I have just been looking at Hillside Dog Rescue and there is a dog just like Muppet which has been rehomed. No dates given - but he is called Stitch. The website is http://www.hillside.org.uk/HillsideDogRescue It may be worth checking out as although this one has been rehomed - it would be good to actually know where he is. Julie x

I know that Muppet had a distinctive scar which was only visible when the fur was parted. His owners also thought that the chip could have moved following an operation on the back of Muppet's neck. Would be wonderful if we could find Muppet as I've never forgotten about him.

There is a large male Rottweiler on Colchester website:- http://www.colchester.gov.uk/lost_dogs_list.asp?sec_id=691 The description is brief, says not microchipped so it's a long shot. they don't include pictures unfortunately

I cant believe Muppet was stolen from a NYE party!!!! ive seen him on here before and other websites but didnt realise, blimmin lowlifes!!!  this one maybe worth looking at as markings are similar and has fairly short ears like Muppet   http://www.strayaid.co.uk/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=947:e414-09&catid=11:coxhoe&Itemid=17

There is a 3 year male Rottie for rehoming on the manytearsrescue site - it's a very long shot, but he has similar facial markings, but no details of whether docked or where he has come from. Just a thought.

The St Giles Rotti is not Muppet. I've compared the picture to my photos and his markings are different to Muppet. I called St Giles but the man that answered the phone was very unhelpful. After some probing, he decided that the Rotti had been scanned for a microchip but none was found.

I remember reading about Muppet not long after he went missing and it pulled on my heart strings so much.  I was only thinking the other day about whether he had been found or not, so sad he is not home where he belongs :( Thinking of you and really hope that he returns to you soon.  A lady in our local paper was reunited with her stolen rottie three years later through the microchip, so never give up!   X

Thank you for bumping Muppet to the top of the list again. During the latter part of 2009 we did have news of some sightings but they never amounted to anything. All of Muppet's friends in London are still looking for him. Whenever we hear any word of a Rotti sighted in London, a friend has gone to investigate. We miss him every single day and of course still cry for him. I just hope & pray that wherever he is, he is having a wonderful doggy life. Thank you DogLost for keeping up hopes.

I have received a text message from Muppet's owners to say that there is still no news of Muppet (it's a year on from when he went missing during a New Year Eve's party in the Millwall area of SE London). They have resigned themselves to the fact that they won't see him again but accept (and hope!) that miracles can and do happen. As we know here on DL, we have many long-term once missing, now reunited, stories to tell. Hence the reason for bumping him up to the top just in case any of our newer helpers may have the information that we have been all waiting for. Does anyone have any info/clues/ideas as to his possible whereabouts? Muppet does have a distinguishing scar on his body which can only be seen when the fur is parted. He is also chipped. I long to see this handsome boy in the Blue. Fingers crossed here!

I have sent texts to Muppet's owners and have received a text back. Monica was going out to buy a copy (Monica have you managed to buy a copy - I always have to head to WH Smith's to buy mine?!). I've only just managed to buy my copy of Dogs Today today (!) which has a lovely picture of Muppet on the beach looking extremely handsome. I hope that Muppet's story, as well as Treacle, the Whippet cross and Princess, the Sheltie's stories brings the phone calls all their owners have been waiting for. Good Luck for our still missing boys and girls!!!

Frank & Monica, Did you receive my email with a link to the 3 year old found Rottie in Essex which was sent to me courtesy of Jotty (thanks Jotty!). Please check 'Magnum' out (same name as my dearly departed very special Rottie boy) cos he looks similar to Muppet (although difficult to tell from the photo provided) and Essex is obviously very close to where he was stolen from.

Hi Frank & Monica, I'm so sorry that's there's still no news on Muppet. How strange that a great big handsome thing like him seems to have disappeared into thin air. Have you managed to gain anymore media coverage lately? If so, please let us know (just call me or Head Office) so that we can 'bump him up' to the top of the site. I think about Muppet often and where he might be and always check out any Rotties I come across. I travelled into London on Wednesday and my OH pointed out Southwark Park from the train and so even he remembers what I have told him about your Muppet! I'm still hopeful that whoever has him will slip up and that he will be picked and scanned one day very soon and I just can't wait to get that call from you that Muppet is back home. Please call me if you need any help. Good Luck...x

The RSPCA in Hillingdon are having an open day tomorrow (Saturday 28th Feb) and apparently have some rotties looking for new homes. They cover the Hillingdon, Slough and Windsor district, but it might be worth you going along as Muppet could be anywhere by now. You can go along between 11am-3pm and they are at 123 Uxbridge Road, Hillingdon, Middx UB10 0LQ.

