Rainbow Bridge

Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.

When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge.
There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together.
There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.

All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by.
The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.

They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent; His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.

You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.

Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....

I was gutted to get the text from J MO earlier today with the sad news. :(

This is everyone's worst nightmare. Deepest thoughts are with Tara, Maureen and her family.

Run free at the Bridge gorgeous girl and sweet dreams, you will be sadly missed by all who knew you. xxx

2012-06-17 22:43 Unknown

RIP Tara at the bridge xx

I also heard today that Maureen has lost her gorgeous Tara. Run free at the bridge Tara. You will remain forever in so many people's hearts. xxx

2012-06-17 22:19 scootjockey

Ive just read on NW facebook that Tara has died. Im so so sorry. Tara was assaulted/tortured whilst missing for a week or so. FB post states her death was caused by some internal damage done to her in this vicious attack. How could anyone be so horrid to the core to do this to a helpless dog.RIP Tara safe now in doggie Heaven.Stolen Tays mum x

DogLost CJ Thanks for your update on Tara. Glad she is ok now.:-)

2011-10-14 09:35 DogLostCJ - Police Liaison & SE Regional Coordinator

Last advice came from vets who after recieving payment for the last bill up dated by saying that they would be taking out her stiches and expect that no further treatement would be needed.

In mean time we are awaiting forms from crime stoppers in order to launch an appeal for infomation with reward to try and catch those responsible.

Unsure of any further information on how she is doing at home- maybe the owners would be able to update on this ??

2011-10-11 21:15 Unknown

Still no news then on Tara.

2011-09-30 16:20 Unknown

Could we just have an update on Tara`s progress please? Have been thinking about her a lot.

2011-09-26 20:04 Unknown

A friend has told me she has used a herbal remedy named Anxiety, which can be used for dogs and cats. A|nd hbad some very good results. Maybe similar to what other members have suggested. But its early days yet for Tara, after what she has been through, not just the attack but all the visits to the vet. It has probably taken a lot our of her being examined, injected, x rayed? etc. (like it does us). She probably just needs time as well as medication. And of course all the love you are giving her. God Bless and loads of love to Taraxxxxxxx

2011-09-26 19:46 Puddies

There is a product called D.A.P, I think the dogs trust use it in their dogs that are in kennels to help with stress levels. It comes in a diffuser form (like a glade plug in), a spray or impregnated collar. The diffuser works wonders on my dog around firework night, might be worth a try x

2011-09-26 11:04 DogLostNina

Have you heard of Bach Flower Remedies. It might be worth visiting their web site to see if their products could help with Taras recovery. We used their products on our recued Scotties when we got them as they were so angry/nervous. We bought both Holly and Walnut varieties, put a couple of drops on a biscuit twice a day and got outstanding results in a short time.

2011-09-26 09:39 Unknown

Hi Maureen. Sorryh to see that Tara is a little jumpy at the mement. I know its easy to say and not so easy to do but I expect it will take time for her to trust again, I think the mental scars will probably take a little longer to heal than the physical ones. I did watch a TV programme where a dog had lost trust and they were advised to ask people of both sexes just to say hello to the dog as they passed him by, but nothing more. Thge dog was confined not because he was aggressive, but because he was afraid. I thiunk he had been ill treated. After a short while he began to trust again. I can understand how you feel Maureen, these so called human beings are the dregs of society and will probably never amount to anything. Hope when they are caught they get the strictest penalty they can for this horrific crime. Sending absent healing and love to Tara. And kind regards to you Maureen and your family. We are all rooting for Tara and I will pray for you all. God Blessxxx

Thanks CJ. :) I've posted the message onto Tara's Facebook Group. x

2011-09-25 08:21 DogLostCJ - Police Liaison & SE Regional Coordinator

IMPORTANT MESSAGE TO ALL WHO DONATED FUNDS


Ater a tremendous response there are enough funds to pay the vets bills up to date plus some in reserve for future medication and treatment that is still on going.

