Hi Dawn
You my think I am barmy but does your town / village have allotments no more than a mile from your small holding where access is up a track? Did the post man leave a gate open but told a young female child but did not get mentioned to you? Sincere apologies if I sound crazy. Sometimes I think anything is worth a try and I had a go at dowsing (im not a professional and could be complelely wrong.) I can write down everything if you want. Text me on 07813 821007.

Possible?
Copied from Gillingham, Dorset FB Group (posted an hour ago):
Spotted by the Avery Bakery just outside Gillingham about 25 minutes ago, a black Labrador, is thought to have been wearing a red/pink collar running about in the road, my son/daughter stopped car and tried getting the dog but it ran off into a field whimpering, seemed very frightened.

I believe Avery Bakery is Wiltshire BA12 6AA. An hour away from where Billy was lost.

A black male lab, 2 years old approx. was found after apparently being thrown out of a white transit van. He is very thin & being held in kennels, I believe at Lab Rescue Kent. From the photo I can't see any white on his chest, looks like he's wearing a leather collar not a red one but after all this time it could have been changed by someone. Thought I'd mention just in case, great if it was Billy.

2014-09-09 19:34 Lilybear

Thank you Ellie, that's great news, have messaged Dawn. I know Dawn will never give hope of one day being reunited with her Billy. I'm sure she checks in on DL & on Billy's page and appreciates all the support. Come home Billy. x

Me n my girl, owner is unresponsive, hoping she is still looking out for him as it must be so hard, but none off us can be certain if a dog is Billy or not.

2014-09-09 14:46 Ellie

Bumping Billy's page as he is featured in the DogLost column of the October edition of Dogs Today magazine, out now.
Do hope this brings news

Hiya, I posted up found dog 74186 but I don't think it was Billy. This dog is a long way from Chippenham, being right by Heathrow, plus I couldn't see any white markings on him and he was a lo9t chunkier than Billy looks in these photos. Sorry :(

2014-08-27 10:57 blackbeard2

Please check FOUND 74186. Hope it is your Billy x

Have just read this posted by Billy's owner.... breaks my heart... 'It has been 42 weeks, 2 days and nine and a half hours since my boy went missing. Every black Labrador I see when I am out I check 'just in case'. I still miss him today, as much as I did when he went/taken. thank you to everyone that still sends me posts of found black labs, please keep doing so as one day we will find him xx'

2014-04-21 07:53 DogLostBobble - Area Co-ordinator - Somerset & East Sussex

Please check this one out, not much to go on and I am trying to get more information right now. Finder says it might be Billy, she's been back for another look, but could not find the dog. There is a chance the found one lives where it was seen anyway, but we need to consider it a possibility. 67737

The Swallowcliffe dog seems to have vanished into the Ether, no-one can find a loose dog there. Still looking out for Billy x

This one sighted but not caught as far as posting says - Swallowcliffe SP3 (about an hour from Chippenham) http://www.doglost.co.uk/dog-blog.php?dogId=66788. Colour not specified on the found one.

One at Cleadon Kennels, Sunderland. I am not sure how much white on Billy's chest so thought I would just post this across to you anyway just in case, says this one is chipped so not sure what the problem might be? http://cleadonkennels.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoid=190150350

2014-02-28 18:06 DogLostBobble - Area Co-ordinator - Somerset & East Sussex

Dawn: Still thinking of you and Billy. Keep checking them all - I know it is hard, but many dogs are returned after a long time. Stay positive x

2014-02-10 18:58 Sarah

I am sure you are checking out the founds ones on this site but there is one 64317 with a bit of white on its chest - sex not known and presuming chip not there/hasn't shown up

2014-02-08 21:19 Dawn

I hope my boy is safe and warm in this terrible weather. please continue to send any found black labs to me as I will follow them up. I still believe he will come home one day. x

Dog Lost Found 63237 is a black lab cross. Very similar. Be wonderful if it is Billy x

2014-01-16 22:37 BigGSDPatlucky

Fingers crossed it is Billy.
If he had not managed to get food I guess he would be skinny

2014-01-16 20:53 DogLostMe N My Girl - Administrative Volunteer

Sorry you haven't found Billy yet but there is a black lab on "nationalpetregister". No picture but male found 1/1/2014 in GL7, black, with the comment "skinny" and it's only 19 miles away. Fingers crossed for you.