Hello   The Rotti in Yorkshire does look like Muppet but it's not him. I called the kennels and although the dog had been microchipped to a lady in Wales (I nearly fainted), it's not me. The dog wardens had already spoken to her and confirmed he was hers. She re-homed him to someone in the Yorkshire area. The dog at RSPCA altrincham-cheshire is also not Muppet. I've spoken to Petlog today and they have agreed to re-email all their agents, including vets, within a 30 mile radius of where Muppet was taken.   Thank you to everyone for keeping an eye out. I hope and pray it pays off one day.

Frank, thanks for letting us know the outcome of the Brighton Rottie. I'm so sorry it wasn't Muppet. You've both been brilliant at sticking at it and following up each and every lead. I hope that the better (and warmer) weather will help to bring Muppet to light cos you so deserve to get him back. Onwards!!!

Hi all, The big issue co-ordinator in Brighton has confirmed that the dog in Brighton was not Muppet. The dog's name was Barnie, and he has gone back to his rightful owners. Long story, but I'm convinced it's true. Thanx though!

Hi All I've had a look on k9 search but none of the Rotti's (with pictures) are Muppet. I have written to them today with pictures of Muppet. The police advised that they are no longer actively investigating our case but Muppet remains on their records so if he is seen and reported to them, they will follow it up. The Brighton lead is still active. We've been told that the Big Issue junkie no longer has the Rotti because he was just looking after it for someone else. We have a contact there who is trying to track this junkie down so we can talk to him. Due to vehicle problems we couldn't get to Brighton this week but Frank has arranged to meet out contact there next week.

Hi Monica, It's so good to hear that you're still on Muppet's case as I think about him often and where he may have got to. Did the police give you a reason why they closed Muppet's case? Afterall, they didn't exactly give it much time, did they? It's also great to hear that people are looking out for Muppet and are aware that he's still missing. I feel certain that he will suddenly come to light and hope my feelings are correct. As Jayne says, please don't just rely on the chip but I know that he also has a distinguishing scar, which could come is useful for ID. Certinaly the West Ham possible sighting is feasible as it's not that far away from Bermondsey. Good Luck - hope it's him!

Hi All After weeks of silence, there has been some activity but unfortunately none successful. Last week a chap called who had a male Rotti. He had read the DogLost pages and thought it might be Muppet. He had bought the Rotti a few weeks previously but under suspicious circumstances. He kindly agreed to take the dog to a vet to be scanned but it was not Muppet. We've had a tip-off about a street in West Ham London - Frank has been scouting it out all day today but no sight of Muppet. We were also given information about a junkie in Brighton who has been seen walking around with a Rotti he calls Muppet. Frank is going to Brighton on Tuesday to investigate. We've had another call from a man in Norfolk who cliams to have seen a Rotti and when called, responded very obviously to the name of Muppet. We have a friend looking into this one. We continue to search Gumtree and new sight called vistastreet looking for Rotti's that are for sale in the hope one of them is Muppet. We ring Battersea every week and as already said, Muppet has been re-registered with RSPCA.

Thanks Ashmark! Have received text back from Muppet's owners saying that, sadly, found Rottie 16963 is not Muppet. Also Frank & Monica received a call from the police yesterday to say that the case has now been closed (for the second time!). Can they just do that, afterall Muppet, their 'property' is still classified as stolen?

Hello Had a call from the Dogs Trust today in response to my email. Although they don't take in stray dogs and only deal with dog wardens, the lady was very kind in agreeing to email Muppets Doglost poster to her centres. She re-assured me that they check for micro-chips on all the dogs they get in and that if Muppet came through them, they would alert us. Thanks Furlover for the tip.

Went to see a male Rotti for sale on Gumtree, not Muppet; staked out a park following the phone call I had early Friday morning and saw the Rotti referred to but not Muppet unfortunately.

