i am truely sorry to hear this sad outcome of your poor dogs. i cant imagine what you must be going through. i really do hope these evil people are caught and are punished for what they have done. xx

2012-03-12 16:25 jansus

thanks. I only asked because there were some rumours going around a few weeks ago about a shooting of a dog by someone on that estate. Again I am so sorry about the loss of Percy and the awful circumstances. Jan

What an extremley sad story, I don't think I will ever understand the evil who live among us. Can't begin to imagine how you would get over a tradegy like this :( RIP dear percy xxx

Jansus, the Estate where Percy was found was the Nettlebed Estate in Oxfordshire.

So sorry to hear this.Words fail me.

Can I just ask who owns the estate where he was found?
It was not the Getty estate was it?

I am so very sorry to read this. I wonder why the witness didn't go to the police straight away?? It would have saved Percy's owners from their endless searching and may have resulted in the evil b******s who did this being caught already. RIP darling Percy, noone can hurt you now xx

i am so very very sorry to read about percy,sleep tight little man,, there just are no words, my thoughts are with you all x

2012-03-09 13:04 BonBon

Words cannot express how I feel about this. I just hope that justic will be done, not only for Percy but for his wonderful brave owners and family. Very much in my thoughts. Carole

2012-03-09 09:36 Leona*

Ive not commented on Percy's thread before but followed his story, my heart goes out to you, as dog lovers we will never understand what goes on in the heads of others to cause so much pain and hurt to defenceless animals, I hope they are caught soon it does not bare thinking about what other 'kicks' these scum would get.

RIP dear Percy, you are safe now at home with your loving family xx

2012-03-09 09:25 Meru

These pieces of sadistic scum must be caught and if I had my way I would do the same to them. Justice must be done for Percy.

2012-03-09 09:12 rottie

i find it very sad that these heartless people than gain pleasure from shooting have never felt the love of an animal,they must be very lacking in their lifes that this is how they gain pleasure, what sad and soleless individuals, i am so glad that i am not in their head.my heart goes out to you i cannot think of the hurt and anger you must be feeling, i hope the people responsible also one day feel the same hurt however i am afraid i dont think they are capable of feel anything. at least now you have closure,give your other dogs a big hug and cuddle from me. xx

I am reading this the day after my beloved 16 year old Westie cross died suddenly but oh so peacefully in my arms at home. I am grieving for his loss but after reading your posts I am grieving too for you and your family. I cannot comprehend the minds these scum have - rest assured they will get their punishment, in the next world, if not this. My two black labs are comforting me in my grief as I'm sure your other babies are comforting you. I hope your other dogs fully recover from this and your little boy is okay.

2012-03-09 00:48 digbysmum

Can barely see through my tears here. The evil scum who committed this act MUST be caught and dealt with as soon as possible. Not just with a fine and a slap on the wrist but ideally put into jail, and the key thrown away. What other crimes might they have committed? I am so very, very sorry for the family that their search for Percy ended this way and can only imagine the heartbreak they are suffering. My thoughts are with them. Run free at the bridge beautiful Percy - no-one can hurt you now xx

2012-03-09 00:04 Neighbark

I have read and re-read part 1 and part 2 of this update.

To say I'm shocked...is an understatement!

I can't imagine what the owners and the other dogs must have gone through. To do what those murderers did was pure evil, and to put the family through so many torturous months of searching for poor Percy - was sadistic.

