Hi Caroline a black labrodor was found in Bletchingly. I know it is a long shot but this dog had been starved and beaten and the RSPCA as trying to find its owners. If you want anymore details please pm me and I will try and email them to you, with contact details. I am pretty sure it is a young lab, but might be worth looking into further. Let me know.

Hi Georges owner, have a look at Targas site, just reunited, bit there is an e.mail on the site on 1st March, I think, referring to a sighting by Whippet of a similar dog in Oxford, with a scar, could this possibly be George? Worth a look, so sorry you are still not reunited, good luck, LindaT helper

Hi Caroline, my daughter lives in France and recently her dog Saffie went missing for three weeks. In that time she launched a one woman campaign to find Saffie and gained a lot of knowledge along the way despite only speaking basic French. Also there is a very good English speaking site - Christine aubertine@wanadoo.fr. Also I have recently read a book by Carol Drinkwater (t.v. star of All Creatures Great & Small) she lives in the south of France is very anti hunting especially boar hunting which seems to be a national sport. If you want to contact me my Mob. is 07749508975. Good Luck

Am trying to email various authorities in France at the mo in case he was shipped abroad as originally suspected - if anyone is going over to France for a hol, please contact me for a poster. Take care everyone, imay not be on site that much, but i'm still thinking of you all and your lost dogs, Caroline xxx

GEORGES NEW POSTER. If anyone would like Caroline's new poster of George (more colourful and striking when displayed) please e-mail me and I will reply with it as an attachment. It is the poster I sent to schools in Hamps., Berks., and Reading. I will also forward the covering e-mail I sent to schools with the poster. This will make it easier for you if you are thinking of doing the schools in your area (see my two postings yesterday). Many thanks in advance if you are thinking of doing this.

SCHOOLS LIST SITE (ACCESS): People have had problems when trying to get lists of schools. Do this: (1) Go to link and ignore "Unfortunately the page you requested could not be found" (2) On left, click on "Schools Guide" (3) Top right, register with your e-mail address and a password (4) Go to required area of map or adjoining list of areas This should give you all the schools in your selected area with those schools with an e-mail adress show in bold type

Hi all (George's grandad here), I have had a lot of good responses from schools who have agreed to print off and display Georges poster (some inside and outside their schools and even also in their local towns/villages). I have done the South East area covering Hampshire, Berkshire and Reading. If anyone would be willing to cover their own area with a covering e-mail and Georges poster, you will find all you want on: http://www.schoolsnet.com/cgi-bin/inetcgi/schoolsnet/home/index-std.jsp You will have to register with your e-mail and password to get full access then you will be able to select your area from a map. On the list of schools you then get, the ones in bold type are the ones with e-mail adresses. School notice boards are read by many thousands of children of various ages - not to mention the staff.

Thank you ever so much for that message Caroline. I have just looked on there and since late last night when i sent the link out there has been 30 signatures added so far. 30 a day is excellent! I still haven't had a reply to my letter that i sent to the R.S.P.C.A about Stow Fair. I will be very disapointed if they do not reply. I think a reminder letter is in order! I really hope that you have some real good luck very soon and that good ole' George will be back home... (to teach that Megan a few tricks or two) Take care. X X

Thanks all, by the way, for those that are wondering, the petition Jockette mentions below is to stop the government from funding the disgusting puppy farms in Wales. No problem at all in mentioning it on my page, the more people that sign it the better. Megan (rescued from a puppy farm herself) is ok now, will be all the better if I can convince her that horse poo is not an appropriate healthy snack! Caroline x

Hi Caroline. Thanks for signing that petition. I have noticed that there are another 6 signatures added. I would also like to take this oppotunity to ask everyone to sign this petition and then forward the web address to everyone in their address book and so on. Here is the link... http://www.ethical-business.com/default.asp?sect=detail&pet=619#sigs Sorry Caroline for using this page and i realize that this has no connection with George but i am very, very grateful for the co-operation in this.

Hi All, we still need more people for the vet mag advert to go ahead - at least one more. The add will cost ?75 per dog if we display 6, ?57 each if we display 8, a lot of cash I know, but this magazine is distributed to EVERY veterinary nurse in the country, so the coverage is enormous. Anyone who'd like to take a place, please PM me.

Hi Caroline, I posted to all infant and junior schools in my ypages and thomson local (state and private) with a letter attached outlining my love for Dolly and would it be possible for them to display. I know that some definately displayed but when you send mass mailings it is with hope that they will display. Good luck.

I do hope George is ok. I look at my own lab everyday and know just how i would feel if he were stolen and I knew nothing of his whereabouts. Hurry home if you're able George. Any news of the yellow lab found in Reading? He's a gorgeous looking chap, I can't believe that he hasn't been claimed. I help with a Labrador rescue charity, so if he needs a new home or a temporary one please call me.