The appeal was launched to pay the costs of treatment but would like to ask that maybe some funds could be used as a reward to be given to catch the culprits.

We need to make sure everyone is happy with this as they have given to help costs and do not wish that anyone feels they may have been mislead if funds are used also to help catch the persons responsible.

this message will be posted onm facebook but please feel free to cross post to anyone you know who donated.

please respond if you do NOT wish funds to be used for reward by sending an email to

doglostfundraising@yahoo.co.uk

mark it NO to REWARD

thank you CJ

2011-09-20 22:50 DogLostJackalee (Kathryn) - Area Co-ordinator - Greater Manchester

hi janiejewel1649. I would make the cheque payable to A.Regan and put Tara's Fund on the back of the cheque, maybe include a little note. Thank you so much for still thinking of Tara, most would have given up by now :) xx

2011-09-20 19:40 Unknown

Hi Maureen. Pleased Tara is making progrftess. After several attempts to donate online, because like otghers I failed to find "Description" on Tara`s fundraising pages, like some others.

Sending lots of love to Tara and her owners.

The support for Tara has been outstanding, we cannot thank you all enough you are all stars. :) We need to try and find the culprits and the media is the way forward. J MO has done a great job getting more coverage on Tara's story, keeping everything crossed it brings some results.

Like some others I too cant seem to get my donotion to Taras fund either on the message board or the donation page, so will take it with me to Paws In the Park as I understand there will be a collection box there. Get well soon Tara.

2011-09-15 13:09 DogLostCJ - Police Liaison & SE Regional Coordinator

AMAZING PEOPLE together you have raised £1060!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We will try and update list of names on notice board as soon as possible.

Paypal takes over 3 days to get into account so once i have enough funds hopefully by tomorrow i will be phoning the vets and paying the bill. I have told them how much funds are in reserve for her so to get all the treatement done that is needed.

2011-09-15 12:55 DogLostJackalee (Kathryn) - Area Co-ordinator - Greater Manchester

Tara is back at the vets this morning. Will update later as soon as I have news :)

2011-09-15 12:01 DogLostJackalee (Kathryn) - Area Co-ordinator - Greater Manchester

I'm am pleased to say that DogLost have spoken to the vets to arrange to pay the outstanding balance of Tara's fees. This will be done in the next couple of days when the funds clear :) Obviously Tara is still undergoing treatment so this will be monitored and any funds that have come in will continue to go towards Tara's treatment. Thank you all you lovely, caring people :)

2011-09-14 15:28 Unknown

Hi Angus. Thanks for your advice. I must have lost the plot. I THINK I have managed to donate to doglost via paypal. Can you make sure it goes to TARA`S FUND. If this has failed let me know and I will send a cheque for £10.00 folr her. Thanks for your help Angus and all at doglost. Lovely to see Tara on her "on the mend" photo. Kind regard to Tara` family. Get well soon Tara.xxxxxxx

2011-09-14 15:22 tazmo007

Glad Tara is getting better :)

Have tried to leave a message on Tara's thread but can't find a "reply" button. Is there a way of cropping the donations so that only first names are visible? People may not be comfortable about having their full name on the internet. We have to give our full names because of revealing financial details (fair enough) but may not want that in information in the public domain. If we just had first names, people could check their donation has gone through. Thanks

2011-09-14 15:21 J MO

Both Dog World and Our Dogs have agred to run a story about Tara's attack in their National Dog papers, with links to Doglost and Tara's Facebook page and police contact details. Hope this helps to find who did this. xx

2011-09-13 20:44 DogLostAngus

Hi janiejewel1649, I think the problem is you are trying to use your doglost password to access your paypal account - you need to use your paypal password once you get to the landing page for the fundraising doglost account, let me know if this works for you