I do hope the police can find these men. They must have some idea who they are - not many people would 'fit the bill' .
Lets all hope and pray that justice will prevail, but most of all - I hope the emotional scars will fade and allow this loving family to get as close as possible to a 'normal life' again. God bless you all, and know just how many people are praying and wishing you our good thoughts and our sincere condolensces. Love Nola.x

2012-03-08 22:00 DogLostKimmybear - Area Co-ordinator, Essex & Hertfordshire borders

I'd like to say thank you to Percy's owner for sharing this terrible tragedy with us - it could not have been easy. It also helps to let others know what terrible evil thugs share this world with us. I do not know how you can ever come to terms with something like this, but this owner has to for her family, including her other dogs who have been through an awful time too, and, she has to for Percy. Percy would need his family to get through this and I'm sure he is doing his best to look out for them from up above. I don't think anyone can put into words how they feel about such a despicable act. No matter what happens to these thugs on earth, it will be nothing compared to what they will face when they leave this earth. As far as I'm concerned all these dogs are special angels to go through what they have and these owners have to be rather special too. Look at all the people Percy's story has reached; look at all the love Percy has generated. This is Percy's legacy. God bless you sweetheart and your loving family, forever. You will be together again and this time never, ever, to part! With love, Kim x

2012-03-08 20:49 ClaireC

If I were to put down in real words what I feel about these so-called human beings then I would be put into moderation. I just simply hope that the police catch these people and are dealt with in the most appropriate manner. I am so very sorry for your loss and share your grief.

2012-03-08 20:45 katie

Such an awful shame. I do hope the scum who did this are caught and given a sentence to fit the crime.
At least he is home at last. Play happy sweet lad at the Bridge with the warm sunshne on your back and the fresh warm wind in your face.

2012-03-08 20:19 Unknown

My thoughts, sympathy and prayers are with Percy`s owners, who have at least been able to lay him to rest near his family. Please remember that your boy is now fully recovered and playing at the bridge, and when the time is right you will be reunited with him in Heaven. Night, night Percy sleep tight. Sending your family loads of comforting hugs and absent healing for their grief. PS As for those so called human beings who are responsible for his death, I hope these cowards are caught and dealt with severley. PS I hope one day they rot in hell.

What a tragic situation. You must be heartbroken. An utterly incomprehensible story. Wishing your other dogs long and happy lives. x

2012-03-08 19:24 ruzep

Oh my god. I am just horrified and in tears. How could any human being be so evil. I don't know how you are coping with this awful nightmare. My heart goes out to your all.

2012-03-08 17:33 SanBarn

I've just read what happened to Percy and I'm stunned. The men that did this need to be strung up. It makes me wonder what else they're capable of, they are not human. My thoughts are with the family. RIP Percy, run free at the bridge.xxx

2012-03-08 17:21 AkitaTaz

I hope they catch the excuse of a human being that could do this. Thinking of you. Rest in Peace at home with your family Percy. Good Night God Bless xx

2012-03-08 16:17 coxy55

I've just read what happened to Percy. My thoughts go out to and your family, both human and canine. I hope and pray the evil beings that did this are caught and brought to justice. Although whatever that is will not be enough for what they did to an innocent animal. Sleep tight sweet Percy and know that you were loved.

2012-03-08 15:55 angi

I'm so very sorry and upset to read your update. Why would someone do this? My thoughts are with you as they have been all along. I pray these men are caught. Rest in peace gorgeous boy at home with your family xxx

2012-03-08 15:46 Unknown

This is so so awful.....there is no need for this, these 2 men need to be found and dealt with. They could be elsewhere in the country doing the same thing. RIP Percy, at least you have been found and are safe at home now with your family xx

2012-03-08 15:33 Shereen

PART 2

We gained permission from the Estate Office on that day to cross the land and retrieve his body and take Percy home.

This is not the outcome we had been expecting and I am heartbroken, as is the rest of the family, nothing will ever bring our beloved Percy back to us in this life, but we take solace in that we at least had the opportunity to bring him back with us at home to lay him to rest.

Thames Valley Police are currently investigating the circumstances surrounding the shooting of Percy and have interviewed a witness who saw two men shoot my dogs on the afternoon of the 19th of October. We did not know at this time that Percy had been shot dead. I would appeal to anyone who has any information, however insignificant they may feel it is, to please come forward and speak to the Police. It is law to report the shooting of a dog to the Police within 48 hours.

