I've tried contacting Milly Cumming on the tel number but it's gone to voicemail so I have left a message on that. Hopefully she will have a look at the page and see all these posts.

Milly: if you see this please would you add Reiver's microchip details as it will make it easier for us to make matches with found dogs. (It will not be seen on the page as it remains confidential to all but Admin and DL Co-ords)

Also think this one on our Doglost 'found' page should be checked by you please. Not sure if Reiver has any white on his back paws as not clear from the photo. Found very close to you in Gypsy Lane and I think only about 20 miles away!

Unfortunately we can rule out the roaming stray in RG42 area (86730) - we now have better photos and a video of him and it's not Reiver.

2015-05-27 17:25 DogLostBobble - Area Co-ordinator - Somerset & East Sussex

I've emailed owner about 87350 a distinct possible too. Good Luck Reiver x

Could the sighted dog 87316 be Reiver?

Two years and one week on and there are many of us still looking and we will never give up hope.

Thank you to all Reiver's supporters, I'm sure it is comfort to owners that there are so many of us still looking for him.

2015-01-14 09:20 DogLostMillieVW - Area Volunteer - West Wiltshire

Aw still look out for him xx

Found 76481 worth checking?

2014-02-22 21:25 DogLostJayne - Founder Doglost.

tx KL have emailed owner to ask her to take a look.

2014-02-22 21:22 kl

for attention of Milly Cumming - have you seen dog found number 63974 named jingles - looks incredibly like Reiver but they are saying its about 10yrs old - dont want to get hopes up but well worth a look

2014-01-16 19:44 kl

I was just about to refer to this as well Marissa, it is owned by Milly but thats not to say the one on fb page and twitter is not Reiver, looks incredibly like him - im hoping that Milly sees this and can look for herself - details are on the Lostbox webpage -

2014-01-14 18:28 Marissa

Is this dog owned by a William Soper?

2014-01-11 14:36 DogLostBobble - Area Co-ordinator - Somerset & East Sussex

Dog 62883 found nr Salisbury is bigger than 20". May be worth Reiver's owner (only) contacting Bath Cats & Dogs home to reassure herself though.

2013-04-10 14:16 Daisy18078

Might be a completely different dog- very difficult to tell from pictures but please check out https://www.facebook.com/#!/photo.php?fbid=238820086256199&set=a.194895107315364.43648.194893973982144&type=1&theater.

2013-02-27 23:33 Clarkey - Area Co-ordinator, East Sussex

Haven't ever forgotten about Reiver .. always keeping an eye open when looking at found dogs. Miracles can happen .. after all he is microchipped so don't give up.

2013-01-20 10:44 RonnieCSS

This boy doesn't look as fluffy as your little lad, but worth a look

Hi Milly. Sorry to see no sightings or news on Reiver. Will not give up looking at lurcher piccies on all dog sites .. remember that dogs turn up months and even longer after they have gone missing. Never ever give up .. miracles do happen especially when you have been sensible enough to microchip your dog. Will be thinking of you at Christmas and keeping my fingers crossed that one day soon you will get the news you need to find your boy.

2012-11-20 14:12 DogLostBobble - Area Co-ordinator - Somerset & East Sussex

A "Found" dog described as Sandy Greyhound, but worth a look? 45395 on the site.

Aww..when I saw Reiver had been 'bumped' I had hoped you'd had a sighting. Glad you have got an ad in tho .. good not to give up. It's amazing how many dogs turn up months or even years after going missing..2 in recent weeks. That microchip will get him back yet. Keeping everything crossed you hear something from the ad.

2012-06-27 09:20 B30

Advertised in this weeks Countryman's Weekly magazine.

2012-06-24 12:09 Ellie

I am trying to find more details for a found lurcher in Leicestershire to see if there is any possibility it could be Reiver. www.doglost.co.uk/dog_blog?php?dogIId=39278. If owners could ring admin again in a few days when Jayne is back in case she has more info

2012-05-31 09:39 B30

That's a shame. I'll advertise him again in the magazine asap

2012-05-31 09:34 Milly Cumming

there no longer seems to be a dog matching the description at Babbington - but i have since been in contact with Maria from the link below and have sent her this doglost link. she's going to see if there is anything she can do. thanks everyone. sadly not much else to go on. :(

That's a shame no one got back to you :( It says on the photo now that this dog is now with Babbington Dog Rescue, if that's any help.
Will keep looking for Reiver.

