Poor sweet boy...poor poor Angela. I thought it was good news when I saw Cannon's name in the blue. Tragic. So glad he had known love, even for that precious week. Life can be such a bitch.

Sadly the search located Cannons body on a sandbank in the river quite away down stream. Thank you Bazil for helping owner and at least they now have closure. Angela has requested no Rainbow bridge poems please...owner wanted to remove Cannon altogether...but its only fair the helpers should be alerted to end the search. Thanks everyone for your help.
angela
See eyou all shortly
BBKM
Angela, Jill and anyone else who is joining in the search for Cannon, I will see you at 10am x
littlehelper
God bless him he's been through enough get home soon
angela
As you approach the honest lawyer there is a turning on the other side of the road which is about 250 m down the road and then turn left onto the bridge, if you get stuck ring me and I will come and meet you
Jill
where are you meeting i will be there x
angela
Been walking for over four hours covering the Shincliffe area in Durham speaking to the boat clubs, fishermen, and placed posters on the walks near the river wear.
AlisonH
Bumping due to media coverage as owner was on Alan Robson night owl show on METRO RADIO
angela
A million thankyous for helping bazil xxxxx
BBKM
Oh well done Angela, praying some news comes from this...media coverage will also get Cannon's page bumped to the top. I will be there at 10.00hrs on Sat Angela, see you then x
angela
Just been on the radio - Alan Robson night owl show on METRO RADIO getting more publicity, and just adding information on to the Metro radio face book
angela
Cannon is certainly giving us the run around, I have bought him and Alan Shearer some treats today, still hoping still praying.
angela
If any of you guys can meet up at the weekend I will be at the Bridge on the opposite side of the honest lawyer on Saturday at 1000hrs, please let me know if you can make it. Thanks

thanks to everyone who is helping Angela in the search for her lovely Cannon ! Angela do keep us informed if you get any more media coverage so we can bump Cannons page up to the top xLast edited: 2012-01-12 10:17:58 by Jumanji - Co-ordinator.South.Yorkshire
angela
Great we can all meet at the weekend as I have formulated a plan of areas to search
BBKM
Hi Angela, I am able to come and help on Friday or if you want I will wait until the weekend when Jill is coming so we can get a few of us out looking in different areas at the same time. Let me know what you want to do. Keep up the great work, you are doing brilliant x
Jill
Just let me know where and when, I am getting some flyers so I can get 4 on one a4 page, handy to give to people or put through doors x
angela
Thanks Jill, thats great will make arrangements. Thank you for putting up the posters I saw them as I was searching today. There are lots of ideas I have got, Dave suggested the poster campaign and advertising so I havelots of posters which I am going to place through people's doors. I am also looking round the local areas/housing estates. I have spoken to the police also just so they are aware that I am looking for Cannon (just in case people are suspicious). I am writing down my plan of action for the next few days, will speak soon

Good luck today guys well done to the people that turned up to help angela praying for good news xxx
angela
Thank you Brocks Mummy, Dave and myself are going again today to Sunderland Bridge. I will let you know what we decide to do next, but if we can spread the word then the more people that know the better. x
Brocks Mummy
Im so sorry that the outcome today was not more positive, and more to the point I could come along and lend a hand.I have asked my partner who works for skip company in the nr by industrial est (Littleburn)to put the word around there, and Im sure the guys at Deerness Kennels will let me know if they hear of anything.
I have some spare time Thur/Fri If there anything I can do? Living in the same village a both Louise and Dave Im sure they will keep me posted.
Please let him be found safe and well really soon!
BBKM
Keep strong Angela, you are doing all you can, see you soon x
Jill
Thanks Ashmark, will e-mail you soon. Sorry no news today Angela but we will continue to spread the word. More posters handed out to some Livery yards today as the riders may be able to help x

Good luck for today Angela, lets hope you get some leads to where Cannon is. Should be able to come through to help you near end of the week. Stay safe x

