Phoned owner, she has seen the dog sighted in Martock is NOT Pippy, has postered, scented & given details to every vets,farmer, gamekeeper, stables, hunts etc in a 50 mile radius. her husband saw her swimming in the flood waters on the day she went missing but she wouldn't respond to his calls or whistles,this area has been thoroughly searched & now they are being realistic in thinking Pippy drowned in the flood waters that day. However if anyone can suggest anything else that can be done to find Pippy & bring her home she would be grateful for any suggestions.

We had a phone call on Monday saying Pippy had been seen running past the Church in Martock - we went and searched but cold not see her. Have put an advertisement for her in Blackmore Vale Magazine and Western Gazette for this week - so fingers crossed. All the farmers have been out in the flooded fields but still no news of her so really hoping the Martock sighting was her as second time someone has called from that area. She is a wonderful dog and very clever so .....Thanks to everyone who is still looking out for her.

We still have not lost hope - the flood waters are going down - so please everyone keep looking - we look and call every day. Thank you to everyone who has helped.

Shared on twitter with the link to here. I hope you get some good news soon.

2014-02-27 09:39 penny

unlikely but has anyone actually seen dog 62541?

2014-02-22 23:13 DogLostSherlock- Area Co-ordinator & Police Liaison - Avon & South Gloucestersh

Let's hope it's a positive sighting...tweeted again for Pippy's return x

2014-02-22 16:31 DebsAndGreg

Good luck. Hope it is Pippy they saw and that you can be reunited soon.

Bumping the page due to this possible sighting, I will also contact Penny.

2014-02-22 10:25 Spindle

Possible sighting. Just had a phone call at 3.30am someone thought they saw her on the Stoke sub Hamdon and Martock Road. We have been out looking and calling but difficult in the dark. Will be out tomorrow looking - any help would be amazing - it would just be wonderful if it were Pippy. Thank you

2014-02-21 19:01 DogLostSherlock- Area Co-ordinator & Police Liaison - Avon & South Gloucestersh

Tweeted Pippy's details on Twitter for you ....what a terrible time you have had....I hope your girl is keeping safe x

2014-02-16 22:54 penny

Have left some material with our sent on it between Long Sutton and Bineham as today has been the first day without rain - so hope she might sent this and we will find her tomorrow - seen people out on the floods in kayaks - so still no sighting so hopefully she is just hiding somewhere

2014-02-14 18:19 Manningford

I don't think the dog I saw in Seend is Pippy. The one here is definitely a collie.Sorry.

2014-02-14 17:55 penny

we are still hoping she is ok - but look over the levels with dread. saw that a crossbread was found in seend - could that be Pippy - have put a comment on the found page.

2014-02-09 16:56 penny

went along river again up past Pill bridge to where there are woods but not joy. Thank you every kind person out there is who is still looking.

2014-02-09 15:18 penny

Still no news - have been out looking again today

2014-02-08 10:54 penny

Hi Gino A long shot - but what is the dog found in Swindon - black?

2014-02-07 17:03 penny

we took a boat out instead - no joy - but good that we also did not see any body so still hope

2014-02-07 11:29 penny

too windy to fly drone - so just out walking

2014-02-07 10:14 DogLostJasper - Area Volunteer, Somerset

Wow! Really do hope for some good news.i am at the opposite side of flood to you(burlinghams lane) so I am calling and watching from this side. Walked down to ash fishing lakes yesterday which also backs onto floods ,left a few posters . Sorry I can't do more . Let me know if you want me to check anywhere. With regards to the lurcher- did they manage to catch it? I walked church lane last night but couldn't see anything. Good luck today.

2014-02-07 09:04 penny

hi have reported lurcher to dog warden ssdc

2014-02-07 08:59 penny

Hi will report to dog warden later today - as going out with some amazing guy who has a drone to look for pippy - will try to ring dog warden before i go

2014-02-06 22:15 DogLostPoochpal - Regional Co-ordinator - South West - Police Liaison Team

Can you report sighting of the lurcher to the dog warden tomorrow in case it has been reported missing. Such a shame there have been no sightings yet but I am bumping so that others can see that the lurcher was seen. If it was wearing a coat then there will be someone looking for him/her .

