have been no sightings.
Owner getting posters printed to put around whole of area.
The weather for the last 2 days has been awful, with strong winds & heavy showers. It is hope Freddie is sheltering somewhere & when it calms down he will show himself.

Thanks Scruffy Dog - a member of Freddie's family has seen the post and has said the found dog in Birmingham area is too old to be a match.

2020-10-04 08:56 Kinsally

Good luck today with the search, I wish I could help but a bit too far from me.
I really hope dear Freddie is found safe & sound xxx

2020-10-03 17:25 Kinsally

Poor Freddie i keep looking for any updates & checking social media incase anyone’s found him.
There’s so many coves round the area. Is there any chance Freddie could of swam out a bit when the tide came in & has got out the water further up along the coast?
His poor owners must be beside themselves with worry. Praying Freddie is found safe & sound ASAP xx