Jill if you email me mjh.ash@btinternet.com I will send you a copy of some flyers to print off.Last edited: 2012-01-09 14:20:23 by AlisonH
Jill
Really sorry I can't be there on Tuesday, Jake (who is 6)wanted to come back, I admit not just to look for Cannon he enjoyed making castles from the mole hills! He was a sight when we got home! Good luck for Tues and I will be there at the weekend to do what I can.
I thought you could print flyers from here to hand out to dog walkers? I was handing out posters anyway,but is there a way to get 4 on one sheet of paper? x
angela
Thanks yes word is getting round, I have printed off lots of posters and so much appreciated if people can help, as it is particuarly difficult to tell people the exact location of where he went missing, even if people can only turn up for half and hour I can brief them up and they may be able to meet up late in the week.
Jumanji - Co-ordinator.South.Yorkshire
Jill thanks SO much for all your efforts today !! ! Angela we will try to spread the message as much as we can that you would like people to join you on Tuesday 10th january at 9.30 at the parking area by the bridge to help search for Cannon.
BBKM
Good work Jill, posters always help, talk to you again soon x Fingers crossed Angela we get some news soon x
angela
Thank you so much Jill
DogLostNina
Viewing this story from afar. Well done Jill in all the help you are giving.
Jill
Posters in Sunderland bridge, The Honest Lawyer agreed to display one, many around the riverside walks in that area, Jake, Tilly and me have walked for miles! Spoke to several people that knew Cannon's story so word is spreading. Posters also taken to Durham university hospital, the passport office and one of the colleges (not sure which one,my cousin goes there). Sadly no news to report but I will go back and put up some more posters soon x
Angela, sorry I won't be able to make it on Tuesday due to work, fingers crossed for some news soon, I have put my mobile number on some of the posters so there is another local contact xLast edited: 2012-01-08 20:22:47 by Jill
angela
Thank you everyone - People are ringing me now to help look for Cannon. Can everyone please spread the word (for some reason I cannot see the Facebook pages he is appearing on) but please promulgate everywhere possible that from Tuesday 10 Jan at 0930hrs I will be waiting at the Bridge where people park to go walking at Sunderland Bridge to start the search this is where he went missing and I will take if from there. Got to find this young man he has his whole lfe in front of him, so much mischief to be had by him and Alan Shearer
angela
And as I said before I can meet up with anyone at any time suitable for the searching next week, I know it is probably the furthest thing from you brilliant helpers but if anyone would like petrol money etc paying I am happy to meet any personal costs.
angela
Yes thank you I have rang them up and not too sure why but the people who found this young chap rang the manchester area and although they have put details on the webiste this young chap was from Kent, but I will keep my eyes open still.

Sorry to see no news yet, I am off sunday so will take Tilly to that area with some posters. Angela let me know when you are going out next week and I will join you if I can. Speak soon Bazil x
DogLostNina
Are there any sports fixtures over the next few days that you could contact ie football,rugby,athletics, horse racing etc.
angela
Thank you Bazil, its a case of spreading the word now, I am going on the local radio again and will be up home next week I would like to get a search team going if anyone can help in the area.
BBKM
Thank you for the 'good luck' comments. Not long been back from having a good search around the river area this morning. Scanned both sides of riverbank with binoculars for about 2 miles. Nothing. I honestly think if Cannon did not get caught/trapped in the river (Angela did not see him go under)he will have been able to get out of the river as there are many easy exit areas. I am a little concerned that the main east coast railway is very, very near. I have also driven to various railway bridges within approx 5 miles and scanned the track with the binoculars. Angela it may be worth contacting the east coast line railway authorities. Cannon could be very far away now after 11 days or he may have a cozy den somewhere. If he is out there I hope he is safe. We need to get lots more posters up, will try and get back there in a couple of days, I am about 10 miles away. Talked to a few dog walkers who are all aware he is missing. There was a shoot on today, and if Cannon is scared of the gun then I think he will move far away from this area. But then again it might make him visible. Lets pray he is out there and someone sees him soon x Last edited: 2012-01-06 12:42:27 by BBKM