I'ts ROYAL ASCOT in a couple of weeks - event having been moved north to York. Races attract a lot of TRAVELLERS and we expect more around here at that time. Also with the event being further north than usual there will probably be more people coming down from the North East as its going to be nearer. (I live near York and I'm dreading it!!!). If this information can be of help to anyone please pass on or PM me - Val

I placed this on Lilly's page as well. Just to add that i watched Meridian news tonight and they were saying that this bank holiday weekend is the weekend that hell of a lot of Irish travellers come over to England........ Why?? I must have missed that bit. I'm intrigued! South East is the worst hit. Christchurch, Bornemouth, Poole, Dorset. They should be stopped at the borders!!!!

Hi Justine. George's chain-mail appeal. If you would highlight my appeal (15:58-21/5/05) and copy and paste it into your e-mail form (just the appeal text from "TO ALL DOG....." to ".....in anticipation", then, having copied it, and at the end of the message, click your cursor between ".....html" and "I thank you....." then press enter - this will make the hyperlink to George's poster page work. If you are referring to my posting of (19:45- 21/5/05) then it is just a case of e-mailing your M.P. stressing just how important it is for him to put his name to Early Day Motion 775 titled "Dog Theft" that he will be presented with. This is also addressed to everyong else to help the general cause.

As you may know, Early Day Motion 775 is to be presented to Parliament, (see posting dated 18/5/05). For those who are not sure what this is - here's an explanation which also shows just how important it is to 'bombard' your M.P. is if it is to have any influence: Early day motion (EDM) is a colloquial term for a notice of motion given by a Member for which no date has been fixed for debate. EDMs exist to allow Members to put on record their opinion on a subject and canvass support for it from fellow Members. In effect, the primary function of an EDM is to form a kind of petition that MPs can sign. The tabling of an EDM is a device to draw attention to an issue and to elicit support for it by inviting other MPs to add their signatures: an MP would not expect their EDM to be debated. MPs can also table amendments to existing EDMs. EDMs, amendments and names of signatories are circulated in the Vote Bundle, the daily working papers of the House of Commons. EDMs can often attract a great deal of publicity, and many people regard them as a gauge of opinion. Although the majority of EDMs are never considered for debate, the group of EDMs known as 'prayers' may be debated. Prayers are motions to annul or revoke Statutory Instruments, and include the form of words 'that an Humble Address be presented to Her Majesty, praying that the [title of legislation], a copy of which was laid before this House on [date], be annulled.'

Hello again - George's Grandad here. May I ask as many of you as possible to copy my "chain-mail" e-mail appeal and send it out to everyone in your address book and anyone else you can think of. This would be a great help in getting it "snowballing" among the general public. Thank you very much. Here it is: TO ALL DOG LOVERS I have tried everything possible to locate my Black Labrador - Rescue Centres, Dog Wardens, Posters, Kennels, Dogs Lost and Found Web Sites. I have been in local newspapers and even on television - and I have offered a substantial reward. All to no avail yet. He could, by now, be anywhere in the Country. My last desperate attempt is to try to obtain help from any relevant source. When you have seen the enclosed poster, would you be so kind as to forward this to as many others as you can manage. If everyone helps in this way, the 'snowball' effect will get the sort of coverage that could get him back home. If possible, would you also be so kind as to print a copy of the poster and display it somewhere. Also, I would ask all recipients to ask themselves: Have I come into contact with a dog like this suffering from Epilepsy? Have I recently seen a large, abandoned, adult dog like this? Have I noticed someone who suddenly has such a dog? Has someone recently, innocently, purchased a similar dog? Do I know of a similar dog being offered for sale? PLEASE HELP. Please forward this on to as many others as possible. Your co-operation will go a long way to relieving my anguish and, hopefully, finding my dog. This e-mail is absolutely genuine and is not, in any way, a spoof or false. My contact number is on the poster. http://hometown.aol.co.uk/cmcmerritt/myhomepage/dog.html I thank you in anticipation.

Just thought you all might like to see an answer I have just received from one of my e-mailings to M.P.'s: Early Day Motion tabled by Andrew Rosindell M.P. Tuesday 17th May 2005 DOG THEFT AND THE WORK OF DOG THEFT ACTION That this House expresses concern at the increasing number of dog thefts reported in the media; is further concerned that there is evidence of an organised trade in stolen dogs; notes that dogs are very special to the lives of thousands of people in Britain; urges all dog owners to look after the security and protection of their pets at all times; recognises the tireless work of Dog Theft Action and Doglost UK; and urges the Government and local government, vets, the Police, welfare organisations and rescue centres to adapt their procedures in favour of a more effective service that results in more dogs being re-united with their rightful owners. All Members of Parliament are urged to sign the motion.

A formal complaint to the Police Complaints Authority would be in order although you would probably gain more mileage from contacting your local MP as extortion is illegal. A word of warning - NEVER meet anyone claiming to have your pet without a solid plan!. That would include a public meeting place, daylight, adequate backup (one friend is not enough however desperate you may be) and the ability to extricate oneself from the situation. Don't want to patronise but these people do not sell knitting patterns for a living. If you are contacted by someone who gives all the right answers and are confident they have your pet you should insist on having the plods present but hidden. If they are still not interested I can assist in provisioning requisite resources. I am more than impressed with the huge effort you and others are making and, having read your page in it's entirety, you deserve to be reunited. Good Luck.