Muppet has been 'bumped up' because of the brilliant article in this weekend's Southwark News. Frank has very kindly posted the link below. Baggy Dog, great to see you posting and glad to 'have you on board' in the search for Muppet! You've made a very good point about actually posting or hand delivering posters to all vets. You are quite right in what you are say about them possibly being put aside. Whenever I take a poster down to our vets, I normally try to negotiate the best possible position to place the poster and why not!!! I do hope that info emanating as a result of this latest article leads to the phone call you've been waiting for. Everything crossed this end for Muppet's safe return.

Morning lovelies, Thanx for keeping the rotties coming, even though they haven't been "the one" yet. You never know hey? We've had a very interesting phone call this morning from a concerned lady who lives very near where Muppet was stolen.  I'm desperately trying to get a friend to check this out, but I'm just trying to make backup plans. Thanx everybody.   POST AMENDED BY ADMIN due to information which could alert any possible thieves.

Hi Frank & Monica, I've been following Muppet's story and sad to see he's not home yet.  A thought occurred to me reading that you're emailing the vets again - have you posted colour posters to all the vets in the area?  When I've seen doglost posters which have been faxed to vets and put on the notice board they're not as 'in yer face' as the colour ones, and sometimes get lost amongst all the other notices on the board.  Good luck - it must be hard for you both doing this from a distance.

You may already be aware but apparently there is a rave at the O2 arena next Friday (6th Feb)......not that far away from where Muppet was stolen from I believe so may be worth some posters down there incase any of the same people in the area go. A friend at work happened to mention it as she was speaking to someone and he is the one organising it......I have asked her to see if she can find his details incase he can help/allow posters up. It may be difficult for her to get his name/number but she will try. Not the best place to appeal for info at a rave I know lol, but if we can get posters there, certainly nothing to loose and it only takes the one right person to see a poster to make it all happen.

Hi Monica & Frank, I'm so sorry that there hasn't been any news on your lovely boy but hopefully the article in this week's Southwark News will bring about some possible sightings or new info. I know it doesn't seem like it, but it really is still early days, please believe me when I say that. I'm certain that it won't be long until someone slips up or Muppet decides to make a break for freedom. I still tend to believe he's in the same area. I presume Millwall FC are playing at home again this week. I wonder whether the've had their scoreboard problem fixed...! Did you notice Kay's suggestion about contacting the owners of the GSD X who was stolen in Surrey Quays and who ended up in Battersea? Keep up the good work - I'm sure Muppet will repay you a thousand fold when he returns!

Dear All We've not been adding any posts because unfortunately there has still been no word at all about Muppet. Photographs and posters have been sent to our investigating officer at the police and he has promised to look into CCTV footage. He hasn't been in touch as of yet. I believe the story about Muppet will be in Southwark News tomorrow as will the new classified advert (which is now twice the size with colour). I've been in contact with Battersea regularly but they have not had any new male Rotties in the last two weeks. Frank and I intend to keep the dream alive. We will be re-registering him with the RSPCA next week and twice a month we will be re-emailing the vets, putting posts on all the dance forums and local community forums,etc. Basically we'll try to repeat the process all over again. All we can do now is keep the faith and trust in the system. Please god, please bring my baby back to me.

Hello Frank and Monica, If the police collect strays in lewisham they either call us or our contractors and the dog would go to Battersea not sure what they do in other boroughs though. It would be worth you speaking to Caidies mum a German Shepherd X now in the reunited section, her dog was stolen from Surrey Quays which is jsut up the road from where Muppet went missing. Her dog was handed in to Battersea but they may have info on the circumstances in which she was found or handed in. Any questions give me a call on my mobile, if I don't answer leave a message, Kay

Hello Monica - I don't know who the finder is of this dog but just call the contact number which appears in Yasa's post and hopefully they (may be an individual, a rescue kennel or DW) can give you further details. If they are unable to send a photo of the found Rottie, ask them to look at Muppet's page. As you say, it's always best to leave no stone unturned.

Hello Millys Mum. Is there any chance of a photo of the young Rotti that was found in Linc? I realize he sounds too young, has no chip and was found at the wrong time but just to definately cancel the chance it might be Muppet. Frank and I will be on the road back to Swansea today but I'll be back online tomorrow.