Lastly I would just like to thank you all so much again for all your kind kind words, and support throughout our quest to find our boy, we did in the end 'Find Percy', albeit not in the way we would have wanted :o(

With all my love
XXX

Words from Percy's Owner..........PART 1

I would like to thank all of you for your support and kind words following the news recently that we had discovered our dear Percy's body.

Percy was our beloved 2 year old Chocolate Labrador, one of 3 puppies from the same litter that we brought into our lives and we love them all dearly. Mo and Louis are doing well, they have grieved and now moving on, getting back to normal, playing in the garden, digging holes and chewing bones!....as Labradors do!

Many of you have asked about Percy's demise and we have been totally devastated since the discovery and I have not really been able to face anyone to talk about it, but as we have had Percy cremated and he is now resting at home again I feel it is time to tell his story.

Percy went missing from home on 19th October 2011, late one afternoon 2 shotgun shots were heard, nothing much was thought about this because the boundary of our home abuts the Nettlebed Estate in Oxfordshire. However on this tragic day Mo returned from the garden in distress, crawling on her belly, we rushed out to find the other dogs in the garden but Zeus the 4 month old puppy had vanished completely, thankfully was later found at a neighbours house having bolted following the gunshots and Louis was found collapsed in the garden trying to crawl back to the house with life threatening gunshot injuries to his head, eyes, mouth, ears and body, but there was no Percy! Louis was rushed to the vets where he was immediately attended to and it was touch and go as to whether he would live, but thankfully with the good care from my veterinary surgery and love from his family and sister Mo, he has recovered to almost full health apart from the 48 shotgun pellets still lodged in his eyes and his body (26 in his head alone!), amazingly he still has full sight, but this is a miracle!

At the time we believed Percy had fled in fright, and since 19th October 2011 we have searched mercilessly with Leo my 6 year old son for him, with the help of Doglost and many other volunteers who have helped and supported me, keeping me positive, campaigning, postering, walking miles and knocking on doors just in hope of a sighting of our beloved Percy, at first there did appear to be sightings, but sadly mistaken identities, we investigated each sighting and qualified and sadly disqualified it.

On Tuesday 21st February 2012 a farm worker ploughing a field on the Nettlebed Estate, Oxforshire discovered the body of a Chocolate Labrador, I took the call and immediately rushed out to see if I could identify the body. The body was badly decomposed and there was no identity collar, so I was certain this could not be my boy. I returned with a team member from Doglost with a microchip scanner, we scanned the body and the microchip confirmed that YES, this was my beloved Percy.............

Percy had been shot with a shotgun, a later post mortem carried out by my veterinary surgery confirmed that Percy died at the time of the shooting, there was no way he could have crawled to this spot which is 2 miles from my home. He had significant gunshot trauma, 'sprayed' internally with 80 pellets alone into his abdomen, this trauma would have caused death almost instantaneously or within a very short time of shooting, and he would have known little or nothing about it. Percy's Identity Collar with Metal Tag and his Active Freedom Fence Collar had been removed and are still missing. His body laid concealed in a large bramble bush in a field on the Nettlebed Estate, only revealed following recent hedge cutting.

You kept on saying you were waiting for us

But instead tears and sadness BUT gladness at least
Now Percy you can be layed to Rest in Peace♥

Chocolate brown Labrador i am logged with the site and can e-mail the finder? Really hope it is Percy obviously do not want to get anyones hopes up just trying to help xx

2012-01-16 09:11 Shereen

Thanks Old Southern White Bulldogs could I ask you one thing,please could you avoid putting food down at the moment as we have been doing so for weeks now but just in one spot,as we are trying to get Percy to find it and start taking it,we have also taken his brother and sister to the same spot so is only a matter of time...this way we can put a trap up in a safe area to catch him.Thank you so much for all of your help everyone and pleas ekeep looking because your sightings and help are majorly important!