2011-09-13 20:15 Unknown

Hi Tara and your owners just want to say hello again and am pleased that you are healing nicely. I hope they soon find the scum who did this to you Tara. Am still having troubled trying to donate, tried all the options but nothing will go tyhroiugh. I have used my usual password (like on here) bit it just wont work. Doglost did change my password earlier this year on a temporary basis (though I am still using it). And this is how I get on the doglost site. Have used "Donate " now button before without any bother. Is there another easier way I can donate anyone? Think there is a paypal/password problem here. Thank you.. God Bless Tara xxxxxxx

2011-09-13 20:00 DogLostMajorjet (Jan) - Area Co-ordinator - Liverpool/Merseyside, North West

New photo received of Tara, have grouped together with her previous reunited photo. Tara you are a true fighter. xxx

2011-09-13 17:44 DogLostMajorjet (Jan) - Area Co-ordinator - Liverpool/Merseyside, North West

Finally back online now which is great after having no Internet for a week, got a lot of catching up do to now.

I’ve been in regular contact regarding Tara with Jackalee who has done an outstanding job along with others THANK YOU.

The response has been outstanding and once again everyone pulls together and helps out where needed cannot thank you all enough you are all true STARS.

While in my vet today I took the poster down they had up and vet, staff and customers were shocked to hear the news of Tara’s return.

It is brilliant to get the news she is on the road to recovery and things can only get better now for her and her family who have all been through hell and back.

Thanks again everyone, I’ll add the information and payment details in the top information boxes to make it easier to find. I’ve managed to keep her page at the top each day via phone.

Sending Tara and her family a massive big hug. xxx

2011-09-13 10:50 DogLostJayne - Founder Doglost.

Hi Janiejewel, see Angus's post below about the donation. I went through the Noticeboard and managed to make a payment to Tara's fund.

2011-09-12 20:30 Unknown

Hi Tar. Just checking to see how you are. Pleased you dont need a second operation too. I would like to donate to Tara`s fund, butr am having some difficulty in doing so. Have tried paypal (thought I did have an account). Not sure now). I then tried the Donate Now button, no joy there either. Does not seem to accept my DL password, I know it is correct, because I used it tonight. Then I tried Emergency Funding which keeps taking me back to Tara`s "Reunited" page. CAN SOMEONE HELP PLEASE?

2011-09-12 19:23 MICHELLE NEWMAN

Have just seen the photos etc., that is just too despicable for words. I have made a donation via paypal, and wish dear little Tara and her family all the best xx

Good to hear that Tara didn't require a second op and seems to be making slow progress. It will take time but I am sure with the love and care that Tara is receiving from her family will ensure that Tara will make a full recovery. Lots of love Tara xx

J MO, Tara has been to the vets a couple of times since Friday but she is back tomorrow for a further op. Will keep you all posted on how she is. I've had a few requests to create an FB page for Tara so progress can be updated. Will post on here when I have done it x

2011-09-11 19:47 DogLostJackalee (Kathryn) - Area Co-ordinator - Greater Manchester

Thank you so much guys. Angus has now created a page on the Notice Board for Tara's donations.

Click on Notice Board (in the menu on the top left of this page) and you will see Tara's Fundraiser where there is a direct link to the paypal account. It should say doglostfundraising at the top and then underneath, to the left of where you put the amount it says 'Description', you can add Tara's Fund here. Hope this makes sense :)

Jayne, hope I haven't confused the issue. Have now amended it on the earlier post to the link that Angus gave to me :) so sorry xx

2011-09-11 18:22 Unknown

Charlene. The amount you donate isn`t the issue (in my opinion). But the thought that you are helping an injured and defenceless animal to be nursed back to health. And every penny counts.

2011-09-11 16:56 charlene

Hi - I am so shocked at this its unbelievable ! I am sending lots of positive thoughts and prayers to tara !! I really hope she pulls through and is ok. I read that Tara has no Insurance and i would like to donate money towards her vet care - it wont be much but if it helps even a little bit to making sure that Tara is able to recieve medical treatment then ill be glad. ! I will donate via Bank Account as I am unable to put TARA'S Fund anywhere on the donate button - I hope that these horrible people are csught and severly punished x

I'm not sure individuals can register with justgiving and it costs charities £15/month. However, family could set up a paypal account and then give us the details.

