Posters delivered to Suzy at Dawlish Warren earlier this week. We were told that sound travels better at night and dogs may be more receceptive then, so last night Helen & I returned to SW coast path where Kini went missing. Sadly no result, but we did see the distant fireworks from Torquay.
Two phone calls from people who had seen the posters and were trying to help to find Kini: much appreciated. We're still hoping...

We are very grateful to Ness Cafe who have agreed to hold posters for us. If anyone is visiting and able to help display posters they can be collected from there. please

Still no sightings but the local community still helping with posters. Arrangements are being made to have a collection point now more posters have been printed.

Thankyou James , I have no more posters left ,but I do live near the area , as you know , and will continue to walk it each day with hope .

2023-06-09 20:39 James

Phew! Thank goodness. Thank you for explaining....

James, when we comment "Bumped" it means your dog gets bought to top of listings because something needs highlighting. In this case its because you had media coverage which is fantastic to raise awareness And we want people to know you have. Bumping on our site gets you noticed across uk again...getting media coverage is Encouraged by doglost Being "BUMPED" On here is a good thing xx

James, 'bump' just means someone commenting on a post so it's brought higher up a board or users' feed so its drawn to more people's attention again. (Supposedly it stands for 'bring up my post').
(I'm not in this area so I can't help with this search unfortunately but I really really hope Kini is found safe)

2023-06-09 18:51 James

Sorry, don't understand this. 'Bumped due to media coverage' does this mean you will no longer search for Kini? You've been wonderful getting the word around and putting out posters: isn't media coverage just another way of publicising the missing dog and trying to make people aware so they look out for him? Is media coverage forbidden by Dog Lost? If this is the case why didn't you tell us your rules in advance? We've really valued your efforts.

Hope it helps.

Bumped due to media coverage x

Local Paper (MDA) published an article about Kini yesterday (p10) - hope it will help. James and I revisited Labrador Bay where he went missing (no sign of the dog), Smugglers car park and golf club house, went on to Maidencombe, Stokeinteignhead, Combeinteignhead, Bishopsteignton and Haccombe leaving posters where we could. Thank you for the posters, and thank you Lin for oftenbeating us to it putting them up! Someone notified us in the evening that a Facebook report had said a dog in Teignmouth had been barking and howling for the last two days, so we went over there, walked up and down the road calling 'Kini!'and talked to residents.Not Kini...
We're still searching and hoping.

Thank you Lin 🧡

2023-06-06 16:46 Lin

Just walks 3 miles around the area which is where I live , posters put in prominent places .

2023-06-06 15:03 DogLostReynard

Poster! Poster! Poster!
I would suggest to Get Kini noticed is to plaster the area with Posters and perhaps Banners many peeps are not on social media especially if on holiday and may not be aware this Beautiful dog is a missing Dog if sighted 🙏

Good luck Kini I hope you make it home 🏡

Thank you to all involved in today's search, dangerous and difficult terrain but they all did an amazing job.
Due to the lack of any sign of Kini in the immediate lost area it is possible that he has moved further afield. The wider area needs posters if anyone is able to display any.

Sadly the search today was futile - post on Devon Cave Rescue Facebook page

Sean and family met me today at the Labrador Bay car park with his drone, which surveyed the area including the coastal strip . Linda who has been so helpful was there and we also met Matt again who had been checking out the area with a family of 3 dogs. The drone footage is been analysed by Sean.

Thank you very much to everyone who is helping: really appreciated. No, we haven't found him yet, but we're still trying... and hoping. Walked the coastline at low tide yesterday - no sign of Kini. Abseiled down the cliffs today (thanks, Matt, you were brilliant!) and explored the seemingly impenetrable thickets where Kini disappeared, but again no sign of him. Thank you for putting Kini on social media and especial thanks to Lin for the posters. We've put up some of our own posters today, and the local paper says it will put in a story about Kini, but sadly, it doesn't come out until Thursday.Thank you all: we'll post the minute we hear anything.
Helen and James

Sorry to see that KINI is missing.

• If your dog is microchipped please let the microchip company know that your dog is missing and check that all details are up to date.
• Owners targeted by a malicious hoaxer demanding money for the return of their dog should phone the police on 101 immediately and contact admin@doglost.co.uk
• A photograph of your dog is essential for the website. If you have not already uploaded one, please do so by clicking on Update details. Alternatively you can email it to admin@doglost.co.uk quoting the dog's DogLost ID number: (184710)
