Thank you to Helen, team and all the lovely people,who have given help and support, not only has our lovely Oliver come home to us. It has helped to restore my faith in human kindness, and the generosity of so many people. Oliver has been bought a new large bed all to himself. Lots of new toys, and many treats to come for Christmas. Ava, Oliver and family xxx

Woohoo!!!!!!!!!! I have just meet THE Oliver who has kept us all very busy for 6 days.
He was seen at Park Farm and then heading back towards Lound on the road so somebody followed him and he went straight up the driveway where he lives!
He is fine just a little dirty and very hungry....oh and he smells a bit!! I don't want to make this the oscars but I want to thank everybody who has helped get this boy home, not just the people who were out day and night but everybody who has spread the word on here and giving the owners the support they needed!

Welcome home Oliver xxx

Will put a reunited photo on when I have calmed down.

Someone at work has just asked if the RSPCA etc., have been contacted (i'm assuming yes) but just wanted to check.

Between 7.15 and 9am this morning I walked the whole area behind Poplars Farm across to the back of the school and the wooded area just South across from Lound Church. Sadly I didn't see anything although did chat with the herdsmen at Poplar Farm who are still keeping a look out.

Also: I saw the dead deer at Herringfleet last night - it was very light in colour and was most definitely a deer NOT a dog. It was gone this morning at 9.30am. I am going back over at 3pm this afternoon with my son if there is no good news by then.

2011-12-22 10:38 reiki_angel

thats appalling, don't know how people live with thereselves doing things like that...absolutely disgraceful, they need to get a life...sorry rant over x

Owners were called last night at 2 o'clock in the morning but it turned out to be a hoax as there was nobody in the area they were told to go to and certainly no Oliver. I am so angry about this, the owners have enough to contend with without having to deal with these sort of phone calls

2011-12-22 09:39 Julia

yes there is a white deer I have seen it near Bunkers Hill as you approach the water works - Now heading out to x

2011-12-22 09:15 Beemac2002

Fingers crossed Oliver is found today. I am geared up to come and give a hand Saturday if not. Doglost is a great family and helped enormously when we lost our dog in Fritton Woods.

2011-12-22 09:00 Sarah&Noodle

Sightings last night not confirmed. Possible RTC in Herringfleet so Ava going to check...think it may have been a white deer though. Dad's been out since 6am...no confirmed sightings. Last night's fb frenzy appears to be a load of nonsense. Not impressed. Thanks to all those who continue to genuinely help.x

2011-12-22 08:29 ruthann

now heading down marshes to wood if there is more evidence of something sleeping there i will ring ava so she can come and look as she should be able to tell if its her dogs hair my husband says doesnt sound like deer hair to him so hes coming with me

2011-12-21 22:52 BBKM

Also keep checking any unused buildings in this area, sheds, stables, barns etc he must be getting his sleep somewhere, probably got a nice cozy den. Good luck x

2011-12-21 21:05 jemhar

2011-12-21 20:56 ruthann

2011-12-21 20:53 KayzL

Keep us posted! Come on Oliver!x

2011-12-21 20:42 Maria Postle

ruthann, if you do see him please just contact the owner and wait for them. We don't want him moving on away from here as this is so close to his home x

2011-12-21 20:10 Julia

sounds promising :o) hope they find him x

2011-12-21 20:01 ruthann

getting in car and going to go have a drive round and see if hes come out this end

2011-12-21 19:33 DogLostHelen - Regional Co-ordinator - Norfolk, Suffolk and Cambridge

Another sighting tonight he was in the hedgerow opposite the church at Lound and ran over the field towards the Old Rectory.

Owners are there now .

2011-12-21 19:17 KayzL

We have just been and looked around in the dark incase he came out anymore, but still nothing. Will keep looking on here and if no luck tomorrow, after work i will take another walk! Fingers Crossed!

