Hi everyone I've just found this thread and can't believe it was 2012! I just wanted to say we have had no more incidents and Major and Dingle are both safe and well, although Major has gone a little grey now. Suziewoo thank you, I didn't see this last comment all those years ago. Bless all your hearts for helping our boy that awful week and for all you do for all the other missing dogs <3

2012-07-09 22:33 Suziewoo

Bless him! I bet he's relieved to be back home withn his loving family. I think we all look out for our own breed and having a large brindle boy greyhound in my own home, I felt especially anxious about poor Major. I'm so pleased this has had a happy ending. Take care Major,Dingle, Wendy & Tony x

2012-07-09 22:30 wendy

Thankyou for updating Majors photo, never seen a boy so happy to be home! Dings is also back to normal and eating again xx

Well done to team Major...Reynard..Molly chops and all the helpers...

2012-07-07 21:48 wendy

Hi everyone I am going to post a pic later when he is feeling better with Major and Dingle reunited. I have to smile at my past posts and the spelling mistakes! That was stress. I am going to do all I can to help with any dogs lost that I see in my area and take my hat off to all the volunteers and caring people who have made this possible today. We are so happy and I have never seen such a relieved and relaxed doggy albeit exhausted and sore, he has eaten two bowls of food spaced out and a big treat, he is now sleeping peacefully and we think he will need plenty of sleep. Can't believe how much weight he has lost since Tuesday! He will get a big juicy steak tomorrow :) Thankyou to absolutely everyone, you are all super special people xx

2012-07-07 19:53 Mollychops

2012-07-07 13:07 DogLostReynard

I have been around The Tawny Owl pub and sourounding countryside which is extensive this morning can seen how he would have got on the line from there have put up posters spoke to pub and dog walkers,,,,if he goes back there he will surly be sighted as lots of peeps about.It was lovely weather this morning so he may have had a wander but it has now turn wet & windy so would imagin he will take cover somewhere perhaps the/a pub?

2012-07-07 12:52 Ali T

Have also been out in this area as well - spoke to the husband of lady who saw him at 6 am this morning whom I know. He said he trotted back up track to B4553 but as to which way he went Purton or Cricklade is not known! There is a plant stall at the YFC hut on crossroads at Purton Stoke and have alerted them! Everything crossed he is found today!

2012-07-07 12:46 wendy

We have been out to the purton area and the bentham areas today then back to mouldon lakes, following the Packhorse Lane, and the B4553 road no sightings, looking at google maps he is following a straight line across the railway crossing back into Oakhurst and into Mouldon hill lakes, he may come back that way at the same time today, around 2.30 3 pm if everyone in that area can keep a look out please. The bentham turning near to the Bell pub Purton Stoke where he was seen yesterday at 11.30 approx so convinced he is an area surrounding these places and is going back and for between them probably trying to get back home. Knocked on a few doors in the area to alert people, eveyone seems to know!

2012-07-07 11:56 Louise625

Have just been sent your lovely chaps details. I'm near Devizes but have travellers across the road so will give them a poster and ask them to spread the word. Also do work for Greyhound Rescue so will spread the word to them too.

2012-07-07 09:38 Mollychops

Sounds like a fair few people off to this area today to help! Thanks

2012-07-07 08:14 chris

Thanks Reynard, I know how to get to the stadium so where is the area he was spotted last night, I've just managed to get hold of a satnav so what's the best post code to go for. Many thanks

2012-07-07 08:08 wendy

Chris can you send your number I will call you post it here if poss, I will be leaving in 10 minutes. You could text tonys mobile and then I call you x

2012-07-07 07:57 DogLostReynard

Chris not sure which way you are coming but if your going to the Stadium @ Blunsdon - M4 come off at junct 15 take the A419 Cirencester rd ,large dual carriageway over rounabout Blunsdon Stadium is up a bit on left before you get back on to the A419 Cirencester rd. Or jnct 16 great Western Way ,Haydon Wick ,Abbey Meads, Blunsdon.
To add: when you approach do not walk at him in a straight line take a zig zag approach,,,,,speak softly, he will be hungry & looking for someone or something familiar.

Owners about to update Chris.

2012-07-07 07:38 chris

I walked him at the kennels. I will be coming up from melksham, I don't know swindon very well, which is the best way to come to get to the right area please?

2012-07-07 07:19 Mollychops

Ive just spoken with L from the Stadium, who is going to tell people in this area that she knows. Also she will alert the people on the farm down the long drive off tadpole lane .

2012-07-07 06:52 Lilybear

Major has never raced, Chris have you known him at track? Wendy has a rope lead, Wendy you may want to pick up another more substantial one. They are quick to slip over head and secure.maybe difficult to faf with his collar and lead. Hopefully Dingle will draw him. He was so close to home, make you took the wrong turning.