Thank you for your kind comment Angela. I will keep you updated Angela if any leads or sightings. I have noted your contact numbers. Jill I will message you tomorrow. Thanks for your knowledge of the river area Hello Janey. I am off to bed now as I am going to get down there as early as possible, with torch and binoculars,and lots of smelly treats. My hubby is coming too so I will not be alone. Lets hope Cannon shows himself, positive thoughts and everything crossed. Stay safe Cannon xLast edited: 2012-01-05 23:17:12 by BBKM
angela
Yes I could not thank the Journalist enough for putting him in, the Sunderland Echo are putting him in their paper also, and in the Durham Advertiser and Durham Times. my gut feeling is that he is out there somewhere - I just hope and pray he is not suffering.Last edited: 2012-01-05 21:35:57 by angela
hello janey
the write up in todays paper will prove the best thing for Cannon,,people take notice of this type of thing,,I personally think he would have got out further down and could have been taken in by someone,,that river runs for miles then out to sea at Sunderland,,thats a huge area to cover,this is where the paper comes in handy,,we got lots of calls of support over Alfie even though there was no sightings of him,,for anyone searching the area,,its worth noting that the river has huge straight walled areas where Cannon could well be trapped, they are very hard to check from the riverside and believe me Cannon will not help you out by barking ;-( I hope there is some news soon as I do think he is out there somewhere!!
DogLostNina
Oh Angela I am sure all us doglost helpers wish they could do more to ease your pain. I am sure its the pain of not knowing that is the worst. Can I ask what your gut feeling is.
dawny
This is so sad, i have been looking at Cannons page everyday, hoping to see him in the blue, i wish i lived near so i could help you in your search, i hope he is home soon, stay safe until you are found Cannon x
angela
May I just add a comment. I have served in the British Army as a soldier for 22 years, and I have been in some pretty horrible situations, but this is by far the saddest, I feel helpless and sad that I cannot find Cannon, as everyone who loses a beloved pet must feel. Until I contacted this website I was a one man band doing everything I could myself, and I cannot thank you all enough for trying to help find him, and people like you Bazil and Jill and the rest of you guys on here make us soldiers so proud to serve our country knowing brilliant and caring people like you are around helping in situations like this. thank you so much
Jill
Good luck with the search in the morning bazil, keep me informed as I can go on Sunday x
angela
Thank you may I just say this website is brilliant until now I have been trying to sort out everything myself, which is not a problem but the extra help is so appreciated.
DogLostNina
Angela you are doing very well and thanks for keeping us updated with all that has been done so far. Have just googled and found This is Durham has many places that you may or maybe not have contacted.
angela
Thank you I rang them the next day when he went missing and they took details down, I have rang them a few times since
BBKM
Angela, www.strayaid.co.uk based at Coxhoe, Durham is also a good website to put Cannon on. I will keep checking this site incase he has been picked up by authorities.

Cannon's details and photograph has appeared in the Nothern Echo today, my brother has just told me.
angela
Thank you. yes I have put up posters near the area, and have spoken to the local people.
BBKM
Tomorrow I have morning, afternoon and early evening appointments so will not be able to go and have a look for him. I will be able to go out Friday. I will go to the area as early morning as possible. A lost dog tends to move about dusk and dawn. Lets hope we get a sighting of Cannon before then. Do you know if any posters have been put up in the Croxdale area, and are the local people aware he is missing. I will keep checking on animal wardens and alfies lost dogs website.
angela
Thank you,very much so appreciate all this help. My dog Alan Shearer and Cat Bobby Robson and me have said a prayer for Cannon's return and for the safe return of all missing pets who are loved so much and are simply the family members.
cheesepasty2000
I have also posted on FB and the lost dog page on FB itself that I'm an admin on, I hope and pray Cannon is safe.
angela
Yes got a message to the local churches in the area, and contacted dog groomers, but will keep trying.
DogLostNina
Angela dont forget to take up Jayne's offer of the use of doglosts phone number as a contact regarding possible hoax calls..I bet she would love to tell them where to go. Have you thought about contacting local taxi firms, churches, dog groomers anywhere where people meet and would pass on info.
angela
Hi Janey Yes I am fully aware of Pranksters, but have some contacts that will advise me accordingly in whatever situation arises.

