TIA and owner SAM were celebrities at CRUFTS today to do some photo/s shoots and an interview for PETLOG. :)

It was great to meet TIA she is gorgeous and such a little lady, so well behaved. She was a bit bewildered when the photographer asked for Sam to put her inside her STOLEN T-shirt. (PHOTO uploaded into the Extra Image box you may need to refresh the page).

Thanks SAM and TIA for also having your photo taken with DogLost and Vets Get Scanning.

TIA getting home was such a brilliant result and made so many people happy.

The search goes on for STOLEN MAISIE ID 46846 and her posters were handed out a CRUFTS over the four days the show was on. Fingers crossed she is found and we see her back home with TIA and SAM. x

Really pleased to see she is back, I just did a google search on the word dog and the village where that farm is, It is amazing the huge number of dog theft incidents it throws up. Hopefully you will get Maisie back soon and maybe those other dogs found at the same time Tia was, will turn up here in the blue to make their owners just as happy.

I have facebooked her and asking all my friends in the London area to look out for her and Maisie, hopewe are lucky and find them soon for you.
I found a spaniel today called Hudson and he was reunited with his owner , the odd thing is I have had no call from them and i know they have my phone number from the vets where I took him as I found him roaming near a country road luckily he was micro-chipped at least he will be happy now as he looked so sad when I found him he was really muddy and cold so I bathed him and fed him and took him to the nearest vet in Saxmundham Suffolk and they checked him to see if he was micro-chipped

We are being mentioned in pet theft awareness week this current week due to our media coverage. Is this enough to get my girls bumped up?

It was great to spend time with Sam today at CRUFTS who did fantastic talking while being filmed with owners of LOUIE (Yorkie ID43360) and RAGS (Terrier Cross ID3420). You are all doing a great job in your search and truly deserve to get your loved ones home. Good luck. x

This really is a long shot, but this afternoon I followed a chocolate cocker in some woodland off the A64 near the red bus cafe NE of Leeds. I'm afraid I can provide very little information as I couldn't get close enough to see much detail, though it was definitely docked. The dog didn't seem scared of me but had its nose down and was not interested in coming to me. I eventually lost it as the woodland got more dense. I later bumped into some guys from the Dog's Trust (which is close by) looking for the same dog. They had received a phone call from someone who had seen it running down the A64, so maybe they can give you more information. Most likely it was a local working dog as there are plenty around this area. It was definitely alone though.

Re-gumtree ...sometimes people will put that because they don't know the dogs name, this is a trick regularly used by dog nappers...
ESSJ - Area Co-ordinator Rutland
The sighted dog in Basingstoke was not Tia, Sam has spoken at length now to the lady who sighted the dog and it is now believed that this dog is an English Springer Spaniel. She has also seen the advert for the dog below and says that sadly this dog isn't Tia either. Thanks for the link Jojo x
BBKM
I have just had a look at gumtree ad, very similar dog, they say the dog is very special because she is deaf.
Fingers crossed for Sam in Basingstoke. Praying these girls are home safe very very soon x