2012-05-14 10:18 Milly Cumming

hi all, i facebooked this person who had the dog, and have tried to join the group, but no luck, and haven't heard anything back, so can only assume that the dog in the link below wasn't Reiver. thank you for sending the link though.
Milly

2012-05-04 12:58 Milly Cumming

thank you Debbie. this dog looks as if it might have had its hair cut at some point, so i've contacted them to see if they can check a few other details. it doesn't look 100% like Reiver, but he's been gone for 5 months now and is growing into a 2 year old, so could have changed. thank you so much for posting that link, i'll keep an eye on it and let you know the outcome. thanks again

2012-05-01 12:26 Milly Cumming

Thank you Clarkey!! You're wonderful. I have just re-tweeted too - not giving up yet!! This is not known fact, but one psychic we consulted said that he would return home in May. On this, the first of May, can I put out a renewed plea to carry on keeping an eye out for our Reiver. If you spot any shabby posters, please pop up a new one. If anyone needs new posters, please don't hesitate to let me know and I will send them out. Anywhere in the Wiltshire area - PROJECT BRING REIVER HOME THIS MAY!! Thank you to everyone. Milly, owner

2012-04-29 21:38 Clarkey - Area Co-ordinator, East Sussex

Retweeted today. Don't give up .. he's out there somewhere waiting to see you again.

2012-04-10 12:49 Milly Cumming

Dear Mena Viana, thank you so much for your post. Unfortunately that doesn't seem to be Reiver, but well done for finding that dog and I hope you are able to reunite him with his owners. Best wishes

2012-04-09 22:41 Unknown

2012-03-25 10:24 WendyR

Did anything come of your chat with the GLO and if so are there any areas you would like help with postering in? We are walking near Devizes today and will poster around there.

2012-03-21 09:33 Mollychops

The landrover has been traced, and the family that own it do indeedhave a lurcher very similar to Reiver, but have had him for a much longer time, 2 years or so. Great work everyone with the postering. Wendy yes please do, x It was lovely to catch up with Reivers owner earlier.

2012-03-20 12:42 WendyR

I replaced posters on Roundway and Redhorn Hill (blown away I think) - should I put more posters around Devizes and downs?

2012-03-16 20:59 truthseekers

This is very good news, sounds like the police are on the case with this. Hoping Reiver is home soon.

2012-03-13 22:07 DogLostMillieVW - Area Volunteer - West Wiltshire

I'm in Trowbridge (BA14) and it sounds as though WendyR is getting closer to me with postering, if I can help in any way then please shout. My email is michelle @ timvw.co.uk.

I keep checking in on Reiver and thinking about him, hope he is safe and will be home soon xx

2012-03-09 21:00 Clarkey - Area Co-ordinator, East Sussex

Glad the police are following up .. just hope they find Reiver. Don't give up, he's out there somewhere waiting to see you again. Carry on checking with everyone so that they know he is still missing. Keeping fingers crossed for you.

2012-03-09 15:36 DogLostJayne - Founder Doglost.

Hoping you get some feed back soon via the policeman...has he indicated where the man lives so we can email poster again to local helpers...

2012-03-09 14:53 Milly Cumming

police have managed to track down this vehicle, and one of the policemen was going to go and question the owner. haven't had an update as to how this went yet, but will let you all know as soon as possible. thank you for putting up posters in the local area, hopefully he'll become well known there as well as around the salisbury area, so if he is still around, he'll be recognised. it's so tricky, but we can feel the search diminishing again, which is so easy if you have no sightings and therefore nothing to go on, so just a quick and hopefull plea from the owners to please keep this little boy fresh in your minds when you go out for your walks. it is so appreciated, and we are so grateful for everyone's help. thank you! kindest regards Milly (owner)

2012-03-05 13:35 WendyR

have begun putting posters around Market Lavington/Redhorn Hill area - mil extend this to Edington/Westbury area. Might be worth checking with travellers liason officer again (the person who took you
around site) Also sites in Dilton Marsh & Bratton. Good luck

2012-03-01 15:42 Milly Cumming

hi Janus, thank you so much for the link. that is a lovely dog, but not Reiver i'm afraid. thank you all! milly

2012-02-27 21:39 Clarkey - Area Co-ordinator, East Sussex

Hi. With the new information re this man, his vehicle and registration etc..perhaps your local newspaper/Friday Ad and the local TV stations would be interested in running the story. Worth a try to keep Reiver in the headlines and make him 'too hot to handle'. Also hv you tried calling Lurcher search on 01598 753563 as they may be able to help.

2012-02-26 14:15 BRIONNE

I am the lady who saw Reiver on the bus at Warminster.have been following this closely on here hoping that he has been returned.Surely someone must know who the man who took this dog is.