Hi Frank & Monica The found Rottie I mentioned (although unlikely it's Muppet because of age and when he was found - says around Christmas time) is in the DL Found pages ref number 16736. It's just that 2 of our observant Helpers spotted it and have both left comments cos there are so many of us on here willing Muppet home! It's good to hear that you now have an appointed Case Officer and that they are being helpful. Have they also given you an incident number (apparently it's different to a crime reference number)? It's also good to hear that you have good friends available in London who know Muppet well and who are able to identify/collect Muppet when he comes to light (hopefully not long now). You know in an emergency, if your friends are not contactable, you can call me, as I mostly around albeit a few miles away from Bermondsey/Millwall but it would only take around 30 mins via car. When is his story going into the Southwark News?

Hi all. I've finally spoken to my case officer and he seams genuinely concerned. There is obviously a limited amount that he can do, but he is going to look into CCTV footage, as well as circulate photographs of Muppet to beat bobbies in the two affected boroughs, as well as pass the report on to all Safer Neighbourhood teams. Plus it turns out the police DO still deal with stray dogs despite themselves and Battersea telling me they don't, so he will look into that, plus make sure that if they do find Muppet he'll come straight back to me. We've had text from Milly's Mum saying something about somebody on here having seen a young rotti. Does anybody have some info about this? We're in London today, but have to drive back to Wales this afternoon/tonight. We do have friends living in London able to identify Muppet whilst we're gone.

Frank, thanks for the update. I hope you get appointed a nice, dog loving case officer tonight when you visit Deptford police station. It's also really good news about the Southwark News featuring his story. Was it them who covered the story when he first 'went missing'? When will it appear? Is it possible for you (or Monica) to post the link on here so that others can view it?

Good postering session around Millwall Park yesterday. Met a Millwall Rugby club member who is gonna spread the word through the rugby players. He owns two staffies and has been very concerned about them getting stolen after all the stuff in the news lately. Also I got a call from Southwark News coz they saw our poster, and they are now running a story with pics and all, and the other Southwark newspaper (can't remember name) is gonna run our add for free for another three weeks. And twice the size! The lead I got about the two hippies turned out to be a red hearing. I'm going to Deptford police station tonight to see my case officer as he goes on duty at 9pm. Sadly - after that - it's the end of my stay in London for at least two weeks. Thanx everybody.

Thanks for the information about writing to the police. I'm doing that today. I managed to get a number for the RSPCA for London South East. Unfortunately I got nowhere because the gentleman who answered was incredably rude and started lecturing me because Muppet is not neutered, making statements like "I'm not surprised he was stolen. You have yourself to blame because they will use him for breeding." I find it completely astounding that an organization that is supposed to stand for animal welfare makes it so difficult to get for people to find their pets. He cut me off with no further information because I told him I didn't need to hear the advise he was preaching. I did manage to speak to a lovely lady on the enquiries number who assured me that we would be called if they get a dog matching Muppet's details. She also told me to make sure we re-register Muppet after 30 days. The dog warden for Southwark did call me back yesterday but unfortunaltey I was in a meeting and missed the call. I couldn't return his call as his number was barred. No further word. I'll ring the switchboard number I have again. Just wanted to say thank you for all the links. I've emailed them all and have had some kind word or encouragement in reply.

Thank you Jo for the information about the Southwark dog warden. I had an automated reply to my email that he is on annual leave until 6th February. I have faxed poster of Muppet to the fax number you gave and spoke to a receptionist. She took my details and Muppet's and promised someone would call me back. I've emailed pictures and posters to James anyway. Unfortunately I don't think the Rotti at Springfield is Muppet. The picture they have of him on their website is not a good one. Frank and my first gut instint is that it's not Muppet. Comparing photo's there are too many dis-similarities. I've asked furlover if she would mind going to look with pictures of Muppet - although I'm really uncomfortable asking this and totally accept if declined. The Rotti there is not neutered either but it just doesn't look like my baby. Thank you to all who have shown an interest.