2012-01-16 00:19 Old Southern White Bulldogs

Have been out around Christmas Common, Shirburn and watlington Hill this evening. We have left food out in 3 places.
No sighting of Percy, will pop over there again Tuesday and Wednesday to check again. Mr S.
Jade, have you been to see the lady at Woodcote Cottage again, as she would more than likely been the one to have seen Percy again if he was around Christmas Common.
Shereen - Have just read your post, will do, didn't realise that you were doing this.

Percy has had a few Dogwatch alerts done,im in touch with the local holding kennels so they send me any possible matches,as we know now this possible english farm sighting was not him but a dog called Chester now registered here on Doglost.so the one over near the ridge way was probably him! there were people (and owners) there tonight but no further news...YET. come on Percy! we all want you home.XXX

2012-01-15 22:52 karen

Just a thought is Percy on the Dogwatch alert as well? This covers the holding kennels and dog wardens and police in the Thames valley areas. Also it was suggested whilst looking for Quigley mentioning the loss on the Radio's?karen

Hello. Spent all day walking around Cowlease, Shirburn, Christmas Common, Watlington Hill, Ibstone areas with a pocketful of cheese in the hope of sighting Percy, Quigley or Teddy.Sadly no sign - but lots of people up there today and lots of people stopping and looking at the posters. I so admire everyone on this site for all your continous hard work. I will try and go up there again next weekend or whereever the sightings take us. Together we'll get them home. xxxx

Thanks Tiggs thats reallly helpfull im sure the english farm sighting could be him then!ill look into that now.

2012-01-15 16:33 Tiggs

I have just received a Dogwatch alert about another missing Chocolate lab who disappeared yesterday on a walk between Nuffield and Stoke Row, he is microchipped but does not ssem to be listed on here. As it is a similar area I thought it might be worth posting on here

2012-01-15 16:30 BBKM

OOh good luck, hope you find him and his friends and get them all back home xx Fingers crossed xx

2012-01-13 10:33 Lets Find Percy

We are still out looking for Percy everyday, we know the area he is using so fingers crossed it wont be long now!! :) A BIG THANK YOU to all of you for support through this terrible time! Mr S lost ur numbers but will contact you on here and really hope the next time we update you all on Percy it will to say he has been found safe and sound :)He does have a facebook page 'lets find percy' if you are not already friends with lets find percy please do become friends and share will all. Many Many Thanks Jade xxx

I'm one of the couple who spotted Percy with the GSD Teddy, we still look out for him when passing through and have a leash with us now in case we see/ spot him ( I have rescued dogs in the past, so would be quite considerate and sensitive if i came across percy ). Teddy's owner contacted me last Saturday morning to tell me that Teddy had been spotted, we have spoken since and have been told that Teddy was seen again as a result of an Air/ Plane search for a Catahoula Dog by the owner. Percy can not be very far, i think that items ( Scarf etc ) from the owner that are scented can be tied to tree's where the last sighting of Percy was, this could draw Percy in and maybe make him visit this marked area regularly if he relates to the scented item from his owner. You have my number Jade, please let me know if there is anything that we can do to help or assist you in anyway. Peace, Mr S.

Still looking for Percy whilst looking for Quigley have taken a poster to the Blue Cross adoption at Lewknor in case he was found Karen

2012-01-05 22:03 NickyJ

Teddy mentioned in a DogWatch update today, and refers to Percy too. Hope this brings more sightings.
Would be convenient if they also hooked up with Quigley and handed themselves in.

we have our eye on a particular area and believe Percy and Teddy are still together.but no sightings, apart from a possible one two ish weeks ago (which I only heard of today but third hand!!) not quite sure why this sighting wasnt phoned in because there are plenty of posters everywhere!!!...we are searching in the surrounding area of the last sighting though and have had some fantastic help from two really lovely people who are brilliant!!!!! (you know who you are) the search is still very much on for Percy...hopefully we will get another sighting soon.