2012-02-25 09:33 jansus

sorry if I have posted this before but is always worth checking lurcher link as they have posts from dog wardens all over the country. They have just had a broken coated youngster in from a pound - but I dont think it is yours as it was bought in with another dog and they think they may be related - but it might be worth a look

I agree .. talk to the police .. or/and the Dog Warden as they would know who to contact. Sad that it was not Reiver with the Warden (assume you did check with them tho), but worth following up any leads. Good luck with the continuing search.

Just so people have a clear idea what to look for here is a link to a pic of that type of landrover. http://www.carpages.co.uk/land_rover/land-rover-images/land_rover_defender_90_30_05_04.jpg RE was CK02 SKU (fairly sure of this as was stored on my phone within seconds of seeing it. Dark mud green colour. My colour vision isnt brilliant but it was a closeup look and im not often wrong when that close.

2012-02-22 17:21 truthseekers

Best description of land rover was very shiny paintwork (may be new, or maybe just cleaned). Deep dark green defender type. Boxy back was a bit extended. Glass windows all around. Black trim. I would say with a number plate (which has been confirmed now to me by DVLA doesnt exist) is driving around this area. So if someone sees this type of vehicle or that plate it would be very useful. I woudl say report this to the police and I will make a statement if needed.

2012-02-22 12:12 Milly Cumming

no news has come to us yet, and if this dog found has a flat coat, it's definitely not him as he is very broken coated. but, that's very interesting what you say about the boxy landrover, as the original sighting of Reiver was with a man who was manhandling him, in his 50s with very short hair. our local farmer also thinks he has seen this man in a brand new landrover defender on his land - before christmas, said the man made his skin crawl. both descriptions match up, but we never had a number plate before. does anyone know what you do if you have a number plate but no hard evidence. can we report to the police? i'm not sure, but it all seems to match up. any thoughts on what to do?? would be so amazing if it was him! thank you all. Milly

2012-02-20 23:44 truthseekers

Hope someone rings them with the new info. This is a long shot but I thought id mention. Saw some bloke man-handle a dog into Land Rover - drove past and saw when he drove alongside me I saw him bat the dog in the face. Thought he was an idiot but as they passed saw it was a dog looking exactly like Riever. I stored the number plate in phone - CK02 SKU. Dark green boxy style landrover. Probably just someones dog being treated badly but I couldnt live with myself if I didnt mention this. This was in Market Lavington btw.

2012-02-20 21:48 Clarkey - Area Co-ordinator, East Sussex

Hi Milly. Hv you had any new leads in your search for Reiver? I was hoping the dog 'found' below was your lad despite it saying smooth coat, but assume it wasn't as no new post from you. Don't give up .. he's out there somewhere and loads of people must know your are looking for him. Let's hope for some good news v soon.

2012-02-19 16:07 Clarkey - Area Co-ordinator, East Sussex

Well, if it is him they will hopefully know by his microchip .. roll on Monday morning. If not .. then the search goes on.

2012-02-19 08:37 DogLostBobble - Area Co-ordinator - Somerset & East Sussex

Oh Fingers crossed lets hope its him and not another lost or dumped doggie.

Hi I'm a behaviourist for GRWE and will flag this up to the lady who organises collections x

2012-02-17 20:05 DogLostBobble - Area Co-ordinator - Somerset & East Sussex

I went into Tesco Blandford today and GRWE (Greyhound Rescue) were there fundraising, they also help out with Lurcher's. They are there again Saturday, if anyone can get down there to chat to the volunteers and maybe see if they would mind handing out some leaflets about Reiver. If I'd realised they were there I would have taken some today. I think it is close enough to be useful.

2012-02-13 18:47 Mollychops

Tisbury is SP3 which was included in the original alerts. Hopefully this bumping will bring some good news

2012-02-13 18:43 Mollychops

Thanks Bobble and Clarkey x. I will make sure thr Tisbury helpers are included in the email alerts just need to check the post code . Give my regards to your mum Milly, Im sorry her mum is poorly x I will catch up soon Im sure, Ive tried a couple of times , but this is obviously a very hard time for her x

2012-02-13 18:34 DogLostBobble - Area Co-ordinator - Somerset & East Sussex

I've a colleague who lives near there, I will email him and remind him about Reiver and ask him to look out whilst walking his dog.

2012-02-13 17:15 Clarkey - Area Co-ordinator, East Sussex

You are doing well .. keep it up and I hope the new information leads to something positive. Sorry I am not closer to help look! Keep putting the posters up .. perhaps put that you will take them down when Reiver is found, then they may not get taken down. And perhaps ring the dog warden with this new info..and vets etc. Good luck.

