I don't know where BA10 is, but driving home from Bath towards Keynsham tonight (2115) I spotted an elderly black lab on the A4 in Saltford. I stopped three times to try and catch him but every time, "it" turned around and went the other way. He was wearing a chain style collar and had a limp - was Bruno?? We called the police who said they'd send someone to look.

Did you try ringing Happy Landings at Pylle incase someone has picked him up?

Hi, i am busy this weekend but will go out and look for Bruno next week with my female retriever. She doesn't miss a trick. Is Bruno's hearing good if people are calling for him? I only live 29 mins away on the A37.

Have been out looking for this boy this morning but no sign. (No posters seen either???)

The neighbours have been really good and have helped search their properties really thoroughly, we just dont know where else to look, apparently he was spotted walking back towards home by somebody riding past so it just seems rally strange that he never got back to us

Just a thought (not a very cheerful one), but it may be worth contacting network rail as there is a railway line not far from there. I'm sure admin will correct me if I'm wrong, but drivers sometimes report dogs that are seen on or near the lines.

Have e-mailed poster to the local agility club in Cloford. I doubt he's got that far, but you never know where people live.

This is so sad, how far can a 17 yr old lab with dodgy back legs have gone? Keep checking with the vets and rescue centres in case he has been picked up. I am also free tomorrow afternoon if you want more help searching. Do you know the farmers around the area well enough for them to allow us on to their land to search, preferably with another dog albeit on a lead as there is lot of livestock in the area? I will be out this evening, but if you post, I will pick it up when I get back.

Thanks Skylark...thats so kind of you...

Have been out looking this afternoon, sadly with no success. Spoke to a couple of people who are going to keep their eyes open. One of them already knew and was actively looking with her dog. Have also spoken to friends in South Brewham who walk their dogs in that area and they are going to spread the word and look themselves. I do hope Bruno is found soon.

Thank you. Did he go missing this morning or on the 1st (as is published)? Please let me know if you want help searching and I will meet you somewhere in Upton Noble. (I live in Trudoxhill).

Hi, he was last spotted 100 yards from our house at next doors farm, im afraid he often went there but always came home. he was last seen there at 9.30am and no one has seen him since. i have emailed photos of him to admin so hopefully they will be up soon.

2011-08-08 11:27 skylark

Do you have any more info as to where Bruno went missing? I live in the area and am more than happy to help search. Also worth contacting Francis & Jackson vets in Trudoxhill and the practice in Bruton, if not already done so.