Hi Dawn ,
So sorry Billy has not been found yet.
I have him in dogs I am following so search every day on here.
In hopes that I will spot him as many others do.
Sometimes they get scared and hide often nearer home than you think.
Fingers crossed he will be home soon.

2014-01-12 22:56 Dawn

Happy new year to everyone. It has been a miserable Christmas and new year without my lovely boy Billy. His Christmas present is here waiting for him. I have never had a football in the house so long. Billy pops them straight away and then wants you to continually throw it for him. he greets everyone with his sorry looking ball hoping they will throw it for him. I cannot wait to see him pop it. Thank you all for continuing to search for him. Dawn xxx

Sorry to see that dog on facebook was not Billy :( Also, sorry Patlucky there are so many lost dogs and sad stories - the ones that get bumped are for certain critera only. If & when it is right it will happen. Stay safe Billy & everyone far & wide please keep looking. Patlucky you are right about the Sheltie from Scotland found in Kent. So please everyone keep an eye out for Billy everywhere you go.

2013-12-26 22:27 BigGSDPatlucky

I sent the owner a link that is below as she could not load it.
It was not Billy.
Billy has very little white on his chest.
Hope he gets home safe soon.
Please keep looking.
If anyone from dog lost looks in can we have this lovely boy bumped please.

2013-12-25 22:41 BigGSDPatlucky

Just text the owner who is looking at the one on face book now.
Fingers crossed but think maybe too much white on him

2013-12-23 11:55 Bo

Yes Helen crazy things do happen.
Someone lost a dog in Scotland and it was found a while later.
It was found in Kent.
I think areas are right I know it was many many miles.
If my memory serves me correct it was missing a few months.
I do hope Billy is home soon

2013-12-21 05:53 DogLostHelen-Area Volunteer West London

I've just seen a found dog on facebook which looks like Billy, it's a male and he was found in Wales. Don't take too much notice of what people have said in the comments as they are just guessing. Your best bet would be to talk to the doglost lady - Barbara Tomkins, and find out where the dog is now. Good luck x
https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10202592899800523&set=gm.618068058253612&type=1&theater
Just read the comments again and they mentioned white on chest and a red collar. I really hope Billy is home with you soon.
Update: The dog found has been listed on doglost, number 61544, and has been taken by the dog warden to NantYcorn Kennels, nantycorn.com I know this is a long way away from you, but crazy things do happen and it's better that you check every possibility yourself to be sure.

Maybe worth taking a trip to the area of this sighted black lab (found) 61063, could this be Billy, he could have travelled this far by now x

2013-11-30 19:05 Sarah

I don't expect this dog is him on the dogs found section but it's a good photo and you should be able to tell quickly. Also a bit far away but you never know. http://www.doglost.co.uk/dog-blog.php?dogId=60465#.Upo2g8RdV0c

There is a black lab called Bruce, looks like he has a bit of white on his chest too, wearing a red collar also!! Could this be your boy? They are quite specific with age though, says 18 months? Some distance from you (Clymping, West Sussex), but still thought its worth mentioning x

2013-11-27 23:42 Clare

Fingers crossed for you Dawn. Thinking of you and Billy and checking everyday hoping to see him in the blue x

This maybe a long shot but the owner of lost dog 58889 was called out to a suspected sighting of his dog 30 October, but it was a black male lab wearing a red webbing collar very nervous but managed to catch it. The dog was taken to whitewall kennels , Magor, Monmouthshire 01633 880362. I know this is a long way from Chippenham but thought it is worth mentioning it.

Billy’s mum is one special lady, working so hard to get her boy home. Dawn popped to a public meeting in Malmesbury where she met with the local police team & the local press to highlight the search for missing Billy & Esme. Both supportive, the lady from the press very moved, contacting Dawn tomorrow for follow up story. Then later in day Dawn had a reported sighting of a black Labrador running in the road the Wootton Bassett end of Brinkworth, the caller thought it to be Billy. As Dawn arrived the kind lady had captured the dog and had it in her car. Sadly not Billy but Dawn took it home where she kept it safe until the dog warden arrived, able to reunite by finding chip ‘in leg’! What a busy day.. Dawn has heard from a helper in Swindon who is going to help with posters.

