2012-03-02 17:05 DogLostKimmybear - Area Co-ordinator, Essex & Hertfordshire borders

Oh, I've just seen your posts.............. thanks guys! Got me crying again now. xxx

2012-03-02 16:58 DogLostKimmybear - Area Co-ordinator, Essex & Hertfordshire borders

Thank you Pamielou for helping to get Harry back home! x

2012-03-02 09:24 pamielou

hello all harry fans , it was my dads pub that he wandered into while i was on shift, so pleased he is home now he was a deliteful chap :) x

2012-03-01 20:24 Jane

This has made my day :) I am so happy Harry is back, this experience must have been so distressing for his owners, but I am just so glad that it has turned out ok. Hope you don't mind me saying this but my friend's dog Bonnie was stolen in September and we would dearly love to see her in the blue. She is dog no 32839. Can everyone have a look and keep an eye out and fingers crossed she can be back home just like Harry. Good luck and give Harry big hugs x

2012-03-01 20:03 Unknown

BRILLIANT; Am thrilled that Harry is back with his family. Macca. I`m sure Harry will settle down very soon with lots of tlc and love and affection from his rightful owners. Sending hugs and kisses to Harryxxxxxxxxx. Also kind regards to Harry`s family.

2012-03-01 20:02 muns

Wonderful Just wonderful!

2012-03-01 17:18 Neighbark

I too just had to come and have another look at this page! Trust Kimmybear to make me cry again - she always knows how to press my 'emotion buttons'..... Never give up, keep working owners, Oh Kimmybear - you have inspired so many, and I hope you bask in this wonderful happy ending!
Any stolen dog is an outrageous and indecent act, but every now and then - there's an incident that seems to enrage people and get right under their skin, to the extent that there's an amazing wave or surge of outgrage and support.
HOW DARE these destructive vile low-lifes take our best friends from us. I have to try and believe that 'what comes round...goes round' but would still resort to finding out these evil swines - and castrating THEM - using jagged bricks and without anaesthetic. Being so involved with this wonderful site has shown me the very worst, yet the very best of man/womankind. Well done all you Doglost doggie angels. xxx AND WELCOME HOME HARRY XXXXX

2012-03-01 17:04 DogLostJayne - Founder Doglost.

Looks as though Harry is going to be in the Sun newspaper tomorrow. I will be on Radio Essex tomorrow at 7.30 am about Harry and dogtheft in Essex...owner would like to say a huge thanks to our local co-ordinator Kimmy bear for all the support and help offered.

2012-03-01 15:19 lesleyjane

Love a happy ending. me.......hugs to Harry, well done to everyone for making him so high profile which I am sure was the key here. As someone suggested, does pub have cctv which may contain info??

2012-03-01 14:03 mallyboo

Fantastic news, I am so pleased and relieved for Harry and his Family. Well done everyone involved, everyone on Dogs Lost are absolutely brilliant.

2012-03-01 13:40 DogLostKimmybear - Area Co-ordinator, Essex & Hertfordshire borders

I'm in work now, but had to have another sneaky look at Harry's page. I am so delighted this is such a happy ending! I wonder if he was dumped and someone found him and decided to keep him, then when realised, gave him up? Or did thieves pass him on to someone and the new person realised where Harry had come from and panicked? I doubt thieves would have washed him? Poor little mite, he must be quite stressed out. Safe and happy and home now, although he may not want to be left alone now for a while, Macca. He may have "issues" with that (I would!). Bless him. Our dogs have amazing stories to tell. Welcome home you sweet baby! x

2012-03-01 11:54 Jackie

Absolutely bloody fantastic .... so so happy for Harry and his family, they will sleep better now he's home again...hope he gets over his scare and soon settles back into his normal routine...so so pleased for them don't know how I would cope if I lost my little westie Jock xxx

2012-03-01 11:40 BaileyP

I was so happy when I heard the amazing news from the owners last night. Best news possible. They have worked so hard to get Harry home and I'm sure that he was made too hot to handle. I'm a teacher at a school they emailed and all the children cheered when they heard he was home. I think every schoolchild in the area knew he was missing. Brilliant! I shall take my posters down later. I put up a couple locally this morning to say that he'd been found. Stay safe little Harry!xxx

2012-03-01 11:33 Clarkey - Area Co-ordinator, East Sussex

Fantastic news..so glad Harry is home.