Had yet more proof yesterday of just how useless Hampshire Police are. I had a call yesterday from a man claiming to have stolen George and demanding a ransom. I managed to stay calm (although I was shaking like a leaf!) and questioned him about how and where he took him from. It became fairly apparent that he didn't have George as all the information he quoted was what I had posted on his web page (i.e. George was taken from his home....etc) he said he'd stolen him from my garden and my house was a bungalow (wrong!). Anyways I called the police and spoke to them, I said this guy had either stolen George and was demanding a ransom, or else he was intending to rob me of the ransom money - either way intending to commit a crime. And what did they say - THEY TOLD ME I SHOULD ARRANGE TO MEET THE MAN - WITH A FRIEND, AND IF THERE WAS ANY SIGN OF TROUBLE TO PHONE 999!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ok there have been a series of stabbings in Reading lately, and judging on the police reaction times around here (about 3 hours!!!) I would be dead in a ditch by the time they got there! They offered no help whatsoever, and there was I thinking that the job of the police was to serve and protect!!!! Is it any wonder that the crime levels around here are so high? Still amazed that they actually advised me to put myself in a potentially very dangerous situation with no back up. Caroline xx

Hi Tracey, hours on the internet, following links etc. Dogpages has a good list of rescues as does www.animalrescuers.co.uk, and others that I've found following links off other sites. Wish they had a complete directory like MRCVS it'd make life easier - kennels are gonna be even worse! Caroline xx

Hi Tracey, thanks, if you could call them for me I'd be really grateful, or PM me with their number. I'm working on doing a mass email to all the rescue centres at the moment - I'm scared that he may be found in an area miles away and rehomed without my knowing (as he wasn't chipped), next will be boarding kennels, but thats an even longer list, and you don't know if they take in strays or not. At least it keeps me busy! Caroline xx

Hi all, just spoke to Meridian, apparently the area is split into 2, North and South, with different 'local' news. Georges item was shown in the North last night, and they're going to let me know when its being aired in the South. They're also going to contact Jayne and send her a tape so she can put a link to it on site. So me and George may still get to see our 5 minutes of fame! Caroline xx

Dear all, I know alot of you read this page as George is so missed but please check out Taz (English Springer) - 26.2.05 page 4, we have her back safe and sound (well almost). full story on Taz's page. Thankyou all for your kind words I do hope you find your dogs soon I have my fingers crossed for you all. As I have said on Taz's page I only now understand what PM means Im sorry if you think I have ignored you but i didn't know I could get personal messages!

I just hope that it will jog peoples memories and also people will be on their guard with their own dogs. You, everyone else and Doglost are doing a great job at trying to get these much loved dogs back to their rightful owners! The more television publicitly this gets the better.

Got the posters Caroline. So far ive got 3 up. 1 my hubby is a carpet fitter, his boss as put 1 in his shop window. A busy road which is at traffic lights. Alot of people stop right outside on a busy route in a very popular place in Doncaster. Another which is a very good place. My duaghters boyfriend works in a garrage that fits tyers. Just round the corner from them is maybe the biggest gysie site in the area. He said they come in to have their cars vans etc worked on almost everyday. 1 in a popular local shop, my daughter is taking some to her high school, hubby is taking 1 to Doncaster football ground with him tomorow. He sits in a booth letting in the fans. Hes desplaying it there. Tomoro they are playing Stockport so it will be seen by people from Stockport also. The rest will be desplayed ASAP. Good luck to you all. Sharonxx

Hi Jockette, a lot of these horse fairs are visited by rspca inspectors, you could make enquiries of them to see if they will be present as they carry scanners I think, the organisers may also have a vet on call or present at the event, you could ring them and ask, also ask local police if they will be there at all although I don't think police have scanners with them. I'm sure you would recognise Lilly. Candy

I bet that the scums that take the dogs look on here and follow our conversations and leads. I bet any money they do..... If they think we may be near to something good they are one step forward. I put this message on Lilly's page as well as i never know if people who follow this dog look on the other's as well.

Hi Caroline. I have sent PM to you about earlier on the phone. Looks like Jill and I will be going to the Stow Fair on May 12th. Should be interesting! The thing i have about going is if we do see one like Lilly, how would we go about it? Also, there are so many Border Terriers out there how would you know which one is yours? I receieved the Vet Directory this morning..... with no invoice. It's a 2004 but that's ok.