Been in the area today,and we are fairly sure its the area Percy has been in all this time,would explain no sightings for so many weeks as the area has nobody in to see him,gamekeeper and security aware and we will be back tomorrow to have a bar b q! and to look for more evidence!

2011-12-17 20:10 Shereen

No news today im afraid but thank you to all the lovely people who turned up, we found a couple of interesting spots and we are going to look on the other side where the first sighting was in C.C so easy for access into both woods it all joins so lots of hopefully safe places!

Percy appears to of found a companion called Teddy! GSD who he was seen with the other night,She dissapeared with a collie x lab who was wearing a red collar,the sighting the other night was the GSD with choc lab with a blue collar...The collie/lab is home and normally Teddy would return home on her own,but seems she is staying with Percy.Lets just hope she takes him home to her house because she knows the area well,we will be deciding on a time for the search on saturday tomorrow and I will contact all that are interested.

2011-12-02 22:43 LindaT

Makes you wonder if someone doesn`t want to draw attention to Percy...could it be that someone in this area has taken him in? If it`s the roundabout by Sue Ryder home then that`s not a million miles away from Henley.... just a thought!

2011-12-02 16:47 Shereen

Well,we had 8 huge boards not on, but near Nettlebed roundabout with huge posters on with 'STILL MISSING PERCY',they were brilliant....somebody has taken them all!!!Ive contacted county council highways and no job has been logged to remove these the last couple of days .The man who deals with this was off today but ill be contacting him on monday just to see if they've been removed.IT IS ILLEGAL TO ADVERTISE ON ROUNDABOUTS SO EVERYBODY BEAR THIS IN MIND.But our boards WERE NOT actually on the roundabout.We really needed these up for the weekend traffic and also any traffic going to the Christmas fair in Henley tonight,So its a mystery at the moment but im sure we will get to the bottom of it.im annoyed because thats two days gone where people could of seen these and they havnt!!!!,Surely if the council took them they could of contacted the numbers on the boards to let us know....it just doesnt make sense!

2011-11-28 19:38 Shereen

I had a report of a lab Very scared in Stoke Row sighted at 4.30,but didnt get told until about 5.30 tonight,because it was dark the colour could not be confirmed if it was black or chocolate but the way this dog was acting would be highly likely to be Percy,he actually hid behind a sign so to avaoid being seen and then just ran,Ive taken a drive around the area but nothing,im sure he will be in the woods,we will be out in the morning scouring the area,this sighting was a mile and a half from the last one I really hope this is Percy it would all make sense.fingers crossed for tomorrow and that hes stayed in the area.

Hi Jade. Many thanks for the safe return of the trap and the pressies. It was very kind of you. What with everything that is going on at the moment it must be an awful time for you. We are all routing for you here and willing Percy to see sense and be caught. If only they knew what they do to us! I will keep checking his thread until he's home. Take care and look after yourselves. Mandy

I walked for Stokenchurch Dog Rescue this morning at the M40 Junct. 6 end of Ibstone, behind the industrial estate and into the fields, also at the top of Aston Hill towards the Nature reserve and through the woods in the loop between the A40 and the road to Christmas Common and I didn`t see a single poster anywhere for Percy.

Would the petrol station at Stokenchurch be able to look back on their cctv to see if they could get the reg. number of this ladies car, the police or PCSO should then be able to locate her from that info?

Thanks Majorjet for doing the updated posters,postering has already started in ibstone this afternoon,and will be carried on tomorrow,It could be possible this lady may of written the number down incorrectly and thought it was wrong on the poster...just a possibility,Ibstone is so close it must be him,distance and time scales just fit.It wont be long Percy mum is working so hard to get you home...cant wait to see him in the blue either!!!