2012-03-01 10:15 DogLostJayne - Founder Doglost.

Great news....well done everyone...

2012-03-01 08:43 DogLostKimmybear - Area Co-ordinator, Essex & Hertfordshire borders

I am so overwhelmed with this fantastic news! Thanks for the texts, owner and Angus. This was down to owner's perseverance and hard work along with a number of really fantastic helpers. Owners, I told you miracles happen on this site and Harry is now one of them! Well done! I am over the moon! Let's have a reunited photo of Harry with his family. God bless you all. x

2012-03-01 05:06 sam66

Great, so happy for you!! Welcome home Harry!

2012-03-01 01:36 Neighbark

What an amazing effort - well done team Doglost! I'M SO HAPPY HE'S BACK HOME !!! Y A Y HIP HIP H U R R A Y !!!

2012-02-29 23:37 milo

just an after thought. the pub Harry walked into, does it have cctv out side at all, as he might have been let out of a car etc, close to the pub so that who ever was with him last knew he would be found if he walked into a pub!!just a thought.

2012-02-29 23:30 Lankeela

Brilliant news. Told you to poster pubs!

2012-02-29 23:24 milo

makes you wonder who had washed him etc?!! you can now concentrate on the lowlifes who caused all this to start with. so pleased for you.

2012-02-29 23:18 macca

Can I thank everyone for all there help and hardwork, we could not have done this without you. I did not realise there were some many kind hearted people out there.

2012-02-29 22:58 SanBarn

Brilliant news, stay safe Harry.x
so pleased for owners, well done to the helpers too.

2012-02-29 22:12 Lynn

Waiting eagerly for an update ,!!...... far too many dogs are getting stolen , we must be very vigilant, and NOT let the thieves get away with it , so hope that this has a happy ending! x

2012-02-29 22:11 macca

We have found Harry !!!!! He walked into a pub in Barley (near Royston) 9 miles from our house. Someone has washed him and he had a flea collar on ?
He was happy to see me, but very tired and a bit nervous, but otherwise all ok.

2012-02-29 21:30 sam66

Yes I am in Brent Pelham! Very close! I am so relieved, it is obviously great news, can't wait to read!! I am always here to help along with all the kind, generous people on this website, isn't it great?? x

2012-02-29 21:22 BaileyP

The Harlow westie is NOT Harry - there's a big clue. Sam66 you must live quite near me at Little Hormead. You are an amazing helper - if any of my dogs ever go missing I hope that you are around to help find them!!! x

2012-02-29 21:19 sam66

Excited, just seen BaileyP's message when I posted mine!!...........

2012-02-29 21:18 sam66

Tonight visited Katherines, there are lots of posters there, great, but put more up anyway! Also around Sumners, Roydon, Nazeing, Hunsdon, Hadams & Albury on way home. The Katherines Estate was so busy around 530-6pm, there are shops, kids walking home from school, dog walkers etc. I am glad that Hils has actually pin pointed an area because anyone that knows Harlow knows it's a maze!!! I think if anyone else phones in a sighting, it is paramount to get a location and time, then we can see if a pattern develops. There are plenty of posters up now so if somebody has him, word will surely get around. Hope he is home soon.

2012-02-29 21:12 BaileyP

I have just heard some WONDERFUL news but will leave it to macca to tell you more......................

2012-02-29 20:05 DogLostJayne - Founder Doglost.

Please email our wonderful ploice liason officers with this info...email admin@doglost.co.uk....and we will pass on...tx

2012-02-29 19:59 milo

just to add that our dog was taken whilst out for walk last a while back, and he was found near traveller sight an hour after we recieved a call from an irish accent asking for money. some how our dog managed to escape and we found him so these things happen. It really is worth pushing police to enter the site. and please do keep your hopes up as on another occasion dog lost helped us find our dog

2012-02-29 19:49 milo

Hi, surely the fact there been a possible sighting of HARRY is evidence enough for the police to investigate with a micro chip device with them? If Harry is there at the travellers sight, they would prob have him tied up in there if he is there.so would not be able to run away again. I would really try and push the police to go in there. Will keep looking on my travels.