Hi again - I have to take my son out to work at 7am tomorrow so I am going to do an early walk. I am going to head for the area that he was seen early this morning unless anyone has better advice. Donna

2011-12-21 18:39 bucko1017

hi just to let you know i haven't stoped looking for Oliver since the first search party went out yesterday behind the owners property and today we walked from Hopton to Fritton on all of the farmers fields/tracks,went down to ashby church, over to the scout huts down the main drag and even walked down blocker lane I have handed out flyers to anyone i have came in contact with, my mum is aware as she works in the Fritton decoy, I have friends who live in ashby dell who are keeping an eye out and have posted everyday on facebook several times, I really hope this boy is found or comes home soon, he really is pulling at my heart strings, stay strong ava and sarah there are alot of people looking for him. will check the website tomorrow and head out again sending you lots of love x

2011-12-21 18:37 ruthann

i will go back in the morning to the place in the woods and see if there is any more evidence of him sleeping there

2011-12-21 18:11 want2help

I don't know if you are aware but lost dogs tend to move in a triangle formation, so if you map out his sightings, if may give a clue as to where is likely to move to next. It may also indicate if he has found a safe haven somewhere to sleep? Lets hope so and stay strong x

2011-12-21 18:00 DogLostNina

Hope the offer from Rain Air will produce results and it will help get Oliver home. Have just emailed them to say thnak you for thier generous offer.

2011-12-21 17:34 DogLostHelen - Regional Co-ordinator - Norfolk, Suffolk and Cambridge

Thank you Julia, we had a helicopter out the day before yesterday as soon as the sightings were called in ( it was already in the air) but sadly Oliver wasn't spotted. Please remember although Oliver is a nearly white coated dog he won't be by now, we are searching for a very muddy damp dog which would be hard to see in the fields!!

Kayzl he wasn't wearing a collar when he went missing.

2011-12-21 17:23 KayzL

By the way, does Oliver have any collar on with ID tag incase anyone else may find him?

2011-12-21 17:18 Julia

I have read through the amazing efforts of today - but it seems he is very frightened and it needs to be his owners who approach him..... don't ask don't get so I asked RAIN AIR of Beccles if they would concentrate any flights (subject to weather) across the Lound/Somerleyton area giving them the sighting spots of today, they said YES! I just thought if we could see him from above we might just locate him - Mr Rainer was very helpful he has a friend with a helicopter who weather permitting will ask if he will do a flyover as with Oliver being a large dog and nearly white coated on baron fields hes gotta stand out - so all being well they will head north to help he has my number but I will text him the owners number to ensure any sighting from about (if its flying weather) will get them to the area asap - thats a massive thank you to RAIN AIR BECCLES!!! Oliver you will be home soon x

2011-12-21 15:59 Unknown

Come on now Oliver get yourself seen and reunited NOW. Your family needs you home.

2011-12-21 15:50 DogLostHelen - Regional Co-ordinator - Norfolk, Suffolk and Cambridge

I have been out since 8 this morning following up all the sightings we have had, it has all gone quiet now and I believe he is resting somewhere. It is amazing the amount of people who are searchin.....THANK YOU.....can I just repeat what Sarah has said earlier on, IF YOU DO SEE OLIVER PLEASE PLEASE CONTACT THE OWNER ANYTIME DAY OR NIGHT>>>>>>DO NOT TRY TO CATCH HIM as this will push us back even further. I have just left Ava who is now taking her other dog and they are walking along Green Lane.

2011-12-21 15:38 Catherine

Just got back searched round lound, somerleyton and blundeston no sign of him. Like other lady said spoke to couple of people who know about him, so I'm sure he will get found xx

2011-12-21 15:31 gloria

Searched Somerleyton and area around Jay Lane this morning and have just got back from searching Lound Heath and Jay Lane again as this was where he was sighted, but didn't see him. Talked to lots of people and most had heard about Oliver so he will be found. Come on Oliver, you are desperately needed home. xx

2011-12-21 15:16 louise

Just got back from searching around Blundeston pits,fields and woods with no sightings of Oliver. Try again tomorrow if I need to. If there are any areas in particular that need searching please let me know.