Thanks one and all for checking out all the rescues and details of found Rotties. So many of you are just brilliant at trawling the various websites, found ads and rescues - thank you, thank you, thank you! Glynafon, the found Rottie you mention can't be Muppet (unless, of course, their facts are incorrect which, as we know, can happen from time to time). 'Our' missing Rottie boy, Muppet was stolen in the early hours of New Year's Day. He is an entire male, is chipped and was wearing a grey collar when he was stolen from the New Year's party. I know that both Frank and Monica are extremely grateful for everyone's help and input.

Good Morning. Thank you to Barney and Furlover for the information. Unfortunately "Bill" in Kent is not Muppet. Muppet is quite small by Rotti standards and he doesn't have that typical cross Rotti look. I have emailed additional pictures and information to Furlover and have tried to call Springfield this morning but I think it's too early. I'll post again once I've spoken to them.

Hello - I'm Monica, Muppet's Mom. Thank you for your offer of help Jennie - please poster where-ever you can. Frank is spending all of next week in London again, on foot with some friends, to poster and flyer some more. I have written to The Chief Superintendant for Brixton (where we reported Muppet stolen) as well as for Lewisham expressing regret and dismay that they didn't even have the decency to assign an investigating officer. I have requested they re-open the case and have the courtesy to reply to me request. Frank and I are feeling very despondant and sad and are really struggling to get on with life. For me the worst thing is that we haven't had a single call about Muppet despite all the effort we have put in. I have emailed the Rottweiler Rescue Trust and the Rottweiler Welfare association today. I have posted flyers and posters to 15 Royal Mail Delivery/sorting offices, about 20 refuse collection companies and joined a number of internet forums like LondonSE1 community forum and Gumtree. Muppet even has his own FaceBook account with over 500 frineds. Due to the nature of Frank's business, we've flyered a number of dance parties asking party-goers to help find him. Regarding Millwall, I spoke to Neil in their press office last week who agreed to place an advert in their program and internet webpages. I'm hoping and praying that he will still do this but to date he has not replied to my emails nor returned my phonecalls. I can confirm that Soutwark News is running a classified advert for Muppet for three weeks and it should still be going. I intend to phone Battersea every week to see if new Rotti's have arrived. Thank you all for your concern.

Great pity about the Millwall Score Board.....Frank, perhaps you should send a cc copy of your letter (to the Superidentant) to the police station you were originally dealing with. Human nature being nobody likes "their boss to see they might not being giving value for money"...might kick start some action!

Jennie, thank you so much for your offer of help - I know Muppet's worried 'Mum & Dad' would really appreciate your offer to poster the parts of the East End you pass through. More bad news... I've just had a call from samsonsmum to say that Muppet's details weren't displayed on the scoreboard, nor did a missing ad appear in the programme. The Club said that they had a technical problem - not sure about that as it seemed they were still able to display the score! Such a disappointment and a missed opportunity and I know that Muppet's family will be very upset to hear this. Shame on them. If they weren't prepared to show Muppet's details, why didn't they have the courtesy to say so - it would have been better than letting people down as I really thought we had it sewn up (but thanks anyway samsonsmum's hubby for trying). Muppet's mum told me last night that they had written to the Chief Superintendant complaining about their treatment. She said that they won't even send them a letter, confirming the theft and quoting the crime reference number and said that the case is closed (or something to that effect). The policeman they spoke to just said that the dog should have been on a lead (I wasn't aware that it was against the law to have a dog off a lead ... what a load of cobblers!). Apart from Muppet's story being featured in the South London Press and missing ads appearing in the Southwark News and London Metro magazine, they've also placed a missing ad in the Evening Standard. They've put up loads of posters and handed out 400 mini-flyers but despite this coverage, they've not had a single call! They've also targetted many refuse collection companies and Richmond parks. Does anyone local have any more ideas? As I've said, although Frank's work brings him into London, they live in South Wales and so if anyone has any local knowledge, please shout! Muppet's mum doesn't have access to a computer today but will once she get's into work tomorrow and so will look at Muppet's page and update us, although sadly it seems, there doesn't seem to be any updates on the horizon. I have also suggested that she contacts the London-based rep for Rottweiler Welfare and the Rottweiler Rescue Trust. Now,just where could that great big handsome Rottie be? Come on Muppet, make your escape and show your gorgeous face.