2012-02-29 19:40 HILS

HI...MYSELF AND ANOTHER LADY TRIED FOR 20 MINUTES TO CATCH A LITTLE WESTIE LAST FRIDAY MORNING AT ABOUT 4.30-5AM.HE WAS RUNNING UP AND DOWN THIRD AVENUE NEAR TO THE ENTRANCE OF SMITHKLINE BEECHAM AND THE TRAVELLERS SITE.(BACKING ONTO KATHERINES ESTATE)HE EVENTUALLY DISAPPEARED TOWARDS THE ENTRANCE TO THE TRAVELLERS SITE THEN RAN DOWN FLEX MEADOW TOWARDS TESCO DISTRIBUTION CENTRE.
DON'T WANT TO GET YOUR HOPES UP TOO MUCH BUT HE HAD A CURLY TAIL.
WE ASSUMED HE WAS A DOG FROM THE TRAVELLERS SITE AS THEY ARE OFTEN RUNNING UP AND DOWN THAT ROAD.I WILL KEEP AN EYE OUT AS I LIVE IN SUMNERS NEARBY.

I THINK TOMORROW I AM DRIVING THE 331 BUS THROUGH BRAUGHING ETC SO I SHALL PUT ONE UP ON THERE.....XXX

2012-02-29 18:58 DogLostKimmybear - Area Co-ordinator, Essex & Hertfordshire borders

Yes, police OR dog warden can check Harlow's traveller sites. Official Council ones are easier to access. However, they need some evidence to warrant a visit. A number of dogs have been retrieved from this site in the past. But, I would suggest owner contacts Harlow council dog warden again re the sightings in Katherines. I also feel the police may need nudging again. I do know owner is doing absolutely EVERYTHING to find his dog. We need to find out who this little stray westie is at Katherines. If travellers had him, they could have let him go. If it isn't him, this one obviously needs help too, could be another missing dog escaped from there. But Kenna you are correct - site and Glaxo, thank you! Have informed owners.

2012-02-29 14:31 milo

hi,i will keep a look out as i live near to katherines area, will also keep eye out on travels around in the car. if harry is chipped cant police check traveller sights? dont know if that possible.

2012-02-29 12:40 Kenna

That's not too far from the gypsy caravan site, Oh know 2 days ago :( was both sightings the same day? Have the owners contacted Glaxo smith kline? as that is next to church end.

Last edited: 2012-02-29 12:51:35 by Kenna

Church End on the estate but it was 2 days ago! there are alot of fields backing onto the estate. Thanks Kenna

2012-02-29 12:16 Kenna

Where abouts on the st katherines estate? near houses or field etc... and what time where the sightings? I will take my dogs over there they will spot him if he is still there.

2012-02-29 10:33 DogLostJayne - Founder Doglost.

Local helpers alerted.

2012-02-29 09:20 macca

2nd sighting of a westie dog running loose and in distress in Harlow, St Katherines Estate. A dog walker tried to grab the dog but it escaped.

2012-02-28 19:14 DogLostKimmybear - Area Co-ordinator, Essex & Hertfordshire borders

Sam66, bless u! x

2012-02-28 19:13 DogLostKimmybear - Area Co-ordinator, Essex & Hertfordshire borders

Please can ALERTS go out to CM17, CM18, CM19 and CM20 for HARLOW helpers. Please search/poster Katherines area. Thank you. x

2012-02-28 18:05 Emma

Have train stations been postered? I wish I could help. I'll keep my fingers crossed for the little dude. xxx

2012-02-28 17:34 sam66

Hi I have just returned from postering Ware, Thundridge, Wadesmill and Hertford. I put up 2 posters bang outside the permanent traveller site at the Brookfield Centre Cheshunt (being scrutinised as I left!!). House burglaries are relatively rare around here, we tend to have outbuilding break-ins. Not sure if owners aware that there was another house burglary in Braughing about a month ago. The general consensus was that it was a local. Landlord in Axe & Compass may be worth speaking to if you haven't already, I know the police went in to ask questions, fingers crossed!!

2012-02-28 17:17 DogLostKimmybear - Area Co-ordinator, Essex & Hertfordshire borders

Sam66, please could you go east from Braughing, along the roads if poss. Many thanks. Harlow helpers will do the Katherines area. x

2012-02-28 15:31 macca

a westie looking stray was spotted in Harlow last night, the St Katherines estate. Can any helper please look there and poster up please?

