- It seems to me that most dog are stolen from woods Maybe the dog napper hides there, and tempts the dog with treats? Anyway keep making Dexter "TOO HOT TO HANDLE" Never too late, as proved by Daisy missing for 7 years. All xd.

- Dexter has been missing 4 years today π Update on FB
DEXTER - LONG TERM MISSING/STOLEN π
4 years ago Dexter vanished and our lives changed forever.
What followed was months of tireless on-ground searching, sleepless nights, constant phone calls, following up every possible sighting near us, handing out thousands of leaflets and posters, and doing everything we could think of to try and find something that would lead us to him. But we were never alone, and all these years later and we are still supported by Dexter’s army with eyes peeled across the country for him. I will never recover the feeling of not knowing what’s happened to our boy, but the amount of support we are surrounded by through this group keeps me pushing on. We’ll never be able to thank you all enough for what you have all done for us & Dexter over the last 4 years.
Dexter disappeared whilst on a walk in Hogback Woods, Beaconsfield, Buckinghamshire, HP9 area on 14/01/21. He is an adult male Fox Red Labrador, neutered and microchipped with his details up to date. He would now be 11 and should be living out his golden years at home with his family π
There is a £5000 reward for Dexter’s safe return. This is a heartfelt appeal, if you think you know something, please just do the right thing.

- Happy Birthday beautiful Dexter. Hoping and praying you will one day be reunited with your family. xxx
- 2024-12-22 14:30 TrudielovesMax!
- Keep making Dexter "TOO HOT TO HANDLE" It`s never too late. Maybe you could post a STOLEN DOG ad in a National newspaper, and put up posters in ALL AREAS. Also contact vets to see if he/she has treated a dog answering Dexter`s description. Everything xd for you x
- 2024-12-22 14:21 TrudielovesMax!
- HAPPY 11TH BIRTHDAY. If anyone has any recollection of what happened to Dexter almost four years ago, please phone the police on the above number/s, or if you prefer contact Doglost on 0844 800 3220; it will be treated in the strictest of confidences; that`s reassured. Please get yourself found very soon, Dexter. All xd.

- From Dexter's twitter:
Today is our Dexter’s 11th birthday, and 1,438 days since he went missing. He should be here at home living out his golden years with his family π
Happy birthday Dexter, wherever you are, you are so loved and we miss you more than anything.

π WHERE ARE YOU DEXTER? π
Almost 4 years ago our heartbreak began, the vanishing of our beloved Dexter and years of not knowing what happened to him, the hole in our family that has never been filled, and pain.
As we come into 2025 we are still hoping we might get answers…or possibly a miracle and we see our boy again.
Dexter vanished from Hogback Woods, Beaconsfield, HP9 area on 14th January 2021. We have had NO 100% confirmed sightings of him since. He is a male Fox Red Labrador, NEUTERED and MICROCHIPPED. His 11th birthday is in December so he will look older than our photos now.
Please can we get as many shares as possible this Christmas? We are just desperate for some sort of answer to what happened to Dexter π
CONTACT US IN CONFIDENCE - you can message me via Messenger or on the contact numbers on Dexter’s poster. PLEASE DO THE RIGHT THING IF YOU THINK YOU KNOW SOMETHING, PICK UP THAT PHONE π
IF YOU HAVE DEXTER, drop him to your local vets. He will be scanned for his microchip and reunited with us, NO QUESTIONS ASKED π«π«π«

- Message from owners:
UPDATE: Morning everyone, I’d just like to outline our plan for today. Based on what we know so far he is making an appearance at a certain area on Gregories Road. Based on the advice we’ve been given, our plan is to situate ourselves in that area in our car. It would be most helpful if you could avoid that road on foot and when out searching as we will have it covered.
What would be most helpful would be general walking (with no calling of his name) in Hogback Woods and surrounding area. To reiterate, if you do see him he is likely to be extremely scared so it’s more about sighting him and calling us immediately on the numbers below
KIM: 07944873645 or
LIV: 07860639757
Thank you everyone for the help these last couple of days, we just want to get our boy homeπ