Just heard from Muppet's disappointed 'mum' to say that Frank had visited Battersea this morning and sadly the Rottie they had there wasn't Muppet. I believe this male Rottie was found tied to a lamppost somewhere in East or SE London - poor boy. PLEASE, if anyone has any idea or can help (Muppet's owners live in Wales and because of that and work they can only get back to London mid week) please post a message on Muppet's page. But here's hoping that Millwall FC will come up trumps this afternoon.

Muppet has been 'bumped up' because of confirmation that a missing ad will be appearing in tomorrow's football programme when Millwall FC will be playing at home. A very grateful owner of Samson, a reunited Staffie has also spoken to a good contact at the football Club (thank you Samsonsmum's hubby!) and Muppet's details will be shown electronically on the score board throughout tomorrow's match! I have spoken to Muppet's heartbroken 'mum' tonight who is, understandably, beside herself with worry. She and Frank (Muppet's 'dad') have been working like maniacs to make sure that just about EVERYONE knows that Muppet is still missing. The SE London press ran an article about him on 9th Jan and he has also appeared in the Southwark News and the London Metro magazine. They have tramped the streets of East London and have visited all parks, written to a dozen Royal Mail sorting offices, contacted many local Councils and displayed or handed out hundreds of posters. However, there is a glimmer of hope as Muppet's owners have received a call from Battersea to say that a Rottie had come to them via a DW. The dog has a different collar to the one Muppet was wearing when he went missing and they are unable to locate a chip. Owners explained that Muppet had surgery in the area of his neck last year and so a chip may have been disturbed... they are so hoping that this is him as he sounds very similar from the description and this dog was picked up just 6 miles from where he went missing. They will visit Battersea tomorrow morning, just as soon as it opens. I am hoping and praying this is Muppet as the owners have worked so hard that they deserve and need him back home. Please, please let this be Muppet - fingers crossed this end.

Frank, thanks for the update - how frustrating for you re the police response. Tell me, did Millwall FC agree to Muppet details appearing on the scoreboard following a visit from Samsonsmum's hubby, as it was him who suggested the idea when I called them the other evening? Hope he was able to help you and Muppet, as I know how grateful they were for DogLost's support and help when their gorgeous Samson went missing (now reunited, of course!). As you know, I spoke with Samsonsmum a couple of evenings ago and her hubby was going to Millwall yesterday or today and said he would have a word with his contacts there. I would imagine that the electronic message will appear on the scoreboard this Saturday. I believe they are playing Tranmere Rovers and the kick-off is at 3pm (Samsonsmum, if you are reading this, please correct me if I'm wrong!). Frank, will it be possible for you and/or your friends to go there before kick-off to hand out mini-flyers to the supporters on their way in to the match - surely, too good an opportunity to miss? That would make Muppet really high profile - advert in the programme, an electronic message and hundreds of supporters targetted... Let's hope it's brings Muppet home. Fingers crossed!

Good news first: Millwall football club is going to stick an advert in their program as well as on the scoreboard. We're not sure wether it will be this match or next. Bad news: I have just got of the phone with officer Marsh at the Lewisham Police station, who imformed me that my case has been filed under "no further investigation" because they don't know who the suspect is, which is laughable. As if criminals walk around with signs on their head giving their names and addresses away! He also said that if the dog was on a leash it would never have happened. From which it follows that children abducted in playgrounds when not leashed to their parents does not constitute a crime. We will now write to the chief superintendant to complain, but I'm guessing I know the awnser. This combined with the fact that Southwark Council flatly refuses to put me in touch with their dog wardens, or anybody else for that matter, is making me very angry. They are so quick to colect your taxes, or have a go at you if you step one inch out of line, but when you need their help you get treated like a fly in the ointment! I've tried to contact the reporter from ITV London tonight, but I've had no success yet. Anyway.................onwards and upwards.

Sorry for being "missing" for a few days. I've been on foot hunting with my eyes plus postering. I have a hunch that the dog might be in the Hackney area. Might be a red herring but you never know. Gonna go poster like mad in the area tomorrow. I have to get some rest coz I'm loosing it a bit. Nearly ten days of 8am till 12pm dog hunting. Have tried the newspapers, but no real joy there. Also Chris Evans show on BBC radio2 is doing a dog special this week, so tried him coz Muppet is a unique dog with a unique job that went missing under interesting circumstances, but nor real joy there either. Thanx for all the advice. Will get on the case with all the new bits.