2012-02-13 14:01 Milly Cumming

sadly no luck on the run over the weekend, but i also noticed lack of posters. however, just to throw something new into the mix, we received a call on sunday saying that someone in tisbury had seen him! obviously this is a fair way from where we have been focusing, but not a million miles by any stretch of the imagination. a dog matching Reiver's description was seen being walked with a collie - does anyone live near tisbury who might be able to look around there? mum heading over that way later this week but unfortunately tied up with her unwell mother elsewhere right now. can anyone help? thank you!

2012-02-12 18:25 DogLostBobble - Area Co-ordinator - Somerset & East Sussex

Great idea re the postering - was out in the area the other day and surprised by lack of them, so definately a job thats needed! I didn't take any with me, or would have stuck some up. Milly you seem to have the right idea, he's got to be kept at the forefront of peoples minds and refreshing and replacing posters is one great way of doing that. Well done, so glad YOU are not giving up.

2012-02-11 21:31 Clarkey - Area Co-ordinator, East Sussex

Good luck with the run..take lots of posters wuh you!

2012-02-10 10:36 Milly Cumming

please don't give up on Reiver, anyone in the area between Upton Lovell and Salisbury please continue to keep your eyes peeled for him. He's likely being kept under wraps, but the moment he manages to show his face to anyone, we need him to be fresh in their minds. If anyone were heading for a walk and could put up fresh posters, that would be fantastic. Owners going for a run through the valley this weekend to see if we can spot him. thank you all! Milly

Interesting. If you google the river area, there are not actually that many individual cottages along the river other than in the village areas..maybe you could get in touch with the riding stables, rambling clubs and any dog training clubs in those areas to get the word out. Riders cover many more miles than walkers .. also any fishing clubs etc. I don't know how big the river is, but how about river boats, canoeists etc?? How about advertising in the Friday Ad ..huge coverage in lots of areas and free too! Good luck!

We have a very tenuoous bit of information that he might be in a river cottage somewhere between upton Lovell and Salisbury, so that could be anywhere really, but maybe Wylyle, Steeple Langford or any of the Langfords, Wishford, Chilhampton, Quidhampton, Wilton or Bemerton etc. etc. lots of places really, and i'm not a huge expert on the area. but if anyone lives around there and has access to the river, it is definitely worth us investigating this lead. the information comes from an animal communicator, so can i stress that it is not known fact, but we have to chase every lead we can. he may be with a woman who doesn't know he is missing, so may be reluctant to give him up. hopefully poster going into salisbury journal on thurs. a thousand thanks to you all! milly

Thanks Clarkey X

thank you Clarkey. we will keep ringing around the rescue homes, vets, kennels and stables etc. hopefully they will all keep him fresh in their minds. we have given the posters to the post depot in salisbury, the hospital there and the milkmen - hopefully someone will see him soon. aiming to get him on local tv if we can. please don't give up. thank you all!

2012-01-24 16:56 Clarkey - Area Co-ordinator, East Sussex

Sorry to see no fresh news on Reiver. I know you will not give up and it may sound silly, but contact all the local rescue homes, vets, kennels, stables, Dog Warden again, again and again to keep Reiver fresh in their memory. Also .. have you given posters to postmen, taxi drivers, milkmen etc?? They cover a lot of ground and it may help. Keep at it.. keeping everything crossed for you.

Thanks Sandie Xx owners you are doing a fantastic job x

2012-01-23 15:15 Milly Cumming

whole family went flyering and searching around salisbury on saturday. no luck, sadly, though lots of people have seen the posters. unfortunately, it appears there is a similar looking dog who lives locally, so one sighting may not have been Reiver, but we are still following leads he may still be in that area. convinced he will come home soon. thank you all. milly

thanks Spindle xx great work going on here, lets hope tomorrow brings good news

2012-01-17 22:31 Spindle

Great news about this sighting. Salisbury Dog Warden is already aware about Reiver missing. Hope he comes out tomorrow and is somewhere warm tonight.

2012-01-17 22:24 Milly Cumming

Got a phone call at 4.30 pm today 17 Jan from a lady in Salisbury who had just seen Reiver going along the Townpath from Salisbury centre towards the Mill Pub and Restaurant in Harnham. He sniffed her and trotted on, then she saw the poster that a friend had put up in the water meadows and rang the owner who drove over aqap ( as quick as possible) and whistled but no luck. Will go back tomorrow and whistle there, also round the back of Harnham by the chalk pits. Have got in touch with the gamekeeper of the Longford estate – James Morgan – and he is going to circulate the poster amoungst all the estate workers, and tell the keeper of the next door estate too.