Hi Caroline, just picked up on this stuff about the Gypsy Fair. The one they're heading off to now is STOW FAIR. It takes place at Stow-on-the-Wold and is held every year on the nearest Thursday to 12 May and the nearest Thursday to 24 October. The May Fair is the big one! Around this time last year, when I got a 'tip-off' (it turned out to be the Travellers having a laugh at my expense) that Ralph was being held on a site on the Hants/Berks border, my friend and I went on the site and most of the men were away - they were going up to Stow Fair. This year, 12 May is a Thursday so that's the day to go! Hope this helps, take care. M

It's not such a bad idea getting the bad guys on your side. Afterall some of them are animal lovers. My sister lives next door to a teenage lad who hangs around with gypsies. Hes always in trouble with the law. Last year my sisters tortoise went missing. Wed had him as children hes well over 30 years old now. Hes always lived in the same enviorment a very secure garden. Anyway many of the neighbours had seen this lad go in the garden and come out with a box with gypsies waiting out on the street for him. Being infront of everyone and in daytime nobody thought anything of it untill the tortoise was missing. In the same village was a bloke who's a little bit on the nuaghty side and soon got word out. In just a few hours of him knowing he took my brother-in-law to a house in the next village were they found the tortoise, hed been kept in a little carpbourd box for 3 days. They did have to pay ?30 to get him back as the man said thats what hed payed. The tortoise was very distressed by for a long time after, hes fine now. The police even though they were aware of certain people surounding this who had done similar things in the past did nothing. May I had there were a variety pets in the house they got the tortoise from that my brother-in-law said he thought could have been stolen.

Jockette, I have had the same reply from vets about scanning new dogs! if they are willing to microchip our pups for a fee then they should carry the system through and scan every new pup/dog that comes in as a matter of course. I would not take offence if my vet scanned my dog/cat/horses as I have nothing to hide and I would feel reassured that they were following the system through.

Well, i have just been on the vet website and looks like you have to pay to view the database! She didn't tell me that on the phone earlier. Everything is money, money, money. These sick people take our dogs to make money. Need to find our dogs.... you need money at some point. It's true what they say... money - root of all evil.

Can't remember where i read the message about calling a certain number which is the RCVS and they will send you out a directory with all the vets in the country free of charge. I called them today.... ?60 if i want the directory sent to me!!! I just about pleaded with them not to charge me so she said that the website would probably be the most helpful to me. It would be quicker for me to get my message across to the vet practices country wide as it gives you areas in the uk to click on and then all the emails to about 500 vets in that particular area. But i asked her to send one out to me anyway.... but if there is an invoice with it..... she can have it back! Here is the website www.RCVS.org.uk You may well be thinking 'if someone brings a dog into the vets they would automatically scan it anyway' Apparantly from a vet in Oxfordshire that is not the case 'to my alarm!' He told me that if a new client comes in with a new pet then alot of vets do not scan as ....... (wait for this one).... it is considered rude to imply that the animal could be stolen. CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT!!!!! It left me speechless. (which is a rare thing i can tell you!) x x

Not wishing to dispute your information but are there TWO Appleby Horse Fairs? I know there is one up in Cumbria - APPLEBY HORSE FAIR 2005. Confirmed Dates 2nd - 8th JUNE. The Cumbria one is the largest in the country and it just seems strange to have two similar events with the same name.

I felt I must put my oar in on this site to express my thanks to you all for the practical and moral help and support you have, and are, giving to Caroline. George is a lovely, soppy great lump and really loveable. Trouble is he is too trusting for his own good and would probably have gone willingly with anyone who was friendly towards him. I have followed this from day one and I can't overemphasize how impressed I am with you all and the dedication and work that the organisers of this site show. Please keep up the pressure to find George - and all the other dogs that have gone "missing". It really is a scandal and it is only by continual pressure from people like you that something will eventually get done. Being down in Penzance, I am limited as to what I can do but I am with you all all the way. Keep up your excellent work. Don't let the passage of time make you get despondent and disheartened. Keep going - it's the only way to get results.

Have just been informed about a Horse Fair that a lot of the travellers (especially the Irish ones) seem to be heading to up north. If anyone can shed any light on when and where this is please could you let me know. ANYONE IN THE VICINITY NEEDS TO GO THERE TO LOOK FOR STOLEN DOGS BEING SOLD ON.

The found dog is now at Kennels in West Oxon - been trying since 12 to get an answer from County Council but still not got thru! Police at Witney think this dog is entire, so probably not George, but would be nice to know!!

Hopefully the scanners aren't easily available. If thieves can locate chips in dogs, they will be able to remove them. Best thing to do if you want to check a dog you see with someone, is make a fuss of the dog, then ask its name, see if it responds, then try the name of the suspected stolen dog. George would definately respond to his name, as i'm sure many others would. Can you PM me with more details of the dog and who you saw it with pls. Caroline xx

I was wandering can you buy those scanner things what they use when a dog is micro chipped!!! reason i'm asking is because i saw a dog yesturday with a kid and he looked like George.... so i stopped my car and asked the kid questions about his dog...the kid told me it was his dog but without a scanner i couldn't tell.

Another disappointment i'm afraid guys, the dog was identified and collected by its owners from the police at Catford.