2011-12-21 14:34 Sarah&Noodle

No sightings since this morning, think he's gone to ground..he was v stressed this am. Ava had requested that if anyone sights him to please call her instead of trying to get him..he's so frightened that he's running away from strangers. Dad has been out to scent the area with the rest of Oliver's pack...think he's trying to get home but can't cos of the smoke smell. Please keep looking if you can! :)

Hi, Ava, you don't know us but with also live in lound and live with five dogs, I just want you to know that we are thinking of you and that have been looking, myself and my husband now going out to look again. Keep strong xx

2011-12-21 13:45 norfolkbcs

I am going to join you all again about 2.40/2.45. I will call Helen when I get to the area to find out where I can be of most help. please come home today Oliver xx

2011-12-21 12:41 Bloater

So frustrating - it seems so close but yet so far. Come on Oliver, break cover and say hello to someone. Good luck to today's searchers.

2011-12-21 12:04 Ruffnreddy

Praying that Oliver is found soon & reunited with his Family xxx

2011-12-21 11:29 Goldenfrodo

I keep checking in to see if this dear boy has been found.
I have Golden Retrievers myself and we've got fingers and paws crossed that he gets home today.
Come on Oliver, we're all willing you to safety. xx

2011-12-21 11:18 Lesley21

Keep coming back on here for news. Have everything crossed that Oliver is found safely today. x

2011-12-21 11:18 joseppea

Ava currently searching behind care home in Lound, similar area to yday...jic anyone was wondering where to look!

2011-12-21 11:14 DogLostAngus

having just cooked brunch just had an idea - if anyone is at home on his known route and could cook a couple of rashers of bacon with the door open that may tempt him in to safety

2011-12-21 11:02 Shereen

fingers crossed for Olivers return today,Stay safe gorgeous.XXX

2011-12-21 10:39 reiki_angel

sending Reiki energy to Oliver giving him the strength and courage to find his way home.

2011-12-21 10:38 Tizzles mum

Cant stop thinking about Oliver, am going to go for a drive about to look for him after work!!

2011-12-21 10:32 BBKM

Remember stay calm if you see him, crouch down low, even lie down preferably with some food in your hand and outstretched for him to approach and if possible have a woman make whimpering/gentle crying childlike noises. Keep it all calm and slow. Lets hope this is the day Oliver comes home. Fingers crossed for you x Got a feeling he may make his own way home, come on Oliver son you can do it x

Have alerted joseppea family to the fact he may be making his way back towards them

2011-12-21 10:19 Unknown

Come on Oliver, we know you can get back. liz xx

2011-12-21 10:15 Sarah&Noodle

Latest sighting 30mins ago; back of the old rectory in Lound nr lothingland school. Heading towards blundeston. Might be going bk towards house from yday??

2011-12-21 10:12 DogLostAngus

Bumped for Sightings today, Pete I am sure owners would apprieciate your eyes & ears - please text them and see where would be most useful as they will be out searching and may not pick your message up on here till later

2011-12-21 09:38 Pete

hi.. i live in Flixton...do you want a hand/eyes??

2011-12-21 09:28 Sarah&Noodle

Confirmed report that Oliver is too frightened to approach strangers and that he is looking very thin. Thinking throwing some food his way may help....if we can get him to stop for long enough!!

2011-12-21 08:55 Sarah&Noodle

Latest sighting was that he headed through Carpenter's Farm towards Somerleyton. Dad & Ava are over that way looking...

2011-12-21 08:23 DogLostHelen - Regional Co-ordinator - Norfolk, Suffolk and Cambridge

THE SIGHTING WAS ON GREEN LANE BETWEEN PARK FARM AND GREEN FARM.