2011-09-09 16:29 Unknown

This b eggars belief. They are low life undesirable scumbags and I hope you never find peace in this world or the next. (I am fuming here) Anyway I am sure that Tara will soon recover and get back her confidence with tlc given TLC which I am sure she is getting/ Will pray. light candles and am sending healing thoughts to Tara. We are all rooting for you. And God Bless you Tara and your family. God Bless you all

2011-09-09 15:04 DogLostJackalee (Kathryn) - Area Co-ordinator - Greater Manchester

someone has suggested Justgiving.com and to be honest a couple of people have offered to contribute. Looking into at the moment so any advice is more than welcome. Really want to help the family and if people are offering then we need to get something sorted. Every little helps. I'll have a look at tailwaggers too. Thanks tazmo007 :)x

2011-09-09 14:19 tazmo007

not sure if you were referring to family struggling to pay vet costs below. If so, it would be worth getting in touch with tailwaggers - charity which raises money for individual cases. (if not, ignore this message). I wouldn't be surprised if some people here would be happy to chip in a little if needed. Even the price of a pint from a few people can all add up. But how could we organise that?

Poor little Tara, hope she does get some confidence back. Dogs are amazing and I really hope Tara can put this behind her. She has definitely got the best chance with such a loving family.

2011-09-09 14:14 Deb4gsd

Bless her, what a horrific thing to have to go through, I hope she manages to pull trough both physically and mentally xxx sick, sick people out there and it's happening more and more, just hope these sick monsters (being polite)are found and I would quite happily do to them what they did to poor Tara!!!!

Thanks Jackalee for posting the article link, just logging on quickly while in work. Below is what is in the new coverage:

The owners of a dog stabbed by sick thugs have pleaded for help in tracking down the attackers.

Tara, a 12-year-old Jack Russell-Alsatian cross, needed plastic surgery after being knifed in the Blackrod area of Bolton.

Owners George Way, 64, and his wife Maureen Way, 58, from Chadderton, Oldham, had left the dog with their daughter Vikki, 38, in Platt Bridge, Wigan, while they went on holiday.

Maureen said: “These people have got to be caught.

“Tara has been very badly affected. She is so nervous now with everyone and everything. I almost wish she had died than have been put through this.”

She said the vet had told her that she had never seen such horrendous injuries.

Spoke again to Maureen. She is doing a fantastic job in making people aware of what has happened, determined for it not to happen again. Tara is in tonights Manchester Evening News, tomorrows Wigan Observer, its been on the radio all day (not sure which station) and Maureen actually lives in Oldham so she is contacting the Oldham Chronicle tomorrow. Yesterday the police were not interested in making out a crime report for Tara but this morning Maureen had a call from a policewoman who wanted to visit and take a statement. She is a dog owner herself and is determined to try and find out more and is appealing for witnesses via the newspaper articles. Maureen is also contacting the dog warden in Wigan and the gentleman who found Tara.

Maureen wants Tara's story spreading, please all feel free to help. Tara was back at the vets this morning and it is thought that they may need to do another small op. She is back there on Monday but is starting to eat a little. She is obviously traumatised still and is flinching at the smallest thing, it was barbaric what happened to her so it is understandable. Unfortunately Tara isn't insured but the family are determined to do all they can, irrelevant of the cost but if anyone has any ideas that will help, please let me know. Sent Tara a big hug from all at DogLost, get well soon sweetie :)

Spoken to Jackalee tonight who is doing a great job liasing with family they are going through hell at the moment and we are all behind them and sendling healing thoughts to Tara.