It's the not knowing that makes you scream inside isn't it. You just think the worst all the time, it doesn't matter that people say 'you should think they are with some lovely family somewhere'. my reply always is 'if they are that lovely why have they not reported that they have found a dog and handed her in' if they had done that then Dolly would have been home in a matter of hours and I wouldn't be losing my marbles

Just to let you know, I have had the multi poster displayed on my bright yellow car at a boot sale in Bromley today and someone told me that she had found a black labrador looking like George just north of here last week - he was wandering loose in a park with a collar but the tag was missing. She took him to Catford police station who were going to pass him onto Battersea. A long shot I know, but I thought I had better pass this on.

2005-04-10 19:00 Goerges owner:

To be honest Candy, I would be slightly relieved if George was being kept by travellers, as the majority of them do treat their dogs well, the trouble is its always the nasty few that give the majority a bad name, i.e. those that steal dogs for fighting etc. Chances are as well that they'd give him up for a reward. I just wish I knew where he was and that he was ok.

Nice to hear you are not totally biased Caroline as most of the comments I've heard about gypsies on doglost seem to lump them all together as one bad lot, I know for a fact that there are some of the best people you will ever meet in the traveller community, but also some that are pure evil, but that goes for all walks of life doesn't it.

I read about that on the Veritas site Candy, he was dealing with Romanies, and to be honest, there's a BIG difference between them and the scum that just "opt out of society" but also CHOOSE to scrounge of it at the same time! I think these scum are the ones we have the problem with, rather than true romany gypsies.

I am so impressed by all your efforts and ingenious ideas to get George back, hope you soon have a good result. I was reading an article on Robert Kilroy-Silk who has very strong views on gypsies and for that matter everything else. He has formed he own party Veritas which stands for truth. I thought he might be a good person to contact, if you could get him and Anthony working with you I am sure George will be back at your side. Don't forget St. George's day on 23/4/05. Thinking of you and your boy everyday. Jackie.

I made business size cards with a small pic of George on it and my phone number so i could just give them out to people while i was putting posters up, shopping whatever! DTA are designing flyers to give out, contact Laura (Lilly and Puzzle) or Justine (Alfie) if you'd like some to hand out. Having the multi poster on a t-shirt is a good idea - need to wait for the weather to warm up a bit tho! What about car stickers? I'm sure we could sell loads for, i don't know ?1 each to help bump up DTA's funds.

Yes, I've seen them on DTA and think it's a brilliant idea. But (thankfully) not having lost a dog myself I'd just like to support/promote your cause. I could use the PC and make something I suppose. As for cards could there be something on site accessible like the posters to print off, cut down and use? To make owners aware of the vulnerability of their dogs and giving them tips to protect them - not leaving outside shops, microchipping etc... - Val

If you link through to dogtheftaction.co.uk and go to merchandising the t shirts are available with your dogs photo on-she can take phot off this site and put what ever wording you like on a shrt. I think double sided are about ?8 and single about ?5/?6 each.

What about some supporters Tee Shirts - Something Like Dog Theft is a Crime - we want it treated as such (or something - that was just off the top of my head!). After all we see the council vans proclaiming that Dog Mess is Criminal (which it is) but as we know, often these people taking dogs are into other stuff as well. Jayne - is it worth having shirts available - I'd buy some. I also like the idea of a sort of postcard to distribute to fellow dog people highlighting the problem (did I see you with something similar at Crufts?) Many people I talk to haven't a clue that their pet might be at risk. "Its not a pedigree", "It's too old", and all sorts of other reasons. I approach every new dog walker I see now and have a chat. I'm probably getting the name of the local village idiot and her dogs! On another note, any canvassing MP or representative will certainly get his/her ear bent if they knock on my door.

Caroline - there is a dog show at South of England showground next weekend (Sunday 17th April) in aid of "Happy Breed Rescue". I think that it may be organised by Crystal Palace Canine Association (but not sure). It may be worth seeing if they would be happy to display some of your multiple dog posters - just a thought. It is possible that i would go (but not definate). If you want to send me a couple then i would happily put them up in my car as well. If you think that i can help then PM me and i will give you my address. Zoe

Hi Caroline, thanks for your message. I've pm'd you in return. For the saga of my experience with the Police, please see the entry for 26/3/04 , Saluki Dog, South East, RG7, under Dogs Reunited (it's umpteen pages back). Individual officers can be very good, but you get the impression that they are actively discouraged from investigating/pursuing cases too thoroughly. Best wishes, Mm

Hi Meadowes, I've just found your page and your boy is very beautiful, I'm so sorry that you've not had any news, how can these dogs just disappear into thin air? Please read note below about Meridian TV, they're still looking for people to take part in this short film about dog theft. Even tho you don't live in the area, the dogs were taken from here so they may be interested, especially as yours is an absolute definate theft. I've pm'd you with the details. You never know, this might just do the trick, chances are he's living happily with people who've bought him unknowingly completely unaware how frantic you've been, and seeing him on tv might just prick their consciences. Best of luck, Caroline xx