2011-12-21 08:15 DogLostXenas Mum - Area Volunteer, Norfolk

....cross posting from FaceBook..... Less than 30mins ago between park farm and green farm which are between Lound and Somerleyton.

2011-12-21 08:09 DogLostXenas Mum - Area Volunteer, Norfolk

Oliver was spotted in Blundeston at 6.15am - Poplar Farm on Lound Road if anyone is in the area?!

2011-12-21 07:53 reiki_angel

Both my Husband and I walk our dog in Blundeston early in the morning and at night time and are both looking in all gardens etc., Our dog is very aware of other animals (dog or cat etc) so hopefully if she suspects anything she will alert us. Please please don't stop looking for this beautiful man, he needs to be at home

Praying hard that Oliver is found soon. Come on Olly, youre nearly there!!

2011-12-20 21:43 DogLostHelen - Regional Co-ordinator - Norfolk, Suffolk and Cambridge

Owner's have left bedding, food and water out at the house incase Oliver does make his way he will smell familiar smells and hopefully stay in the area.

2011-12-20 20:45 DogLostHelen - Regional Co-ordinator - Norfolk, Suffolk and Cambridge

Julia it is likely that he won't come to his name, your best approach would be if you see him to crouch down low with no eye contact and throw some smelly food to encourage him to you and possible back off, let him approach you.He will need to have the confidence to come to you, you could also try whimpering/crying very softly.

PLEASE DO NOT TRY TO GRAB HIM AS YOU WILL ONLY HAVE ONE CHANCE!!!!!

I hope this will help you if you do see him, and of course contact the owner's immediately

2011-12-20 20:32 Julia

Will walk Ashby Church tracks as soon as its light and take a spare lead - can I ask is he likely to come to a stranger if they use his name? just wondering howw confident he is etc just to gauge best way to get closer if any of us do come across him :o)

2011-12-20 20:19 Maria Postle

We have been looking for Oliver today, took our dogs to Herringfleet Hills and drove around Somerleyton and Blundeston. Will be doing the same tomorrow! I can't imagine what you must be going through, hope is home safe and well soon x

2011-12-20 19:23 joseppea

Put some dog biscuits and tinned food out near where he must have been got in (assuming it is actually him!)
Fingers crossed it was him and that he turns up soon!

2011-12-20 18:59 BBKM

You are doing brilliant, your posters are vital for sightings. Will it be possible for joseppea to maybe put some smelly food in their garden or where they think he came in, sardines are good..if he is in this area or travelling in a triangle like most lost dogs do, he will at some time come back this way, if he gets the food he will keep coming back. Good luck, hope your boy is home soon x

2011-12-20 18:36 lyn n andy

We have been following the search for Oliver since Sunday. We have friends in Flixton and Blunderston who we have made aware he is missing. Our dogs are like children to us, cant imagine what you are going through. Our thoughts are with you and Oliver. Come on Oliver...Home boy.

2011-12-20 18:17 Julia

I left Lowestoft at 5pm and went via Blundeston even driving some of the farm lanes around Somerleyton into Ashby and back round to Lound but sadly nothing - I to have been really upset by this lad going missing - Come on Oliver we need to get you home x

2011-12-20 17:57 DogLostHelen - Regional Co-ordinator - Norfolk, Suffolk and Cambridge

Thanks for coming over today norfolkbcs it was very frustrating for everybody. We went over to the area of the last sighting and meet the owner and her daughter there. If it was him he is getting closer to home so fingers crossed we will catch up with him very soon xxx

2011-12-20 17:43 norfolkbcs

Just home - very frustrating as we seemed to miss him by a whisker a couple of times today. Please come home soon Oliver xx

2011-12-20 17:14 molly

If only our thoughts and wishes could send him home! I have never been so affected by a missing animal before, its made me register with doglost. Please stay safe Oliver x

