It's good when animal cruelty and theft gets broadcast on TV. Rav Wilding highlighted one too earlier in the week. Xx

2013-06-22 13:57 BBKM

Watched this in 'catch up' the other day, such a lovely happy ending. Tank's owner was such a lovely man and his dogs are his family :)

How fab is that, so pleased, it breaks your heart to read all the sad stories on here but more poignant when it is an elder statesman like Tank, my old boy is 16 and I couldn't imagine what it would be like losing him.

Well done all xxxxx

The owner has already been in touch with the Lincolnshire Echo and the Market Rasen local paper and they have been over to take reunited photo's of Tank. The Lincolnshire police have a neighbouhood watch site run by the PCSO's and they are always happy to circulate the details of stolen dogs.

I have to say good for the Lincs police putting out a press release: Most unusual. If the story appeared in the local press, could local co-ordinaor please give them a call for a follow-up.

2013-01-11 15:35 BBKM

What a relief... great news that Tank is now back home safe with his family. Hope he recovers fully from his ordeal, poor old lad was so far away from home xx
Hope the thieves are caught and punished.

2013-01-11 13:48 AnnieSparky

Its brilliant to see Tank is safely home with his owner and brother:)
Well done gsdjj and everyone involved is getting this lovely chap home x

2013-01-11 13:37 gsdjj

When I spoke to the owner this morning at 9 he said it was a bloke that found him, and he had seen it on Facebook. But Ive been posting and sharing various links on Facebook of this site, the news one and everybody else has been doing the same. It would be impossible to see just which thread of repostings they saw. WHat is so very important is that they were done. EVerybody played their part in this by sharing, posting, tweeting, telephoning, and all the other wonderful things that you all did. All because... we're animal lovers xx Thank you all!

So how was call made to owner...was it because of the local press coverage or crossposting....if it was because of local press...I think a tx and reunited article may be in order....

2013-01-11 10:38 Jojo

Tears are just streaming down my face,,,just so happy that this lovely old boy is home...well done everyone..

2013-01-11 10:32 gsdjj

This makes better reading than most novels. He was wandering down the middle of the road at Walkeringham, which is about 25 miles away from home. Cars were swerving around him and he was taken in at a local garage (i think). From there he went to the vets as the garage couldnt keep him, and then he stayed in a kennel overnight.

2013-01-11 10:31 DogLostOwl

So relieved this old gentleman is home.

2013-01-11 10:21 reilly

Fingers and paws crossed here too for Tank..........been worried about this old chap xx

2013-01-10 21:46 zen

everything crossed here that this is tank and he makes a full recovery, i havent stop thinking about him since i talked to his owner

2013-01-10 21:38 gsdjj

An elderly cream lab has turned up in Misterton near Gainsborough, exhausted and weak. He was taken to a vets, who then placed him at a kennels for the night. The finder has rung the owner and feels that this is Tank from the description. The owner isnt allowed to collect the dog until the morning when the kennels open. Now lets all hope that this is our Tank. Its going to be a very long night.....

2013-01-10 21:24 reilly

Is that YES he's been found?

2013-01-10 21:11 DogLostJayne - Founder Doglost.

YES YES YES....

2013-01-10 21:07 gsdjj

I had a text from Tanks owner saying he'd just had a call from a bloke who has found the dog at Misterton, (near Gainsborough I think) The dog is very weak and exhausted, but alive. Now absolutely typically, I cant get hold of the owner to confirm the details. Grrr! I was trying to offer him a lift as obviously now he has no transport! I will post an update as soon as I have one.

2013-01-10 20:57 DogLostNina

Such a shame to think that at this age he may have been in the stolen van dumped and that he is rapidly slippong down the page and may not be noticed by doglost helpers/

2013-01-10 20:55 gsdjj

wait... had a call he may be at Misterton... will update in a minute

2013-01-10 20:43 ClaireC

Not too sure when Crimewatch is on TV again (and hopefullky Tank will have been found anyway) but as its a stolen vehicle with a police crime reference number how about trying to get this onto the TV? Maybe Nik Doglost might have a connection or further thoughts on this.

2013-01-10 20:22 Clarkey - Area Co-ordinator, East Sussex

I have emailed Market Rasen Racecourse, who have a meeting 17th Jan, to ask if they would kindly make their owners/trainers and racegoers aware. Obviously I am hoping Tank will be home by then, but just in case I think it would be a good place to put the word out.

2013-01-10 19:55 DogLostRiverlady

circulating link with @LincsFM @BBCLincs radio @ThisisLincs....and RSPCA NE + Mid Lincs and @Lincsnews

maybe email poster to minicab firms...couriers....

2013-01-10 18:35 DogLostNina

I am hundredes of mile away but have had a go at emailaing Angiam TV. Not sure how successful I have been. Wondering if PR at doglost can do anything to help the situation.

2013-01-10 17:19 ClaireC

Has anybody tried to contact the BBC/ITV News to possibly get them to "air" him on the TV as he was in a stolen vehicle. Somebody may have taken him thinking he has been dumped as he is old.

2013-01-10 16:35 gsdjj

Thanks jojo for your thoughts, no that loks more Golden retrievery. In fact thank you everyone for what you are doing. the owner is computer illiterate, so Im am doing this for him. Trouble is I am throwing my heart into it and it upsets me too. I cant imagine him surviving this cold, and no one would take him on as he's so lame, but he still has his big labrador heart <3

So sorry to hear that Tank has been stolen .I have shared with Stolen and lost groups on Facebook,Lincolnshire livestock and pets and number of vets I know in the area.We need to try and get this fella back home in the warm asap.

Could this be your boy,,,,,?

2013-01-10 15:45 DogLostJayne - Founder Doglost.

Bumping...14 years old...poor Tank...please crosspost...probably dumped and because of his age...peeps may think he has been dumped for the wrong reasons...

2013-01-10 10:44 zen

the found dog in gloucestershire was not tank, so the search for the lovely tank still goes on

2013-01-10 09:22 gsdjj

Its a silver Transit van, registration WGO7 XZO.
Just spoke to the owner, he hasnt heard a thing, so Tank is still missing. Please keep looking, this dog deserves to come home, hes very old and frail.

2013-01-10 06:38 duffs54

Shared on FB lets hope he is found soon, bad weather on it's way, do we know the reg of the van?

2013-01-09 22:51 zen

its looking like the dog found in gloucestershire is not tank, but will know for certain tomorrow

2013-01-09 21:04 gsdjj

Thanks for everything that you are doing, Iam hoping its not the one found in Gloucestershire. I have phoned the number but they havent put the sex or approx age on it.

2013-01-09 13:15 AlisonH

Just spoken to the owner and he has done absoloutely everthing possible to spread the word about Tank. The Lincs Echo have just been over and it will be in there tonight. The local Market Rasen paper is coming over too and that will be in next week. Lincs Fm have put out an appeal and all the authorities have been informed. Please spread the word as Tanks brother is beside himself as they have never been apart in 14 years.