Hi Caroline, I'm sorry but I haven't been following this for sometime. My boy has been missing for 13 mths now and I just find it too upsetting. My boy is a smooth-haired Saluki, Ralph, who was taken from my car on 14th March last year. Thieves smashed in the back window and took 3 dogs; one escaped shortly afterwards and was recovered; another was found nearly 2 weeks later on a Travellers' site, but Ralph is still missing. He's a lot older than your boy so I don't even know if he would have survived if they've mistreated him. The Police in general weren't much use although the Officer who was assigned to the case, and her partner, were very good. The Officer herself is a dog-person and she did a lot of investigating in her free time but it was all to no avail. It seems that the Police system discourages them from doing anything that isn't strictly related to an official 'target' and they really can / do turn incompetence into an art form! It's disgusting that dog theft is ignored like this - after all, we pay our taxes like everyone else and get nothing for it - I'm with you on the Downing Street idea. Forgot to add, my boy was taken from Mortimer / Beech Hill area (I'm not local, I was visiting), so it's just spitting distance from Wellington Riding. I gather it's quite a bad area for dog thefts. Good luck in finding George. Best wishes, M.

You're right sharon - its a shame, but in this day and age the only way you can ever get anything noticed is to make a nuisance of yourself - loudly, and if it means camping outside Downing Street ( and it'd make good news just before an election wouldn't it) and causing a ruccus - then I'm all for it! Come on guys - there are so many likeminded people on here - strength in numbers - lets make ourselves heard!!!!

Hi Caroline, that also bothers me i was wandering the same question. I think people would take them to the police station, i know some police stations close early every night but ours is open 24 hours, so i'm not too sure.

Last edited: 2010-05-11 02:17:18

2005-04-06 17:36 Goerges owner:

What bothers me is that if someone finds a stray dog on a friday evening once the wardens are closed, what does a non-dog person do? Especially if they don't have a local rescue centre or kennels willing to take the dog in. Chances are they'll off load it on anyone who is willing to take it, or be forced to let the dog loose again.

I couldn't agree more Marian.... The police just don't seem to care, but may be if they lost or had a dog stolen they would know how it feels, at the end of the day there just like us (humans) but some police officers think that there better than everyone else. Well dont know what else to say cause it really does annoy me. Take care. x

I went to a point to point on Sunday and had a poster for Jake in the car, so I took it along to the stalls and got it put up for the day. Everyone was looking at it and of course, being country people, they are really clued up on dogs - worth doing if you have any near you. What is this about police and dogs - I thought they were supposed to be taking dog theft more seriously now. I do appreciate that found dogs should go to the dog warden, but surely the theft should be dealt with by the police.

Unbelievable about lack of help from the police once again. I could not agree more, why don't they seem to feel that catching thieves is their responsibility ?? We need some of the zero tolerance policing you hear about abroad as the type of people stealing dogs are certainly involved in other crimes and travellers sites seem to be no go areas for them ! I have already written to my MP (as per the DTA group website) but not sure what else us council tax payers can do to make the police take notice ! Good Luck with your search, I am keeping my eyes peeled for you and have seen several of your posters recently (unfortunately, there are so many black labs in this area I don't feel able to challenge someone with a similar looking dog)

By the way, did you guys know that as from the 1st April the Police no longer take ANY information on lost/stolen or found dogs? Instead people are told to contact their local authorities. So remind me, what exactly is the role of the police these days? What the bloody hell are we paying our taxes for? Oh yes i remember, to fund them sitting in their cars trying to catch people going 5 miles an hour over the speed limit!!!!! Caroline x

The guys from Meridian were great tho, and really easy to talk to, so please, if you're covered by Meridian, get in touch with me for their details as they're still looking for more victims. They won't give your name or address out on air, and will only film what you agree to. Its a really good chance to get your dogs back. They were really interested in the multi poster, and got shots of it on camera. Justine, have PM'd u as they were also interested in the dog theft petition, and filmed me getting signatures. It won't be aired for a couple of weeks unfortunately, as they've got to get more stuff together, but will let you know when its on. Caroline xx

Nobody should feel as horrible as I do so i'll help anyone else in any way i can. If i could afford not to work i'd go door to door with a poster of every missing dog on site and bring them back home!

Kerry, I am afraid we have so many people descending on the Racecourse there really isn't an appropriate place for us to put your poster. The only conceivable area is the main reception area and its so busy in there on a race day it really wouldn?t work. We are also honour bound to take up the space we have advertising our sponsors etc. I am really sorry we can?t help you on this occasion. Best Regards, Melissa Hatton Caroline, this is the e-mail i have just recieved back from the race course.

The only reason that i thinking it MAY be gypsies (not wanting to accuse anyone at this point) is that there were some illegally parked in Reading and they were evicted when George went missing. This group have apparently turned up in Brighton, then moved on to Eastbourne. Their route would have taken them past our stables. We've had trouble with them in the past when they've cut through fences and tried to gain access to our land. George only had one way out of our yard - up the main drive and straight out onto the busy A33. He would've been killed if he'd got onto that road. And besides he had a collar and tags on at the time, so if someone had picked him up to 'rescue' him. My number was on the tag. Therefore I think he must've been stolen, whether it was by the gipsies i don't know, but its the best lead i have now.