Last edited: 2012-07-07 07:03:55 by Angus

2012-07-07 06:16 Mollychops

Thanks Lilybear, He looks like he is headedtowards the racing stadium. Chris,Thabks for your offer ofhelp im sure if you ring the owners they will have a plan for the area this morning. Ive texted owners for an update

At least we know beautiful major is ok, I use to walk him at the kennels and give him treats, I don't know swindon but I want to come up and search today, where's the best place to go please

2012-07-07 01:25 Lilybear

Checked Oakhurst then stood outside Asda North Orbital spreading word to night shoppers, store has a poster. Major where are you boy? Keep safe. Please could you poster your area of Swindon? On way home i gave poster to a taxi driver, a postman,night police patrol & a milklady. Then updated Swindon borough council out of hours. Thank you everyone.

Great news that he has been seen again. He will be more keen to be caught on an empty stomach. I really wish I was nearer & could help :-(
Please, please keep safe Major xx

2012-07-06 23:01 wendy

Time of sighting in oakhurst 10.57 approx (pm)

2012-07-06 23:00 wendy

Trail of gravy excellent idea, just cme back from taw hill lake and had another sighting just come in he was seen wandering along verge of thamesdown drive and then turned into oakhurst Friday street then disappeared anyone in the area if they could look out please just in case. We have taken pilchards over

2012-07-06 20:19 Mollychops

Thats a very good idea about the collar and gravy . My dogs go mad for gravy . Thanks Suziewoo x

2012-07-06 19:38 Suziewoo

I'm so hoping that he is caught quickly & safely! It may be worth having a slip lead as that would be the safest way of securing him. If his collar is not tight enough and he gets scared, he may pull out of his collar and run off which would be bad news. Hopefully he will be hungry enough to come out for food. A trail of gravy can also help draw a dog in the right direction. Everything crossed for Major & Wendy xxx

2012-07-06 19:22 Mollychops

Have sent owners the scenting adice and suggested a barbecue late tonight when all is quiet in the area, I know its not great conditions for one, but maybe if it cleaARS UP later it might be possible to draw him out with the smell of bacon and sausages frying , also putting down some smelly fish too. Ive also expalined that dogs that are missing for any time, specially as in Majors case, can very fast go feral. He might not recognise you as his owners. DONT CHASE HIM. That is so important. Drop down to ground level, call his name softly DONT MAKE EYE CONTACT , throw some ham or something yummy that he will like [you need to be armed with this in the first place]and draw him to you with the food. Be very quiet no sudden movements. Please if anyone has more to add to the advice on catching loose dogs feel free to post, as Its not something I do everyday really X

this is fantastic, Ive just got home and seen your post wendy .Sending scenting advice now

2012-07-06 17:25 wendy

Forgt to mention the lady said he was a large brindle with blue bone shaped tag this HAS to be major thankyou to everyne who is trying to help us find our boy xx

2012-07-06 17:23 wendy

Hi we have now had 3 more sightings of possibly Major within sight of home! One taw hill lake and tawny owl pub, lady convinced it was him by the lake so taken Dingle out on foot to try and find him.This would fit in with the sighting in purton stoke as it leads through eventualy to the lake where major is familar as we walk him there, please keep fingers crossed also someone said a boots van slowed down for him near the pub this suggests he is trying to get home

2012-07-06 15:56 Suziewoo

My heart jumped when I saw the word sighted! Everything crossed for this lovely lad's safe return. Has anyone put his details on the Hound Lounge? The greyhound community pull together in such times. I only wish I was nearer & could help search. Stay safe Major xx

2012-07-06 15:30 Ali T

Never mind! 'Possible' sighting is better than no sighting! Come on Major - get yourself sighted!!

2012-07-06 15:26 Lilybear

No sadly not. So at the moment an unconfirmed sighting of major. A chap was seen in a field with a lurcher type dog looked like major from a distance but the owner could not catch up with him. Sorry all, will ammend my earlier post to 'possible' sighting. Thank you all so much for your support.

2012-07-06 14:51 Ali T

had everything crossed that this was major ! Popped down myself to purton stoke but couldn't see him! :(

2012-07-06 14:30 Mollychops

Owner has just said they got over there and saw a very similar dog with an owner, so it may be a coincidence, we will have to wait and see

2012-07-06 13:44 DogLostReynard

This is wonderful news , will keep a look out for him.

2012-07-06 13:16 Lilybear

2012-07-06 11:09 Lilybear

Have e-mailed a DogLost poster to the local neighbourhood policing teams, Swindon, North Wilts who are very supportive, will report any sightings.

2012-07-06 10:59 Lilybear

E-mail of poster sent to Thamesdown Transport have asked they put up in staff rooms, canteen for drivers to keep a look out for Major.

2012-07-06 10:39 DogLostJayne - Founder Doglost.

Alerts sent out.