2014-02-06 20:04 penny

Hi local radio and papers not run stories - sadly no siting yet. I was just notified of a stray dog which hoped would be Pippy - but wssnt - however a lurcher
grey wire colour I believe, with collar and trying to get out of a coat was seen in Church Lane Long Load very frightened this evening at 18.40 - hope this helps someone find its dog.

2014-02-06 18:54 DogLostPoochpal - Regional Co-ordinator - South West - Police Liaison Team

Have local radio and papers run stories yet? Any news coverage or sightings let us know and we will bump the page.

2014-02-06 09:38 penny

Hi everyone - sadly having spoken to experts it is too dangerous to go out in the flood water - so its just a question of walking and hoping someone will see her. thank you soo much to whoever put a load of posters out yesterday - as I was following their trail with ours!

2014-02-05 23:03 penny

Already done it - and they did fly over for us and have a look - however have found a possibility and will be on it tomorrow - thanks again everyone

2014-02-05 22:21 DogLostJasper - Area Volunteer, Somerset

Anyone really good at persuasive phone calls/emails? Happy to do it but not really my strong point.contact details for RNAS yeovilton on their website. There is a phone no for general enquiries and /or contact details for complaints and enquiries. I have just been outside now and a helecopter has just flown over the floods very slowly.

2014-02-05 19:13 DogLostPoochpal - Regional Co-ordinator - South West - Police Liaison Team

I don't think it would be too cheeky at all, the worst thing they can say is no. I was hoping with all the news teams in the area that they would give Pippy a mention to help spread the word. Anything has to be worth a try.

2014-02-05 18:40 DogLostJasper - Area Volunteer, Somerset

Just walked the dogs on knowl hill but no sign I'm afraid. I did notice a small fibreglass rowing boat which I guess belongs to golf club as it is near their grounds right on the waters edge. If you walk down the track almost to waters edge , it's in field on the right. Don't know if this is do'able but we have noticed helecopters hovering over floods monitoring the situation and I'm sure they must use their thermal imaging camera. Would it be too cheeky if we wrote asking them to tell dogs lost if they should spot anything.?

2014-02-05 18:05 penny

Hi been all over again today. No joy. Only thing I can think of is going out in a boat to the dry area - trouble is we dont have a small rowing boat - got rowers though. Anyone able to help with this. Thank you all again so much. Penny

2014-02-05 10:07 penny

Hi Helen - thank you very much - am going with posters today to ilchester, kingsdon, bineham and knole also taking a closer look at the woods in bineham - if ony we knew where to look we would have her home by now - keep looking at google earth to see where she may have logically gone. Thanks again for all your help

2014-02-04 22:35 DogLostJasper - Area Volunteer, Somerset

Hello penny, not around tomorrow but happy to do whatever needed on Friday. Have a load more posters ready to go up- more needed around somerton/ langport. Is there an area you would like me to search? Spoke to firemen at martock and they have poster so are aware of pippy. Don't worry, we will keep looking.

2014-02-04 20:51 penny

Drove through Bineham, Knole, Long Sutton today and walked along the long sutton side of river to Illchester and back with binocs - no sighting - so she must be somewhere hiding - or exhausted - please please all you kind people do not give up on her thank you

2014-02-04 10:28 penny

Hi for sure - anything that can help - I put her on BBC spotlight facebook this morning - though I am not very good at all this kind of thing. Anything to get her home safely. Thank you

2014-02-04 10:20 Unknown

Poochpal asked if I could contact the media. Didn't have much time yesterday, but I did quickly contact local papers and BBC.

2014-02-04 08:36 penny

Hi everyone - thank you to all those people looking for her - I just hope and hope someone will at least have a sighting of her or the next phone call will be someone has found her

2014-02-03 18:32 DogLostJasper - Area Volunteer, Somerset

Hi penny,no problem, just hope posters bring some positive sightings. Fingers crossed. Helen.