The caller must have misunderstood when I asked where he saw the stray he said it was Brinkworth, he might have thought I was asking where Billy was missing from.. It is definitely the same sighting. Sorry about any confusion this has caused.
Edited to add that I have just looked on maps and that is a long way off. I think it would be worth calling back to confirm where the sighting was. I thought he said his father lived in Brinkworth and was going to walk his dog round the area to see if he could see the dog again.

I cant stop thinking about this gorgeous boy, really hope he is found safe and returned back to his family xx

2013-10-17 08:29 Dawn

It is now two weeks since Billy has gone missing/stolen. Every day the pain of losing him gets worse. The not knowing of what has happened to him eats you up. Every time the phone ring you hope its the call you have been waiting for, even if its bad news. Thank you all for your hard work. He is out there somewhere and I know one of you will find him. thank you.xx

2013-10-15 15:05 Unknown

Really sorry that Billy is still missing. I so hope he is found safely very soon. I have been sharing on facebook and twitter and he has a thread on Labrador Forums too. Stay safe Billy, til your Mum finds you x

2013-10-14 22:35 Dawn

I would like to thank everyone who is helping me look for Billy. I am very down at the moment. It is very hard to stay possible. Bessy (billy and Bess are inseparable) keeps going out looking for him which breaks my heart. I worry how scared Billy must be without his family. Please continue to keep looking for him. Thank you.x

2013-10-14 21:51 Dawn

Thank you for putting Billy on twitter.

Any luck with the sdk link below?

Dawn, so nice to read about Billy, such a sweet boy and so very handsome. There are many people caring, sharing and wishing Billy home. As I mentioned by email I had an opportunity to speak with M4 Highways Agency (Junct 17-16) and Network Rail during the night who both checked back to 03/10 with no report of any incident involving a dog in your area. They welcome you to keep in touch as the advice sheets shared. Posters remain key, spreading word to local towns, villages. You’re doing a brilliant job. Hoping today brings the news we all wish for you.

Thought I would just tell you about Billy. He is a very caring dog. He lives on a smallholding and he cares for all the other animals. As you can see from his photos he mothers everything. He cuddles them, cleans them, let them curl up with him and go to sleep and will not allow any animals to fight or have a disagreement. He does not care if its two large pigs or two chickens he will get in the middle or nip their bums. Billy is a rescue dog who we have had seen 12 weeks old and you could not find a better affectionate or caring dog. our hearts are breaking and just want him home.

2013-10-10 22:27 Dawn

Hello everyone.
It is now a week since Billy went missing. There has not been any sighting of him so far so I am hoping someone may have taken him in. Please could you all download Billy's poster and Facebook, email it to all your friends and put a poster up in your area, just incase he has been taken further a field. I am so grateful for everyones help and support. Lets get Billy from Brinkworth home. Thank you.

2013-10-10 14:52 Sammie

Due to the media coverage that includes Billy
" A SECOND family is also searching for their dog which disappeared from Brinkworth on Thursday. Billy the black Labrador went missing from a smallholding at Causeway End.

Described as very affectionate, Billy is known for looking after other animals. He has a white mark on his chest and was wearing a red collar.

Anyone with information about either animal can contact Malmesbury Police on 101 or Dog Lost online at doglost.co.uk or by calling 0844 800 3220. "
I will bump

I know it is unlikely as a long way from home and says no chip but a male black lab has been found in Street or Langport. http://www.lostdogsuk.co.uk/index.php?id=74

2013-10-08 22:54 Dawn

Hello all. sadly Billy is still not home. Desperately looking for him. I did have a text from someone Sunday saying that a friend of hers had seen on Facebook that a black Labrador had been found and taken to a kennel, which she thought was Brinkworth kennels but it was not. when she went back on Facebook to check which kennels it was she could not find the post. Did anyone else see the post? would be very gratefully for any news.