2012-07-06 09:27 Mollychops

Iv requested email alerts for more helpers to be aware, taking in GL 6, 7, 8 and SN16, thanks

2012-07-06 09:20 Mollychops

He may have done Ali T. As we havent had a single sighting, he could be anywhere, The stations really need contacting regularly, and drivers alerted as Ive put below. HugeThanks for yourhelp Ali T and lilybear x Ive suggested to owners they contact the sorting office in Malmesbury , all the posties need to see the poster. I will do the Cirencester one, which will take in Kemble area etc.

2012-07-06 08:40 Ali T

Have been putting a few posters around Purton area. Could he have made his way back towards Purton/Swindon on the track?

2012-07-06 08:07 wendy

please note husband didnt see him leave the track, he just crossed over then back again he may have been looking for an escape route.

2012-07-06 08:06 wendy

Wonderful article in local paper. We have realised that somerford keynes area another possibility as this is the other side of the track, Major was seen crossing over then crossing back again by my husband before disappearing. There are fences all along until you reach the Minety area where there are places he could have gone either side of the track nearer Minety. It is surrounded by fields both sides. I am contacting as many vets as possible in the area this morning

2012-07-06 06:02 Mollychops

great article!!!

bumped to coverage in the local paper. Come on Major get yourself seen . 1 sighting would be fantaastic, your owners are worried sick !!!

2012-07-05 22:13 Lilybear

Will circulate poster to Thamesdown Transport first thing. Will contact local dairies to ask the early morning milkman to keep an eye out for Major.

Great work Reynard Ive alerted the landowner from Kemble through to Sapperton . I will get our Stroud coord Flaggbag to alert Stroud station.xx These stations need contacting very regularly, maybe a poster in the Swindon drivers restroom and Gloucester, as they will be coming throug hwith different drivers though

2012-07-05 21:40 DogLostReynard

Have been out to Minety again today and then Oaksey, Somerford Keynes , Kemble have been looking in quite places near to Railway lines such as Churches, which is a good place for a dog to hole up, there is also vast open countryside out there very near the line I crossed the line many times ,so good idea Mollychops. Marjor will be in the press soon so hope this will bring in some sightings

Hey Wendy, someone just said something to me which may makesense, what if he carried on down the track to Stroud , which is the next station .I think we should alert people all the way through Cirencester park and out through Sapperton which im happy to do for you xx

2012-07-05 19:10 wendy

Thankyou so much to everyone who is helping us to find our boy! no more news of him so far :(

2012-07-05 15:48 DogLostReynard

No more sightings have been concentrating foot search in Minety area as is Wendy Majors owner. Will now follow route to Tetbury please keep a look out in Swindon area as he may come back this way.

2012-07-05 14:06 Lilybear

I made contact with Swindon Borough Council and Wiltshire County Council dog warden departments to enquire if any update. Sadly no news at this time.

2012-07-04 14:54 ML

Really hope your lovely boy stays away from that railway and is back home with you soon. Get as many posters out as you can and hopefully those sightings will start to come in. Thinking of u xx

2012-07-04 14:31 wendy

Just to let everyone know where we searched today either side of railway bridge next to vale of white horse pub minety, but limited search as explained due to safety.

2012-07-04 13:04 wendy

have been with a police officer today up to minety crossing and went as far as possible to do safely down the side on paths by railway lines on both sides, impossible to see too far safely. There are engineers on the line leading to kemble so hopefuly one of them would have spotted him if he had been there, we had no sighting of Major sadly.

2012-07-04 10:58 Lilybear

POSSIBLE SIGHTING...unconfirmed at Minety Cuttings, observation point from railway bridge onto railway track is on the B4040, not far from the Vale of the White Horse Pub. Keep safe.

2012-07-04 09:36 Lilybear

I have spoken with the kennel that Major came from, they suggest that if he is sighted, if at all possible, open boot/door of car and it maybe he'll jump in. Thank you all for what your are doing for Wendy & Major.

2012-07-04 09:20 Mollychops

Wendy Iv contacted farmers in that area, and theBeaufort hunt.

hi no new sightings, last seen Minety by my husband n railway track then disappeared from view :( Not seen since that we know of, i am looking for him this morning

Very good news that there is a sighting so this would suggest Major is off the railway line but perhaps still in the area, may I suggest if sighted again you keep it all low key and quite he is scared boy and may not understand help is on hand. I have txt you this morning .

Thanks for confirmation, will poster my local area for them, the railway line goes through Shaw forest park which is very popular with dog walkers - will try and get some up that way too. Have local vets been contacted, dog wardens etc etc? Kemble is miles from Woodhall Park so this boy is travelling quickly!
Might be worth alerting train stations on the route.

Major is an ex racing greyhound and been with the new owners just two weeks he is a very nervous boy and ran off scared from his new home in Woodhall Park , Swindon.