2011-12-20 17:00 Jackie

I hope Oliver finds his way home as he's nearly there, surely he should soon come across something familiar .....Please stay safe Oliver till they find you xxx

2011-12-20 16:50 DogLostHelen - Regional Co-ordinator - Norfolk, Suffolk and Cambridge

Thanks Julia x

2011-12-20 16:32 Julia

have left messages with the SNT Norfolk Police for the Southern Villages that cover Belton and into Fritton woods in case he comes back this way -posters in car and window on Sandy Lane Belton and guy who lives in big property that goes to the back of the common is aware and will keep look out if his security lights are triggered Julia

2011-12-20 16:18 DogLostHelen - Regional Co-ordinator - Norfolk, Suffolk and Cambridge

Just back from searching, sadly no sightings of Oliver but if it was him at Market Lane he is heading towards home and is so very close.
Thank you joseppesa for contacting us about this possible sighting, and thank you Angus for keeping this page and facebook up to date.
Come on Oliver xxx

2011-12-20 16:12 DogLostAngus

Spoken with Helen and it ties in with another sighting reported to search team so fingers crossed that he stays in the area

2011-12-20 16:10 joseppea

No problem good luck.

I hope you find him and that I haven't just raised your hopes up! :)

2011-12-20 15:50 DogLostAngus

Brilliant thanks for that joesppea, have passed info to Helen the local coordinator who is out searching at the moment with owners x

2011-12-20 15:43 joseppea

Replied to your email, had another look a little while ago but didn't see him around 'the pit' or near the woods. Don't really have any other information, he didn't stick around in the garden long enough to catch him, though he was a fairly big dog like the one above and he ran through quite quickly - must've crawled under a fence or something?

Will keep an eye out, good luck!

2011-12-20 14:49 DogLostAngus

just spoken to Helen, if that was Oliver in joseppea's garden then he is heading in the right direction for home - please Oliver stay safe - if only you knew how many people are looking for you right now x

2011-12-20 14:26 Lankeela

Hopefully the net is closing on Oliver. Good luck in your searching.

2011-12-20 14:23 Lesley Stephenson

Via Blundeston.

2011-12-20 14:21 Lesley Stephenson

Ian is driving to Somerleyton to have a look out for Oliver, any updates, I can then text him directions.

2011-12-20 14:16 Debra A

now going to bundle the kids in the car and have a drive that way xx

2011-12-20 14:13 joseppea

Hi,

A retriever ran through our garden about an hour ago in Blundeston (just off Market Lane near the pit/woods end) that looks pretty similar to the photo. Went out to look for it straightaway but couldn't see it anywhere. It might not be him, but we've never had a dog that's just off the lead come into our garden before so it might be worth having a look in Blundeston. (We did look around several fields and in the village though).

Good luck!

2011-12-20 14:07 Shereen

Good luck!x

2011-12-20 13:55 lesleyjane

Too far away to help but sending good vibes and hoping Oliver is home soon, there are a lot of people aware and helping it appears, well done for spreading the word so well.xx

2011-12-20 13:31 norfolkbcs

Hi I have a rough idea and yes I do have Helen's number. There is no response from her phone at the moment but I have texted her to let her know where I am going. If you speak to her I am going to park near Somerleyton train station and head along the tracks towards Flixton - I can't see Sandy Hill on the OS map either but I suspect that is the area. Should be there by 1.45

2011-12-20 13:26 DogLostAngus

norfolkbcs - do you have Helen's number ? just been trying to search but don't know the area and don't want to send to you the wrong place - if you don't post here and I will text it to you

2011-12-20 13:17 norfolkbcs

Can anyone tell me where Sandy Hill is - I am now on my way out to have a look again? Donna

2011-12-20 12:52 DogLostAngus

message from Helen


Possible sighting at Sandy Hill on the track running from Flixton to Somerlyton...... now on my way!