2012-02-28 15:18 macca

Hi Sam66, the dog was stolen 8 miles north of ware (Braughing, next to Puckeridge) but that still would be a good place to search. Thanks

2012-02-28 14:23 sam66

Hi Kimmybear, is it the Ware vicinity that we need to focus on? Was there a lead to that area? I have a spare couple of hours now and can take a drive around, where is the best place for me to be??!!

2012-02-28 01:10 DogLostKimmybear - Area Co-ordinator, Essex & Hertfordshire borders

If you have received an alert, we need you! If you live around 6 miles of this area, we need you! There is a possibility that Harry was abandoned along the route, as does happen sometimes. PLEASE would everyone drive, walk, jog along the roads in these areas to look for him. Check all along the roadways & lanes especially where there is a layby or car park where a vehicle could have pulled over. Also remember any any discarded rubbish could be from burglars too. Maybe a discarded collar? Nothing is certain but we need to cover this angle now. If anyone has CCTV along the main routes out of the Ware area, can they be checked? If so, please contact owner. PLEASE HELP HARRY. Thank you. x

1 week now since Harry was stolen and still not a single sighting or lead to go on! We are still searching!

2012-02-27 08:48 macca

2012-02-27 08:45 macca

Thankyou we are checking now.

2012-02-26 20:31 KathyW

This little chap has been found in Tamworth. No microchip found but they can not always show up. He is with Dunroamin Rescue now.

Hi All, we do finally have a lead and the police are working on it. I think we are getting somewhere now. fingers crossed.

2012-02-26 16:10 hamish&katy

fingers crossed Harry is home soon x x

2012-02-26 15:46 DogLostKimmybear - Area Co-ordinator, Essex & Hertfordshire borders

Owner has just reported that they have a lead! Its sort of a sighting - Harry was definitely stolen. Please everyone look out for Harry, wherever you live. From the information, I would suspect police are on the move. Well done! x

2012-02-26 14:48 Rubster

Sorr your boy is missing :( Do you have a facebook page set up for him? This is a sperfast way to get him out there.

2012-02-26 12:29 SanBarn

Breaking in to someones home and stealing what does not belong to them is bad enough, but to steal a treasured family pet is the lowest act of all. Whoever took Harry is lower than low and I hope the police are working hard to find this scumbag. Hurry home Harry xx

2012-02-25 20:35 macca

lostyourpet westie was a female dog. But thanks anyway I have now registered Harry missing on that site.x

2012-02-25 20:26 DogLostKimmybear - Area Co-ordinator, Essex & Hertfordshire borders

Thank you Glynafon and Riverlady. I have notified owners. Wouldn't it be nice if this was Harry and he'd been let out and will get home? You just never know where a dog will end up. x

2012-02-25 19:15 Jane

It is bad enough being burgled but to take one's pet is reprehensible. I hope whoever took him finds it in their heart to bring him back home to you. Have you checked Gumtree and other classified sites and put his details on there? Good luck and hope little Harry is back home soon with his family x

2012-02-25 15:56 DogLostGlynafon

Report of a westie being picked up on the Lazenby bypass which seems to be in Middlesborough area (A174). No further info available

2012-02-25 12:19 Unknown

Sorry to see that Harry has been stolen. Hopefully in view of the publicity, he will be reunited very soon. All xd for a positive result.

2012-02-25 11:36 jacqueline

have posted on all my facebook walls and pages and groups, also on twitter page. lets hope this little guy gets back to his forever home and soon.

2012-02-25 10:06 Lankeela

Details shared on fb and easterndogscene. Will send to my sister who used to live in Braughing. Make him too hot to handle. Poster pubs and chip shops.

2012-02-25 09:17 DogLostRiverlady

Have put Harry on twitter + will circulate.

2012-02-24 22:26 DogLostKimmybear - Area Co-ordinator, Essex & Hertfordshire borders

Excellent helpers out there! Thank you. BaileyP thank you for that - I will bump Harry up now. Well done owners for getting Harry in the paper! Keep going, you can do it! x

2012-02-24 19:33 Chi

I've Tweeted this a couple of times and asked one of the DJs (Andrew Collins) on 6 music to retweet which he kindly did to get out to more people. I'll put some posters up where I live - there are already a couple on my route home - I'll put them in bus shelters and in the local park too. I really hope you get him back.

