What a wonderful story. Welcome home Ellie after all this time. It shows that there are some truly wonderful people out there (and some real sh....s too). And it is all possible through this fantastic website. I hope to be able to help more in the near future as I will have more time available.

Wonderful news. So pleased Ellie made it back home to her mum. Well done to all involved especially the rescue centre that scanned her and to all the lovely people who helped to transport her back home from Fife to Bere Regis.

Photos to follow. :-)
DogLostPoochpal - Regional Co-ordinator - South West - Police Liaison Team
Worthy of a bump. Jared's mum took Ellie to Peterborough yesterday, I have not been able to speak to her directly but jayniem (Scottish Rescue Tails) who organised the transport reports that Ellie has been a very good girl and further transport is now taking her home. We will update later with reunited photos. Both have refused donations so far but we will not let them leave empty handed.
DogLostSherlock- Area Co-ordinator & Police Liaison - Avon & South Gloucestersh
Was just about to tweet update for Ellie x....fantastic....let us all know how to donate xx
DogLostPoochpal - Regional Co-ordinator - South West - Police Liaison Team
Hopefully the journey is underway, I have spoken to jayniem again today regarding donations towards fuel costs but was not able to talk her into giving me details. I will try again tomorrow if I am lucky enough to meet at the reunion. Fingers crossed that Ellie will at last be back where she belongs this time tomorrow.
Happiness yorkie lover xxx
Is this girl on her way home yet xxxxx
DogLostGnasher - Area Co-ordinator, East Dorset
More than happy to contribute too x
DogLostPoochpal - Regional Co-ordinator - South West - Police Liaison Team
Good question allimac, I am calling those concerned today to ask the same question . I will post any details on here later.
allimac
This is making me cry - mostly happily. I do hope you get a happy reunion - long time for a dog. If only she could tell us what adventures she has been up to. I hope nothing too bad. xxx
p.s. is there a need for donations for fuel costs?
DogLostPoochpal - Regional Co-ordinator - South West - Police Liaison Team
WELL DONE jayniem. :-)

Run is now covered all the way from Fife to Dorset with only 3 drivers :)
DogLostPoochpal - Regional Co-ordinator - South West - Police Liaison Team
Thank you jayniem, it is lovely to know there are people about who all pull together at times like this. X
jaineym
We have Fife to Peterborough covered and Reading to Home Address covered, just trying for the Peterborough to Reading stretch, have posted on Wags & Bones on FB, Im sure we will get a response :)

That's great news Poochpal ! Hope you've asked for that amazing reunited photo ! 😃
DogLostPoochpal - Regional Co-ordinator - South West - Police Liaison Team
Arrangements are being made for Ellie's return, it may take a few days before the happy reunion so staying in the red for now although no longer lost. Number updated.
DogLostGnasher - Area Co-ordinator, East Dorset
WoW! This is wonderful news . I hope Ellie can be reunited with her owner soon after all these years 😃
Happiness yorkie lover xxx
Fantastic hope the owners welcome her back after waiting so long xxx the power of microchip wins again xxxxx
allimac
oh my dog! It would be so amazing if this is her. I suppose it is pretty freaky getting your dog back after so long, but it must nonetheless be soooo good to know she is still there and ok (sort of anyway). Hoping to see a happy ending.
DogLostPoochpal - Regional Co-ordinator - South West - Police Liaison Team
I have just visited the address on the chip, resident kindly called the previous occupied who is related to Ellie's owner and now has the contact number for the kennels where Ellie is being looked after.
DogLostPoochpal - Regional Co-ordinator - South West - Police Liaison Team
Chip details confirm that the girlie in Fife is Ellie. Unfortunately the contact numbers are out of date but we will do all we can yo trace the owner. If anyone reading this please can you ask her to call admin on 08448003220.
Ellie has been well looked after, she is in good condition and just wants to be cuddled all the time.
DogLostPoochpal - Regional Co-ordinator - South West - Police Liaison Team
It would be amazing if it is, has her chip shown up? I have left a message on the answer machine and sent an email for more details.
Jareds mum
Hi we are in Fife and this dog has turned up I think in my kennels. I think.
DogLostPoochpal - Regional Co-ordinator - South West - Police Liaison Team
Sorry but not Ellie. Kennels sent photo to phone, forwarded to Ellie's owner as she has no internet access. She has just replied to say not Ellie but has had possible sighting of her in the Poole area so is going to start postering again. She has reported it to the police but they cannot do anything without evidence.Last edited: 2010-05-11 02:17:18

It doesn't look as if the white patches on the Rochdale dog match Ellie. Still waiting for definite confirmation either way.

Merymut, well done for being so observant. Last night my friend on the RDR team rang me to tell me about the dog which the police brought in, and I told the DL team - and we saw you had just picked up a possible match. Photos are being sent and details exchanged so I expect we will know fairly soon whether or not this is the same dog.

The dog with RDR is still in the pound and won't come into our care until her pts date, 10th March, we will then transport her to kennels and safety so she will not be pts.   We will try and get the pound to check to see if she has a scar, if not, the wonderful girls at our holding kennels will check.Last edited: 2010-05-11 02:17:18

I have spoken to owner. Dog wardrens and police informed. Ellie was tied up outside a village shop for awhile Saturday evening between 6.30 & 7.00. The lead was still there but Ellie had gone. She is a very friendly dog.Last edited: 2010-05-11 02:17:18