2011-12-20 09:20 DogLostHelen - Regional Co-ordinator - Norfolk, Suffolk and Cambridge

Owners, friends and helpers will be searching the area around Belton, Somerlyton today, leaving posters and flyers as they go.
Come on Oliver it's time you were home xxx

2011-12-19 22:24 Julia

I live on Sandy Lane and will check the area as much as possible and let other dog walkers know x so hope he is found safe and well x

2011-12-19 19:05 DogLostHelen - Regional Co-ordinator - Norfolk, Suffolk and Cambridge

Thanks Mollsmum for responding so quickly so I can alert the owners. x

2011-12-19 18:57 Mollsmum

Yes, apparently he was rummaging in the bushes she said he looked like he was hungry and searching for food.
Im printing some posters and will put them up in Belton tomorrow.

2011-12-19 18:37 DogLostHelen - Regional Co-ordinator - Norfolk, Suffolk and Cambridge

Mollsmum, Belton Common is that the one off Sandy Lane near the Wild Duck Holiday park?

2011-12-19 18:05 DogLostHelen - Regional Co-ordinator - Norfolk, Suffolk and Cambridge

Thanks Mollsmum, have alerted the owner to this possible sighting.
Had another confirmed sighting at Somerlyton Saturday evening.
Just shows the posters are working as the calls are coming through.
Praying he will be home very soon xxx

Thank you norfolkbcs x

2011-12-19 17:59 norfolkbcs

I have a friend with lots of dogs who lives on the edge of Belton Common - I will message her with the information.

2011-12-19 17:44 Mollsmum

A lady walking her dog saw a dog matching his description on Belton Common this afternoon, I have been for a look but was too dark will go there again tomorrow.

2011-12-19 17:24 DogLostHelen - Regional Co-ordinator - Norfolk, Suffolk and Cambridge

Thank you norfolkbcs for coming along to help, it was good to meet you.
I left flyers in Somerlyton with dog walkers and put posters on The Green at Somerlyton and also the railway station.
I have also just heard that Oliver's owner was interviewed on Radio Norfolk so hopefully the word is spreading fast.

2011-12-19 16:06 norfolkbcs

After I left I walked from the back of Somerleyton through to Ashby Church along a track but saw nothing. Someone else went to walk through the estate via the pedestrian entrance. As promised, I will walk my dogs in the area over the holidays and keep checking here for updates.

2011-12-19 15:21 DogLostHelen - Regional Co-ordinator - Norfolk, Suffolk and Cambridge

We had a really good turn out for the search and I want to thank everybody for coming.
Posters and flyers were handed out to everybody we meet and some people went off in cars to poster further a field.
We then heard the news that there had been a sighting of a very dirty, wet dog in Somerlyton on Saturday so everybody put thier efforts into that area.
All local farmers and the gamekeeper is aware so hopefully we will get some more calls very soon

Once again thank you everybody for giving up your time to help search for Oliver xxx

2011-12-19 13:48 helen n

THE SEARCH FOR OLIVER
The search is going ahead at mid-day form Lound but can I ask people to be very careful on the roads as they are very slippery
I will understand if some people will not attend because of this x

We will be meeting on The Street at Lound if anybody can spare a few hours please do come along

2011-12-18 16:33 Patch

Is there a co-ordinated search in progress / area's covered so far etc ? Am in Oulton not far away so can help search if needed. Does Oliver get on with other dogs ? If yes then we can bring one or two dog friendly noise-makers to help attract his attention if he is hiding somewhere ?

2011-12-18 13:16 gloria

I have been out looking for the lovely Oliver and posted flyers in Browston, Ashby and Somerleyton. One man said he had seen a stray Retriever in Lowestoft town centre yesterday but this seems too far for Oliver to have gone but worth a mention. Stay safe Oliver and I hope you are home very soon. xx

2011-12-18 13:07 DogLostHelen - Regional Co-ordinator - Norfolk, Suffolk and Cambridge

Posters and flyers now E-mailed on to the owner's daughter.