I've had no Internet access since Tuesday and relying on phone connection which is very frustrating, hope to be up and running soon. Xxx

No prob Jackalee - we all want the same thing - fair and decent treatment of animals. You are doing a great job. Hope something good can come out of something so horrible. Total round of applause of all helpers and those still looking for dogs. and love to Tara and family. Hope i didn't push things ahead too quickly, but glad they are taking an interest x

2011-09-08 11:47 Millys Mum

I'm so sorry to hear what's happened to your beautiful Tara and hope that she makes a full and speedy recovery. There have been so many of our missing dogs who have ended up in similar circumstances i.e. Jess the border collie, two lovely lurchers (?) found hanging from a bridge and a Staffie or Staffie cross from the Hertfordshire area, I believe. Once again I can't recall the dogs name but believe he was tan-coloured and, sadly, I know there have been others. I'm pleased to hear the local press are interested in running a story which will hopefully be picked up the national newspapers or even a TV company who finally seem to be cottoning on to animal-related stories. The thing is, that it goes without saying, that if these vile low lifes can carry out such terrible and unbelieveable acts of cruelty, then they are capable of anything. Once again I wish Tara lots of love and a good recovery. Sending healing thoughts...x

Sorry Jackalee and Majorjet and Tara's family. Didn't mean to over ride you. Guess i just got the urge to DO something when things were already in hand. I will leave it to you and mail reporter that you will be in touch. Hope Tara is doing better this morning x

2011-09-08 02:16 DogLostJackalee (Kathryn) - Area Co-ordinator - Greater Manchester

Just finished working and seen your comments tazmo007. Thanks for contacting the wigan Observer. When I spoke to Vicky (owners daughter) this morning I said I would ring her back tomorrow to give them some advice, as per Majorjet's post. The other 3 dogs named in SuzeeBee's post are all dogs that have gone to rainbow bridge recently, from different areas (Ripley and Diesel were together)and all 3 died in different but very cruel circumstances. My thoughts tonight are with Tara, hope she is feeling a little better tomorrow. We're all sending positive healing thoughts your way girl xxx

2011-09-07 23:01 tazmo007

Wigan observer mailed me back, interested in fact that up to 4 dogs may have been stabbed (from comments below). I don't have any details. Would majorjet or Tara's owners be able to contact them with more info? Majorjet you can email me for addy or get it from google search. Thanks

Spoken to Jackalee now and advised to ask owner to contact the DW and also any local papers who hopefully will run a story to alert other dog owners in the area. Keeping everything crossed the PDSA will help out with treatment required. x

2011-09-07 11:39 DogLostJackalee (Kathryn) - Area Co-ordinator - Greater Manchester

Received a phonecall from Tara's family this morning, sad news I'm afraid. When the vet operated yesterday it was found that Tara's injuries had not been caused by an animal as was thought but stab / knife wounds. Tara's family are devastated and it is not known yet if she will pull through this. They have been in contact with the police and the vet has contacted the RSPCA. The family want this taken seriously to prevent this happening to other pets. If any one has any experience of anything similar or know of any organisation that could help let me know. The family are desperate for any advice they can get.

Sending big hugs Tara from all at DogLost - take it easy girl :)xx

Glad that Tara has been found. With so many Dog Homes existing I think it would make so much sense if doglost were to become THE National Missing Dog site so that all rescues, owners etc. knew where to look as their first point of call.

Spoken to owner’s daughter who was actually looking after Tara while her parents were on holiday, they are back home now.

Tara is 11-12 years and got out of the house and ran off. The actual match that Jackalee made was the one in BL6, she was picked up in Parbold which is near Wigan and taken to Leigh Cats & Dog’s Home. Tara does have an injury which could be caused by being attacked by a fox or dog. She is going to the vet tomorrow to have surgery. While at the Leigh C&D Home she was CHIPPED which is great news.

Family are over the moon to get her back and will send us a REUNITED photo in the next few days. I’ve also asked them to let us know how she gets on in the vets. Good luck tomorrow Tara sweetheart. xxx