2011-11-17 21:39 DogLostMajorjet (Jan) - Area Co-ordinator - Liverpool/Merseyside, North West

Details updated to show up on the poster and photo cropped to bring him closer. Word doc posters created and emailed to Shereen. Everyone is doing a fantastic job in the search for Percy. SIGHTINGS sound really promising. Keeping everything crossed he is found soon and we see him in the BLUE. Good luck Team Percy. xxx

2011-11-17 21:37 ML

Oh wow, that is really promising news. You might have already done so but How about putting posters through doors in Ibstone? That would explain why there hasn't been any more sightings.
I have everything crossed for you that you get your lovely Percy back very soon. Sounds like you are getting closer and it's only a matter of time. Xxx

2011-11-17 21:13 helen n

Dear Jade - that is really amazing news. It really must be Percy! There does not appear to be any other missing chocolate labs in the area. This all sounds like too much of a concidence otherwise. The lady had good intentions going to get the number, so there must be a reason she has not called you yet. Are you going to poster in Ibstone? Should we make door to door enquires? I think my neighbour Yvonne left a message for you today - as she would be free to help tomorrow morning. I will be free at weekend. This feels like positive news! Let's hope lovely Percy is safe and waiting to come home very soon! xxx

Thank you so much everyone for all your ongoing support, it means a great deal to us.

Please keep any suggestions coming xxx

2011-11-17 19:45 Lets Find Percy

**IMPORTANT** Last Friday 11th November a lady went into the Petrol Station in Stokenchurch, Buckinghamshire, As she had picked up a chocolate lab and had come in to get our number from the poster they had in there. We did not get a call from her! The lady is from Ibstone and said her house keeper/ cleaner was caring for the dog! For those of you who do not know the area Ibstone is VERY close to the last place Percy was seen!!! Ibstone is also a very small place, We need to find this lady ASAP! WAS THIS PERCY??????????

Hi Jade and everyone, put my thinking cap on today and I am sure these methods have been covered but also had a few strange but maybe they will help suggestions - all vets in surrounding areas to put up posters. I can do larkmead in cholsey, oxon. Any police reports from local and surrounding areas? Council road worker reports? Nettlebed post office, poster? I have put a poster with local Crowmarsh beautician and mechanic as people from those areas may travel down to Crowmarsh and my be able to help. Can announcements be made on the local radio stations often? This is the strange idea but you can go on light aircraft or helicopter rides in the area. How about doing this to see if Percy can be spotted in the local fields that go on for acres? Keeping everything crossed for Percy. He will be home soon.

2011-11-09 11:49 LindaT

Shereen, I`m not sure about the wall...that may be the Shirburn Estate, just opposite the Tree Barn at Christmas Common, would be good to inform them,also the Tree Barn along the top road there,they sell Xmas Trees and have a shop and visitors and it may be worth calling in there to inform them too, they have dogs in outside kennels so it may be a good area for a dog to be drawn to? The Getty Estate has lots of entrances and footpaths do cross it, I think one of the Lodge Houses can be accessed by the Sculpture Trail ( as it was ) at Christmas Common, along the track as you look at the car park, it`s on the right, not the house near the road, the drive goes along a hundred yards or so.

2011-11-08 17:49 Shereen

owners have been to the area of the last sighting tonight ,but nothing :(
Were going there again late afternoon tomorrow to try a bar b q and see if the smells will lure him...I really hope so.

2011-11-08 17:43 Shereen

Thanks Linda T....we getting the Getty estate checked out to make sure they've been informed...we know someone local who knows alot of the land owners....is the Getty estate the one with the big wall around it???

2011-11-08 08:27 LindaT

I walk as a volunteer at Stokenchurch Dog Rescue today and will make sure they are aware and pass the info onto the other walkers, will look out for Percy...has anyone informed the gamekeepers at the Getty Estate at Christmas Common area as they have game birds there and will be checking out for dogs disturbing the pheasants etc?

Fingers crossed for Percy, have joined his F/B page and shared. What a horrible story, hope your other dogs are ok. It looks promising that Percy is still in the area, so it is just a matter of time. What about search and rescue dogs, would they help in this case or do you think he would run off?