2012-02-24 14:48 macca

any more tips ?

2012-02-24 07:57 macca

Thanks for all the advice, we have now put posters in every door in our village, postered every village and town within 20 miles radius. No news yet,friends who know travellers have been calling and looking for us. Any help in putting posters up is much appreciated. We will continue postering.

2012-02-23 17:24 BaileyP

Just had the reporter from the local paper that I recommended to owner on the phone for another reason and he told me about this:

http://www.hertfordshiremercury.co.uk/Hertfordshire/Braughing-family-heartbroken-after-dog-stolen-23022012.htm

Harry will be in the paper next Thursday but in the meantime is in the online version for today.

2012-02-23 16:22 Unknown

Sorry to see Harry has been stolen, but at least he is microchipped. You are so right Kimmybear to ask the owners to make a nuisance of themselves. And yes this is a crime; it`s theft. All xd for his safe return

2012-02-23 13:13 DogLostKimmybear - Area Co-ordinator, Essex & Hertfordshire borders

Harry's owners, you need to keep pestering the police to find Harry. They must treat his disappearance as a CRIME. Do not take no for an answer! BailyP well done, thank you. Owners you must speak to the dog warden and traveller liaison officers - speak to the council for both of these. This is a high possibility - no time to waste. Get him in the papers, on the radio as BaileyP said, go everywhere. As Harry was stolen in a burglary this will make news for the local papers so they will run it. Go national if you can. Try anything. You need to work really hard and the police need to help you. Put hundreds and hundreds of posters up. Make him too hot to handle. Other dogs have got back home when owner has made it their mission and you can do it too! Miracles happen on here. Go for it! Lets get Harry home. x

2012-02-23 09:00 macca

Hi, yes he is chipped, I have amended the details. Still no leads and no further on than before.

2012-02-22 22:57 BaileyP

Is Harry chipped - poster says he is and so does one place on his page but further up it says that he isn't.
Have sent email to Simon Lederman on 3CR with Harry's poster and asked him to do an appea for him. Fingers crossed that he can do it.

2012-02-22 22:28 BaileyP

Have texted owner and suggested a contact at the local paper which covers all areas down to North London. Also contacting Traveller Liason Officer for Herts. A few traveller sites not too far away from here. I have a contact at 3 Counties radio and am going to ask if he can do a mention for Harry on the Breakfast Show. Covers Herts, Beds and Bucks.

2012-02-22 19:30 macca

Hi Everyone, still no luck in finding Harry. Not one person has seen him so we believe he was stolen. We have absolutely nothing to go on.
My little boy keeps kissing Harry's photo, which is so upsetting. Thanks for all your support so far. We will keep on searching

2012-02-21 20:49 suziewoo

Posted to FB and Twitter will cover Barley, Buntingford and Royston. Will poster SG8

2012-02-21 20:36 DogLostKimmybear - Area Co-ordinator, Essex & Hertfordshire borders

First of all, do not believe that your dog has not been stolen. We hope not, but as said below, it has happened more than once. You need to assume it is very possible. I am emailing you info and advice, please do everything it states. You need to make Harry so famnous the world knows he's missing and you need to make the police believe this is the case because they need to investigate this crime on both counts! We need to make all vets, all dog wardens, within at least 30 mile radius aware. Facebook Harry like mad! All helpers on board for this one please, thank you!x

2012-02-21 14:03 BaileyP

Just phoned owner who is out looking for Harry. He has knocked on all doors in his village, postered shops etc and no sign of Harry yet. I live in Little Hormead (about 3 miles away) so will go out looking now and put posters around area as well. Owner worried as Harry never goes far even if the door is left open accidentally. I really hope that he hasn't been taken. :((

2012-02-21 13:44 sam66

Have put on my FB (Brent Pelham area) Owners, where do you usually walk with Harry locally? My collie found missing ridgeback last week in our area. I can try for Harry if you point me in the right direction! Fingers crossed, Sam.

2012-02-21 11:14 mallyboo
