I will speak to the farmer tomorrow

2013-10-29 12:21 kelouise

If this dog does belong to anyone or you know of the owners. I work onsite and can pass your details over. Many thanks x

2013-10-29 11:53 philippasmith

Have just read on facebook that a bull mastiff type dog was found dead on a farm in Preston this morning. No collar, no microchip. Could possibly be this dog? I am trying to find contact information for the original poster, but it says "found on the village farm just outside Preston".

2013-10-17 14:08 DogLostMillieVW - Area Volunteer - West Wiltshire

Any updates?

2013-09-11 08:04 duffs54

Any more news on this poor dog, and is he still being fed etc!

2013-08-30 23:48 Mollychops

Ive had a look at both Vinnys and Murphys pages but this dog is red in colour

2013-08-30 19:44 DogLostMe N My Girl - Administrative Volunteer

Could it be Vinny 39959 described as a bull mastiff pup in May 2012, pups change. He went missing from Watton under Edge which is Gl12 postcode and is only 20 miles away.

2013-08-30 11:21 Millys Mum

labradorloopy - I agree with you that there's a possibility that this stray Mastiff could be Murphy as looks similar to me. And, as we know on DL, stranger things have happened! A possible scenario is that Murphy may have been stolen (or taken in by someone) and, at some stage, moved to the South West. This poor lad looks such a lovely boy and so I do hope it won't be long until he's safe and sound.

2013-08-30 10:06 labradorloopy

Is there any chance this could be Murphy? I know it's not the right area, but Murphy went such a long time ago he could be anywhere now.

2013-08-29 22:02 Mollychops

Also sighted in a garden earlier in the year on the Eastcourt side of Kemble airfield !!

2013-08-28 23:12 Carol

Thanks mollychops for updates xxxx

2013-08-28 22:51 Mollychops

Another sighting by someone else last week crossing the A419 by dobbies garden centre, which is a straight line from Preston to where he has been seen in Siddington . This was early in the mornng

2013-08-28 21:42 Mollychops

Updated poster with sightings and breed

Hi there Jonboy, thanks for coming on and posting, I hear Jenners put this on the local Town facebook. This is incredible, sounds like he is having late dinner in Preston and Early breakfast with you !! Jenners is going to plot this and find out more if she can. I will put posters up in Siddington shop, and around the village, to see if he is visiting anyone else

2013-08-28 18:44 Jonboy74

This dog was on our drive last night 4am .last week 5am stole dog food .got it on CCTV .siddington GL7 6HR

2013-08-27 21:09 Mollychops

Helen and Jenners are coming over to try and catch this boy, and hopefully they will succeed, thanks . Sorry I should have posted this earlier, they are on the case, Jenners has already been over to do a recce

2013-08-26 15:35 Carol

Wouldn't it be a good idea to take Mogs2 offer am anxious about the wellbeing of this dog as eating fat balls will kill him xxx

2013-08-25 19:02 Mollychops

Ive sent a link to the person who does the village newsletter

2013-08-25 13:04 Mollychops

I met another neighbour earlier who said she d had food stolen off her bird table, but that was earlier this year

2013-08-24 23:00 Carol

Any luck with this dog xxxx

2013-08-24 09:12 Mollychops

Thanks Mogs, that's a very kind offer. I will shout If I need you x

2013-08-23 21:41 Mogs2

I live near Swindon if you need some help catching this dog. Experienced with most breeds as dog trainer/behaviour help. Used to sitting out all night sometimes to catch strays or lost animals!

2013-08-23 07:47 duffs54

Bless him he looks so sad, hope he is reunited or found a new home once he has been caught, good luck all involved and fingers crossed.

2013-08-23 00:20 Carol

Hope it's caught xxx

2013-08-22 22:33 SuzeeBee

This dog looks like an Anatolian Shepherd.

2013-08-22 22:18 Julie B

I have been following this post and you are working so hard to get this poor dog to safety. Hopefully with the help of the trap he will be caught safely very soon xx

2013-08-22 21:44 Mollychops

Good idea Spindle. I don't know of any but maybe Icould ask my vets. Ive just arranged to borrrow a large trap , and fantastic trapper Jenners is coming over to help me as Ive never had any experience with one. Im just waiting to hear back from the people whose garden we will be taking over for the foreseeable !

2013-08-22 18:25 mathers22

My first thought was part Mastiff - hope he's soon caught xx

2013-08-22 15:12 Spindle

I would say mastiff or mastiff cross. So sad out there all alone. A bitch on heat may be the key.

Thanks Sandie, That's what I was thinking and a strong one !!

2013-08-22 13:01 DogLostAngus

Mollychops - I have added both images as they are so much clearer than the existing ones - think that boy will need a big trap

2013-08-22 12:53 Mollychops

2 very exciting new photos have now been taken, One will be put on here shortly . Its a great clear picture of this dog.

2013-08-19 22:24 Mollychops

Dw has been contacted , but they've said there is nothing they can do . they don't have a trap. I will try and get mine over there, but it wont be before next weekend now

2013-08-18 10:38 Carol

Thanks mollychops am so worried about this dog xxx

2013-08-17 23:13 Mollychops

Could this be Clayton a gsd x? Said to be very nervous rescue dog.

2013-08-16 19:10 Mollychops

Thanks X

2013-08-16 18:55 DogLostAngus

I have added a still from the video into box 2

2013-08-16 18:38 Mollychops

couldnt someone put a trap in the garden

2013-07-10 13:32 DogLostFergal - Area Volunteer - Cornwall

Have taken these links off as they are not matches - don't know what happened, perhaps I posted to the wrong page or the links have changed. Sorry

Fingers crossed for a photo, hope they can get close enough at some point :-)

2013-07-09 09:33 Mollychops

Yes the build is large

2013-07-09 07:59 DogLostMillieVW - Area Volunteer - West Wiltshire

Guiness is a black mini schnauzer, wonder if his coat would go curly when unclipped? Can you confirm build is large?

Last edited: 2013-07-09 08:03:37 by MillieVW - Area Volunteer - West Wiltshire

2013-07-09 07:52 Mollychops

The people who saw the dog were certain not a lab, as much curlier a coat

2013-07-09 07:47 DogLostMillieVW - Area Volunteer - West Wiltshire

I thought guiness or Murphy, guiness has quite a smooth coat though.

2013-07-09 00:24 debbie

Wouldn't be Guinness would it ? X

2013-07-08 22:04 Mollychops

Finders will be leaving dog food out to hopefully keep the dog in the area

2013-07-08 21:56 Timmy's Mummy

Lets hope someone leaves some proper food and a bowl of water out for this poor doggie? Bone meal is very bad for animals. xx

2013-07-08 21:45 Mollychops

The fact the dog is searching for food at night makes me think he has been dumped . Ive asked finders to contact the local dog warden