Thank you so much everyone for all your support:) I think we are well covered in the area now! Fingers crossed lets hope the phones RING tomorrow :) x

Been out this morning, had a good look round the wood where he was reported yesterday. No sign, but went up to picnic/dogwalk area just up the road, spoke to a number of dog walkers, handed out posters & left one up there.

2011-11-04 13:54 Shereen

Thats right its is, Barney 'n' Ozzie's mum,the area is being absolutely flooded with flyers as we speak,Maidensgrove was covered yesterday BonBon,in all approx 4000 flyers,maybe more so far have been distributed through postmen ,1200 through newspaper delivery and door to door as well as big amounts of posters going up in the area we are just going to keep extending that area till hes caught,Id like to thank all the people who have been so kind in letting us make this possible,Giant 'A' boards are also being made up with more flyers for the sale tomorrow at the Sue Ryder in Nettlebed where we are going to hand out more flyers....hundreds of people attend this sale every month who come from miles around.So, brilliant work going on here to spread the word!!!!

Is this the Christmas Common near Stokenchurch Dog Rescue? If so, a poster displayed where the volunteer dog walkers can see it wouldn't go amiss. Come on Percy, time to go home xx

2011-11-04 11:23 BonBon

Everything crossed for good news today. Do hope you managed to find somewhere dry to bed down last night, Percy. Just a thought but has a poster been given to The Five Horseshoes in Maidensgrove? I know lots of dog walkers from all around the area visit there, particularly at weekends.

Thank you Bon Bon, We are working really hard to spread the word about Percy as we think someone could have picked him up as he is such a lovely cuddly boy but we need him home as his sister is now not eating! as I think she is missing him?! they have never been parted. That is how we ended up with 3 of them as my husband did not want to break the family up :( Shereen is an amzing lady and has been our rock of support the time she has given to finding Percy is amazing! xx

2011-11-02 13:21 BonBon

Just heard owner's sister-in-law being interviewed on radio berkshire. Do hope this brings some good news for the family. Having now heard and read the full story, poor Percy must have been so scared. Thinking of you all and wishing a speedy recovery for all the other dogs and the safe return of Percy.

Alot of ground has been covereed so far looking for Percy,its definately possible this sighting last night was him,we took his sister out today and her behaviour changed when we were level with the property of the possible sighting,unwashed clothing and food have been left there just incase he returns tonight.if it is him hes crossed two dodgy roads so we will try and keep him in that area,to stop him crossing back,we're hoping it was him as there is no sign or sghting elsewhere as yet....loads of posters have been put up now,and many people aware .Serena,Thanks so much for your help today,it was nice to meet you,I will update if any more news over the weekend.
Dogwatch Alert has now gone out.

There was a possible sighting of Percy yesterday around about 6pm a couple of miles down the road,owners out now looking and putting posters up,Serena and I will be going out in the morning.Pup is ok ,but trauma to his chest ,he may of been kicked ??

2011-10-20 18:59 Serena

Have spoken with Shereen, if no positive developments tonight we'll go out looking tomorrow morning. Am tweeting like crazy, lots of locals (& kind non-locals!) passing on the message to alert drivers / dogwalkers etc. that he's out there somewhere. Fingers crossed he's OK, has just strayed too far.

2011-10-20 18:29 Shereen

the pup now is in the vets as was showing worrying signs,hav been out all afternoon and no sign of Percy yet.

2011-10-20 17:44 DogLostJayne - Founder Doglost.

Serena and Shereen now in touch. The dog who made it back was injured and is at the vets under general....vet has rung to say he has found pellets in his head. younger puppy was found 2 miles away but no sign of Percy...hopefully someone has picked him up.

2011-10-20 13:57 Shereen

2011-10-20 13:48 Shereen

2011-10-20 13:18 DogLostJayne - Founder Doglost.

Always needed...to ring owner and ask where other 2 dogs were picked up from as likely Percy may be in that area...tx