Hi - Pethunters here, we have also joined the hunt. Millwall are playing a home game tonight - perhaps any friends of Muppets owners or local DL helpers could hand out posters to supporters entering the ground. We have requested the football club play a message over their tanoy but not heard any feedback if this is going to be possible.

Hi Kay! Nice to hear from you. A good idea about contacting the local Safer Neighbourhood Police Team, as they often have more time for this type of thing. I mentioned your name to Frank the other day, when we spoke as I knew that you would help, if you could and said that you might have some DW contacts in the neighbouring borough and other ideas. And, after speaking to you when Tim went missing in your area, I of course 'sang your praises' and told him how dedicated and caring you both were! Once again thanks for your help with Muppet and for helping all the other strays and lost souls in Lewisham. A Happy New Year to you and George!

Hi This is Kay one of the Animal Welfare Officers for Lewisham, I have spoken to Frank and got the details of Muppet on file but we haven't come across and stray Rotties ( he was stolen from the neighbouring borough). Just as a thought it would be worth contacting the police Safer Neighbourhood Team for the area and giving them some posters, aslo try contacting the local press, seeing as dogs are a hot issue in London at the moment they might be willing to cover the theft of muppet. There are also several large estates in the area where muppet went missing so it might be worth postering in local housing offices as well. I hope he is returned quickly, Kay

Frank, it was good to talk to you yesterday and to hear how hard you and your friends are working to get Muppet back home. As we always say on DL, you need to make this boy the best known and hottest boy in town!. Did you speak to Kay today, one of Lewisham's dog wardens? Also, did you contact Foxgrove Road Veterinary Centre (020 8650 2003) as they are a very large practice and provide 7 day, 24 hour emergency cover for a number of vets in the area, including parts of SE London. I know that you said that Petlog had contacted a number of vets but it's best to double check, just in case they've been missed. It is very good news that Muppet is chipped. Don't forget to visit all local pubs and mini cab offices as the pub regulars will have plenty of local knowledge and will be a mine of information and the cab drivers will be out and about throughout the night and early hours of the morning. Try to visit the pubs at lunchtime or early evening when they tend to be less busy and ask the manager to display posters of Muppet, both inside the pub and on windows facing the pavement. Also, hand out your mini-posters to just about anyone. That way, when someone hears of someone who has acquired a 'new' handsome male Rottie, they will have your contact details to hand, rather than having to return to one of Muppet's missing posters. Fingers crossed 'this end' for Muppet's swift and safe return.

Good to see he is chipped. If you can get as many posters out- even email them to freinds and family asking them to send on etc it helps to get the message out he is stoeln. Pleased you have a crime ref number. i have emailed some other information to you.

Wow Jan. Thanx for all this help! I have contacted Battersea folk and reported him lost. I'll visit them tomorrow. I have contacted Southwark and Lewisham councils and have been told the DW's will get in touch. I will phone them again tomorrow. The chip company has emailed all the vets in a 30 mile radius of SE16 I believe. We are postering like fiends. Breakfast cafes, park wardens etc, shops etc etc etc. Anyway..........thanx again! Frank

Frank, sorry to see Muppet is missing.  Thanks for registering and adding his details on DL, we will do all we can to help you in your search.   Great you have uploaded a photo of him.  You need to poster poster poster the area as much as possible and make him TOO HOT TO HANDLE, we cannot stress enough the importance of postering.  Posters can be printed by selecting Dog Poster 1 just above Dog Information (you must be logged in). If he has been stolen you must get a CRIME NUMBER from the Police. Contact DW's, rescues, vets and leave a poster (you can find vets in the area by clicking on the logo right hand side just underneath Latest Missing photo).  Dogs can be rehomed after 7 days, try and visit rescues do not rely on phone calls alone.  Great he has been CHIPPED, make sure you contact the Chip Co and report him Stolen and that your details are up to date.  Please update us on who has been contacted i.e. DW's etc and if you have started postering.  You can leave a comment by selecting  Add a comment  just above Comments.  Good luck and hope they are found soon.  Jan x