I am sorry that it was not George too. I must admit that i was going to say what Sarah said - you don't really hear of travellers targeting labradors but as you rightly said in an earlier post, you would never really know! I live about half an hour inland from Eastbourne so if there is anything that you think that i could do then please let me know.

I really hope you hear some good news soon. How comes you think it is gypsts that took George? Has he been sighted on one of there camps? I was just thinking if he could have wondered off and been picked up and someone has kept him? please pm me and let me know what happened! Sarah (jakes owner)

Concentrating on the Brighton/Eastbourne area now, any helpers in that area, I'd really appreciate your help in putting up some posters in those areas. Still not heard from the people who were going onto the travellers sites down there to look around, dunno if thats good or bad news.

In terms of advertising outside the football season, you could try the county shows, also locally in Bracknell, ice hockey gets huge crowds (yes, really). How about railway stations. Do you think there is any chance of a regular slot in one of the dog magazines, surely they must be prepared to help, there's Your Dog and Dogs Today (I think). Maybe half a page a month with a selection of photos ? I wonder if Petsmart would be prepared to put a large poster up in all their shops each week if they were contacted centrally. Anyone any good at PR ?

Hello Georges Mum - i have been following your search for George and just wanted to wish you all the luck in finding him. You are obviously working so hard to try to find him and am keeping my fingers crossed that it all pays off. Hope the found dog turns out to be him - would be great to see him on the blue pages tomorrow! I think that i am too far away to help but am willing him to turn up safe and well. Good luck.x

Og bugger, didn't think of that. Don't reckon Cricket will have the same effect somehow! Still, what about greyhound tracks and race courses? Anyone else have any ideas? Having several dogs on one poster will still get each of us more coverage than single posters, so i reckon its still worth a go. Are football stadiums used for other things out of season?

Caroline can I just say something important. Didnt really think of this at the time. The football season is coming to an end soon. When I asked Eddie about the idea he told me Doncaster only have 3 home games left. Might be worth a go still but do you know if they will charge, might get it done for free at Doncaster with him working there Im not sure.

Just to let anyone know in the South East area whos looking for a lost dog, I'm putting together a multi dog poster to enlarge to A3 and then distribute with participants to local football stadiums. So far got GEORGE, ALFIE, LILLY, PUZZLE, MENO, MOLLY and JAKE. Got room for another 5. If you want to be included and can help in distributing let me know - cmcmerritt@aol.com or PM me on here. Including dogs name, age (now), breed, picture and reward amount. Contact number on poster will be doglost number. Jayne - can I legally put STOLEN at top of poster, or does it have to be worded MISSING? Caroline x

She found another missing dog, I've called the owner whos found her dog, but does know about a found dog that her vets called her about. I'll call the vets tomorrow. Have also got a lead on the travellers who were moved on from Reading when George was taken - they've travelled to Brighton, and on to Eastbourne (the route would have taken them right past my front door), so another kind helper has contacts who are going to look around the sites down there for me. Jayne, thanks for your help, and didn't you look glam on TV this morning! Caroline x

ok, i'm so mad now i'm shaking. Just spoken to Kenley police, who insist they know nothing about my dog. They even tried to tell me off for saying that it was urgent in my messages to them. Fraid i went off on one saying if it was a child they'd be out looking, and this dog was as important to me as any child would be, so yes, to me IT WAS BLOODY URGENT! If anyone who reads this lives anywhere near Coulsdon - its halfway between Redhill and Croydon, could i please ask them to see if they can find this poster - apparently its on a post box in the village. Maybe theres a local shop or pub who may know something. I'd drive down there myself but I have to work and don't have a day off until next Monday.

Guys would you believe I am still trying to talk at someone at this police station in Kenley. They didn't open until 11, and since then the phone has been on answerphone, I've left several messages asking someone to call me back - each one getting more insistent. I've even ended up talking to Scotland Yard and they've tried every number they have, but still no luck - what the bloody hell sort of crap organisation are they running down there??? If I hadn't had to work today I would have driven down and demanded they talk to me - but if Scotland Yard can't get an answer what bloody hope have I got??? Tearing my hair out here and trying very hard not to be totally abusive to this flamin answerphone! I've not told them what the call is about - just that its urgent - they obviously don't bother listening to messages! They close at 6.30 - so I've time for several more messages. Whatever the outcome of all this they are going to get a VERY STRONGLY WORDED COMPLAINT TO WHOEVER I NEED TO COMPLAIN TO - This is ridiculous!!!!