Hi Helper Bazil, I am a serving soldier based in Birmingham (but from the durham area and just came back up home to visit my family)and needed to return back to Birmingham carry out my military duties so unfortunately I am relying on people who I have spoken to and helpers like yourself to keep checking the nearby areas he was lost at. I am also in daily contact with the local kennels, local authorities and the dogs homes. so anything you can do would be much appreciated. thank you Last edited: 2012-01-04 20:54:32 by angela
hello janey
still no word on this lovely boy,,I have contacted the kennels further down river to alert them of Cannon,,But I'm afraid the reward will attract pranksters,,we did it and got some shocking calls of a hostage situation,police were called in the end ;-( hoping he is safe in someones home waiting to be found!!
BBKM
So sad to read how Cannon was lost. I have posted Cannon's page to my FB, I live in Co Durham area. Please let me know if you are organising any searches, I will be happy to come and help. Lets hope you get a sighting very soon, good luck. Stay safe Cannon gorgeous boy x
angela
Thank you yes will take on all the advice, and will put on the admin dogs lost website
DogLostNina
Dont forget to contact river authorities for help. Now that the schools are back offer a reward to local schools toward funds if they will ask the children to keep a lookout. Children see and hear a lot.

Thank you I am now going onto the website to contact the local rowing clubs and the universities (Durham university is close by so they can keep a look out)Last edited: 2012-01-04 17:44:41 by angela
DogLostNina
Angela under the circumstances of Cannon going missing have you sought the help of any rowing clubs or craft users that use the river for them to keep an eye out.
angela
Thank you for this support, I will not stop trying to find Cannon and will do whatever I can. The newspapers have rang today he will be in the Sunderland and the Northern Echo very soon, just want the publicity for him. I have offered a big reward (£3,000) and would offer more for him to get back to me safely. Some people say a bit silly offering so much as I may attract pranksters but there are a few things I know about the boy that no one else would. Please keep praying everyone.
truley tracey
Iam truley sad after reading the last comment too i really hope for Cannons safe return to his loving home All our paws are crossed xxxxxxx
DogLostNina
I am feeling so sad after reading the last comment. I am truly hoping that there is a good outcome to Cannon's situation.
Jumanji - Co-ordinator.South.Yorkshire
when Cannon went missing he had gone into the River Wear but got into difficulties in the water. His owner went in the water to try to help him but he drifted away in the water which was flowing in the direction of Durham City. He was wearing a burgundy coloured dog coat and a camouflage harness. There is a LARGE cash reward for this gorgeous boyLast edited: 2012-01-04 12:47:22 by Jumanji - Co-ordinator.South.Yorkshire

Thankyou yes I have regular contact with deerness and the rest of the kennels. There should be an article in the northern echo today. If you have time give m a ring and I can give you some more details.
Brocks Mummy
Im local to this area (DL17), is there any way I can help? Has anyone spoken to Deerness Kennels as its only down the Rd? There has to be something I can do to help!
angela
Anita1 thank you very much so so desperate to find Cannon would give absolutely anything for him to be returned. Although I had him a short time, he had a fantastic life ahead of him would have been spoilt rotten, adored and absolutely idolised.Last edited: 2012-01-03 21:41:12 by angela

Like so many other bullie owners I have shared on facebook....I am part of a big bullie community spanning the uk and we are keeping our eyes open for him and also Bayer that went missing in cambridge....please keep positive

Was this dog found in Cannon Hill Park in Birmingham? and then lost up North? is the new owner up North? or in Birmingham? xx
angela
Thank you for everyone who is helping. My other little dog Alan Shearer is missing Cannon. Cannon's last name is churchill after the great winston and his famous saying was never never never give in. Please please don't give up looking for Cannon Churchill. I am a serving soldier from the NOrth East but posted to Birmingham, and have had to come back to carry out my duties, so any help is massively appreciated.
littlehelper
Have put onto facebook
hello janey
just had a long conversation with the owner of this boy, I told her I dont think he has drown like they assumed at first, if you remember Alfie of 2009,,this is exactly the same situation, so advised her he could well be further down river but I believe he will have gotten out somewhere,,the main issue is the abscence of the chip, I will contact my old numbers tomorrow just in case he has been picked up,,hoping he is safe somewhere ;-)

Poor Cannon has not had a good start in life. Before being adopted by this owner he was found tied to a bench in Cannon park and had lots of scaring from being used as a bait dog. He has now been missing for 9 days and we really need all the help we can get to find him and get him back to his new owner.