2014-02-03 15:52 penny

Hi Jasper - thank you so so much - was just in Long Sutton having been looking and walking and asking about Pippy and they showed me your poster - that was the next job - so incredibly kind of you thank you - so poster now up in front of window fingers crossed

2014-02-03 12:36 DogLostJasper - Area Volunteer, Somerset

Just back from scout around. Left a few posters in langport somerton and Kingston but due to lack of drawing pins didn't do very well but do more this afternoon when in have the necessary equipment.

2014-02-03 12:29 penny

Hi Louise - thank you so much - we are just off to search from Bineham towards illchester - so fingers crossed - no joy with any other avenue at the momment

2014-02-03 12:26 Jackson

Hi Penny. We met yesterday at the bottom of Ilchester Lane - I had the Rottie and little cross-breed. Just to let you know I have posted all the info on my Facebook page and also on the Yeovil Real News page asking everyone for their help in finding Pippy. Info has been shared around from both pages. Louise.

2014-02-03 10:35 penny

Have phoned all dog wardens, vets in area and rescue centres with no joy so far this morning - thank you everyone for looking for her - please keep looking and if anyone has a sighting please let us know. Thank you very much.

2014-02-02 21:56 penny

Hi Jasper and Kate - thank you both very much -know what you mean about the guns - that sound freaks pip out completely - i am hoping someone will report that they have found her tomorrow after the weekend - we keep driving, walking and talking to everyone we see so hopefully something will come of it

2014-02-02 20:52 DogLostJasper - Area Volunteer, Somerset

Walked from ilchester to long load via the river but sadly no sightings. Lots of very loud gun shots still going on down there, which spooked my own dog so don't think pippy would stay near there. Will have a good drive around towards somerton tomorrow.

2014-02-02 20:18 kateb27

Ah penny sorry for the false alarm :( I hope you find pippy soon. I've asked people to keep a look out for her.

2014-02-02 19:25 penny

Hi just spoke to the farmer in High Ham - apparently it was there collie - but thank you for your efforts - it could have been pip which would be amazing

2014-02-02 19:20 penny

Hi thanks for the information kateb27 - was it outside a farm called Manor Farm - if so do you know who owns it so I can ring - someone else also saw this dog but thought it was the farm collie? - also thanks for spreading the word gino.

2014-02-02 18:37 kateb27

I saw a dog today that looked a lot like the picture around the village green of high ham at around 4pm. I did not see an owner which I found bizarre. Unfortunately I have only just seen this poster. It might be worth checking with heavens gate in henley to see if anyone took the dog in overnight. I feel so annoyed now that I didn't stop!

2014-02-02 15:51 penny

Apparently Pip could have gone a long way - being confused by the water - so please extend search area from Long Load/Long Sutton as far a Yeovilton/Ilchester/Kingsdon may be even Somerton - apparently there was a sighting of a dog in Somerton today, black with white muzzle - so if any one knows more about this please let me know. thank you to every one for so much support and help.

2014-02-02 10:29 penny

Yes, we would love help!! As much as possible. Many thanks to everyone who has helped so far!

2014-02-02 10:28 DogLostJasper - Area Volunteer, Somerset

I will walk the river/fields from ilchester end up towards the back of ash and on towards long load. Might be worth having a word with firemen in martock . They have set up a command centre thereto coordinate pumping on levels and may keep an eye open for pippy.

2014-02-01 23:14 penny

If you need more information please let me know we are really worried for her safety. thank you all so much

2014-02-01 23:13 penny

We last saw her headed towards Bineham/Knowle - from the Long Sutton side of river. However she could have headed towards Ilchester. She was seen in the middle of the floods going in the Bineham/Knowle/Long Sutton direction but away from the river

2014-02-01 23:01 DogLostJasper - Area Volunteer, Somerset

Was pippy headed towards langport or across the other way towards ilchester/ash ?

2014-02-01 22:38 Seeks

I really hope Pippy will soon be found and got everything crossed for her

2014-02-01 19:56 tweet01

2014-02-01 19:47 DogLostPoochpal - Regional Co-ordinator - South West - Police Liaison Team

Photo now uploaded ready for email alerts. Pippy ran off after hearing shooting but unfortunately ran across flooded fields heading away from home. Local farmers, vets etc. informed.