2012-01-17 22:21 Mollychops

Ive hust spoken to owner. The area Reiver has been sighted in is in the Water meadow area between Salisbury and Harnham. There is a fenced walkway here and thats where a girl saw him earlier, and told the local shop where a poster was. Owners are doing brilliant , the posters are really doing their stuff !! Sadly she is having problems contacting the Salisbiury DW , who is not returning calls. Owner is going out at first light to have a look around , and with her whistle , Im soo hoping he will come out from wherever he is. Luckily owner has a friend in this exact area who is around to keep an eye out, I m going to email scenting and plotting advice now Stay safe lovely Reiver till your owners find you XX

2012-01-17 21:36 Mollychops

Definate sighting of Reiver 4.30 tonight in Slaisburywil call owners and update

2012-01-16 19:23 Mollychops

Daisy please can you ring me . Jayne at head office will give you my number x

2012-01-16 17:04 Milly Cumming

hi all - again, thank you for everything you are doing.
as additional info, we have spoken to a communicator, who seems to think he is with a family - however, i stress that this is NOT known fact and only something to consider. We definitely want to keep up the search in the local areas, but just consider that he might be seen with a family - who probably don't know he's missing.
thank you all again, your help is so touching.
Milly

Sorry to hear the Reiver is missing, I have printed poster and will put up in vets in Durrington, Amesbury and email one to the vets in Salisbury including the emergency 24 hour vet. They have had a couple of lurchers there that they said they had bought but turned out to be stolen, I found them to be very helpful though.

We had our lurcher stolen in Salisbury area and she was found by the gypsy Liaison officer for Salisbury area who works at Wilton. The local Police can give you her name. I also have a rather long email of everything else we did to try and recover her. I will send it to the admin email address and would be grateful if you could forward it to the Cummings for me. Thanks.
ps I will do posters in the 'Chalke Valley'.

Ive bumped due to sightings . Owners are doing fantastically , postering these areas and contacting as many peopleas they can . Come home Reiver x

2012-01-15 14:33 Milly Cumming

Hi all, one of Reiver's family here - thank you so much for everything you are doing, we are so grateful! Latest updates:
Sunday 8 Jan 10 am – Seen near Codford Halt appearing to be heading home. Never arrived.

Wednesday 11 Jan at midday at Knook being man-handled by a man near the A36. When asked, the man said the dog was his and had run off, hence he was holding it by a collar.

Friday 13 Jan at about 9 am, a claimed sighting in the area of Kingston Deverill of a man roughly handling a dog and seeming awkward about it.

Friday 13 Jan at about 11am, a woman saw a man, similar in description to the man at Knook (see above 11 Jan), on a bus going from Warminster to Salisbury. He had a dog like Reiver. As people waited for the bus, one old lady tried to stroke the dog which was then yanked away by the man. He got off the bus at the Salisbury bus depot. He is about 5ft 10 ins with v short fair hair with bits of grey in it, about 50+ with a large brand new army camouflage back pack.

Saturday 14 Jan, at midday a woman saw a very wet dog, looking lost but heading towards town, on the water meadows near Salisbury, specifically at the Old Mill pub and restaurant.

Long shot but worth checking ..several lurchers on found page .. 36245 Registered 14 Jan.. 6 LURCHERS

2012-01-12 21:10 Mollychops

Im bumping up due to a possible sighting yesterday. A man was seen leading this dog possibly, off his collar a mile away from owners house towards a village called Knook. Owners have postered the area and have asked a friend there to keep an eye out. They are not getting very far with Railtrack and Ive suggested they must be firm and keep on at them . The railway by the house is a main line from Warminster to Salisbury and both stations must be alerted.

2012-01-12 09:00 Wiltshirewalker

sorry to hear about your missing dog, have posted on twitter and printed off a poster

Have amended details to show village where missing

2012-01-10 08:05 Mollychops

Reiver is a dog who usuually stays close. They were gone 4 hours when the mother returned. Owners have started postering locally, contacted the local hunt who have alerted all farnmers and keepers in the area. There is a railway 100 yds from house, and owners have been a distance both ways on the track. Ive suggested they contact railtrack, Ive eailed advice sheets,and a link to the poster. Ive suggested they geta a piece in the local paper. Luckily this lovely boy is chipped

2012-01-10 07:45 Mollychops

i will contact owners