I was fortunate as they stole my car as well, so I got a crime number but no cooperation. However a local paper refused my ad that said stolen. I said, she was blatantly stolen as she disappeared in my car with some men I do not know, but they would only accept 'missing' I am going through with a formal complaint to Sussex Police as I hope it will raise the stolen dog issue. Do not lose hope Caroline - George is so gorgeous. Marian x

Hi Marian, I'm going to did a bit deeper into the traveller situation tomorrow when the rest of the country comes back to life. I'm going to speak to the Travellers liason officer and get some info from them at to sites etc. Though my dog warden doubts that he was taken by travellers as they don't normally target labradors. Strange that, I thought they targetted anything that wasn't screweed down! As to the police, I think the main problem is that most stations have a 'book' that the lost or found dog is written in, and it doesn't actually get put on a computer database that other stations can look at. When I reported George, he was put in this 'book' and they refused point blank to give me a crime number as I couldn't prove that my dog had been stolen! How pathetic is that!

I so sympathise with you Caroline. I have done so much ranting over the last 5 weeks. You have to get past the person who answers the phone - this usually involved me having a tantrum - sometimes this worked and I found station sergeants quite helpful. I have just finished my official complaint letter to the police. I am thinking of you and George - did you ever find where those travellers went. I know I am a bit fixated with travellers, but it sounded fishy to me.Marian x

Dee, believe me I ended up getting really stroppy with the police but they just weren't interested, I ended up being passed around from station to station, put on hold about 6 times (for about half an hour each time!), and only actually ended up talking to someone because he picked up my line by mistake when he wanted to make a call out! I was seething by this point and made him listen, but he insisted that there was no way I could find out about this dog until Tuesday - what more could I do? I've always been a law abiding person, but the incompetence of the police (well these ones anyway - I won't tar them all with the same brush!) makes me feel like a life of crime would be easy - especially in the Surrey area!!!!!

Hang on Caroline (this is just me thinking out loud, not knowing anything about the law but knowing a lot about how it SHOULD be run...) anyway, each call to each police station MUST be logged on their computer system mustn't it? I mean if I had been burgled in your area and reported it to the (closed) station, I would expect to be able to ring the area station and still find someone who knows how to find the information on the details I gave the closed one... so why is it different in this case? We all know that the police don't record lost dog info properly but it has to be there somewhere and it has to be recorded... somewhere... they can't be telling you that the officers who man that station don't work the bank holiday - they must work other stations too when they're not there... see what I'm getting at?? You might have to be Miss Stroppy Knickers to the area station... but it might get you the info you're looking for?

Linda, thank you - tho warn her about a black lab that is allowed to wander loose around Farley Hill, just up the road from Swallowfield, I've had numerous phone calls from kind people thinking that they've found my George, only for it to turn out to be this other dog - one call was from a lady who nearly hit the dog in her car in the village (no pavements) at 10.30 at night, I've even spoken to the owner who was very nice, but still lets her dog out to wander where he pleases! I'm in the process of trying to obtain a database of addresses of every vet in the country from RCVS so that I can give them details of Georges epilepsy in the hope that when he has a fit a new owner would take him to the vet (his trigger and manner of fit is fairly unique!) - If I'm successful in obtaining this database I'm more than willing to use it to help others find their pets, watch this page and I'll let you know how I get on.

Justine, thank you for your kind words, any help at all is truly appreciated. I've read your site and think you're fantastic in all that you're doing. I truly hope you find your boy and will, in return do anything at all I can to help you and anyone else. Wish I could go up to Crufts to support everybody but I have to work this weekend - will keep my eyes peeled for you all on the TV tho!

Hi, I really hope you find George. You have spoken with my mum, we lost the English Springer (Taz) in Arborfield, still no news on Taz but we have out fingers crossed. Just like we do for George he is so gorgeous. Good Luck, keep us informed.

Just another bit of info about George, he suffers from epilepsy and needs medication to keep his fits under control, can't believe i forgot to mention this before, it could be a reason for him to scare a thief into abandoning him as medication is expensive! So he could end up anywhere!

Thanks for all your kind words foks, unfortunately there still hasn't been any sign of George, which makes me think that it's very likely that he was stolen rather than wandered off. At least if he was stolen he's being looked after somewhere which is some comfort. Yvonne, George went missing from Wellington, he was last seen at midday on the yard, but as you know, Wellington is open to the public and anyone could have driven in and taken him from the car park as he's such a friendly dog. Thanks for reminding me about dog agility, i spoke to them all last night and everyone was really helpful. Meadowes, he has an identifying scar which would help me ID him, and also some very individual characteristics that might help! Keep your eyes peeled x

My 3 Salukis went missing from around this area 1 yr ago (14 March 04). The oldest one is still missing. There are a lot of dog thieves in this area. Does George have any other form of ID? If he has been stolen, the thieves will remove his ID from his collar. Good luck in finding your boy.

I am going to an agility class at Wellington riding stables on the Reading/Basingstoke road tonight, will take a poster and ask other owners to keep their eyes peeled. Where exactly did he go missing ? Do you think he ran off or was he stolen ? Good luck, he looks such a handsome chap.
