Is there anymore news on these dogs yet?

2014-04-22 19:40 Debbie

wish I could be there to help too. well done girls x

2014-04-22 00:02 Carol

Yes shelagh now Easter is over they may appear again xxx

2014-04-21 22:28 Shelagh

Been following postings of this poor dog. Do you think they/he could change times because of so much activity. Maybe they coming out early morning or late at night to avoid so many people.

2014-04-21 21:34 Mollychops

Thanks Snoopdog I think they should be left up for the meantime, maybe a week or so. If you could take down then , great, thankyou

2014-04-21 21:28 snoopdog

Hiya do you want me to take down the posters or shall we leave them up...? There aren't that many but just let me know I can do that for you ...?

2014-04-21 16:21 Mollychops

When I searched yesterday I textd Reynard the fact that the sheep were very quiet

2014-04-21 16:00 Jot cotswolds

Was fabulous to meet Abi and Snoop...both great girls..and it was really good to see help! One thought I've had this afternoon: the first 100yards or so (after going over 2nd stile from narrow part of access to fields by the cottages) were 2 smallish paddocks and a small copse rammed full of rabbits ..with a field of sheep further right as you head away from Southrop. No sign of nervousness or disturbance with either this morning...if a dog was about the other animals wouldn't have been so relaxed. I wonder if it has moved on to outskirts of Southrop somewhere, or back towards Eastleach.

2014-04-21 15:07 Mollychops

Thanks JO Snoopdog and Abi, for your tremendous effort today. Ive a feeling that these two are local and what I label as free range . If that Lab was as poorly as was seen , he coundnt have made his way to that field on his own. If he had been dumped, as I first thought, he would still be there

2014-04-21 13:53 angi

It's interesting that travellers have been mentioned as it has always been strongly suspected that Brook was stolen by them or passed onto them. It would be brilliant if someone could put a few of his posters up near by to remind them that we are still looking. Maybe after 3 years they are ready to give him back!! x

2014-04-21 11:41 Abi-mama

Just got home with no sighting of stray dogs:(( I walked from Fyfield to wards Southrop across the fields, then back up the river. On the plus side there were plenty of local people out and about, great to meet up with Jo who had better scouting skills than me, and Snoopdog. I feel pretty confident that if the dogs were still in the area they would be picked up by a caring dog walker. A lady who walks a 4 mile loop with her cocker every day says she always has a spare lead. Just hope these dogs have lead us on a wild goose chase and are safe somewhere.

2014-04-21 11:22 Esther

Good luck to all of you searching and thanks for trying

2014-04-21 11:16 snoopdog

Met Jo and Zoe out walking think these 2 dogs have either split up weren't a duo or have moved on or hoping they've been picked up..? Just back took out my 4 hounds armed with cheese, bacon and posters but nothing..:( will keep an eye out .. We know most of the dogs that live in the locality and none of the descriptions fit any locals hounds ..:( hoping they have been picked up or found by their owners but will continue to keep an eye out... Can we email local vets and blue cross at Burford to get their details distributed I wonder .. Thanks for trying just disappointed we didn't see them today :(

2014-04-21 11:06 Jot cotswolds

No sign at all...Met Abi (Zoe) and her pocket of cheese (!) for a dual search then we split in different directions. I spotted lab' sized footprints (made in last 24hrs) on footpath leading from those two cottages on the photo..about half mile towards Eastleach - several in the mud - but they were heading back towards Southrop..no dog footprints heading the other way. I postered the village hall notice board and to a man at a house bordering the fields where the sighting on Saturday was- he has bene up a ladder painting for last 2-3 days and saw nothing. Met Snoopdog and her own dogs at about 10.15am..she was heading out with posters and searching towards Eastleach. Sorry..really wanted a result. Jo

2014-04-21 09:11 snoopdog

I live by the river Leach our home overlooks the footpath at Fyfield which is in between Southrop and Eastleach. I have printed off a couple of posters so will put these up... There is a farm that isn't too far away that may know these two dogs I will check but there is an awful lot of travelling activity going on at the moment as Stow Fair is coming up ... Southrop has a field where some of the travelling community and their families keep their horses and foals so there's a lot of coming and going to check on them. Perhaps these 2 dogs have been left behind by mistake ...? I am going to be walking this footpath with my 4 in about 40 minutes so will keep an eye out for them .. If I see them I will let you know but as it's Easter weekend a lot of people are passing through and as it's been the school holidays maybe they have simply taken themselves off hunting and got really lost ..:( ?

Good luck Jo Glos. I found the mobile reception OK there

2014-04-21 07:47 Jot cotswolds

I'm heading to Southrop now to see if I can help find it. Will take me about an hour to get there so arriving about 8.45am. Unsure what mobile reception is like over there but I'm on 07795 972960 if there's news in the meantime. If any locals can help it would be jolly useful. Jo

2014-04-20 22:29 Mollychops

Ive uploaded a photo of the footpath where it starts opposite the Manor house, hope this helps. It is easy to miss

2014-04-20 21:29 Abi-mama

I am up for heading over there tomorrow morning, will look at google street view, thanks for posting link and info on where to look.

2014-04-20 18:52 Jot cotswolds

For anyone who can look in Southrop tomorrow..this is the footpath entrance Molly described ..paste this into your internet browser to bring up google streetview shot of it http://tinyurl.com/lqqnbwn That goes into the field adjacent to the river where it was seen.

Well done Molly...I will see what can be done about heading over to that side of Cotswolds tomorrow. If anyone else can spare time in Southrop please let this list know. Weather this evening and tonight is wet and miserable.. worsening an already bad situation for this dog.

2014-04-20 17:46 Mollychops

I nearly missed the footpath entrsnce , its squeezed between two cottages opposite the manor . There is two stiles and then a fenced walkway which leads into a field where the dogs were seen Easy to miss this. Then the fields are permitted for the public, lots of right of way here off to various areas, such as Eastleach Fifield etc

2014-04-20 17:33 Jot cotswolds

Just seen updates: that poor dog. On google streetview there seems to be a triangle/layby opposite Thyme Cookery school/, Southrop Manor entrance...is that the entrance to field where it was seen? is it a public footpath? How much or the riverside there can be accessed without permission?

2014-04-20 17:12 angi

Brook could be anywhere in the country by now so definitely possible. Will post on his admin group for caroline to see x

2014-04-20 16:34 Shelagh

Searched missing sites for chocolate lab but can't find one. However, remember Brooke stolen about three years ago from another area. !

2014-04-20 15:02 Shelagh

Omg that poor dog I am miles away in London but sending positive vibes for a good outcome. If you need anyone contacted please let me know. 07985661774

2014-04-20 13:57 Mollychops

Lots of very helpful stuff going on here, thanks everyone. Update....The lab is male and Chocolate, Ive updated the poster. Just got off the phone to the kind lady who saw them and reported them to us. I was there for a couple of hours earlier, and wandered around the area where they were seen. Sadly no sightings. Ive postered Southrop village,the village pub, who took a poster, the adjacent village Fifield, and the Fairford Stores. I met a solitary dog walker in the fields who took my number. Lets hope we get some fresh news soon

2014-04-20 13:15 Esther

A long way from here, so watching from afar. Best of luck to you all

2014-04-20 10:26 DogLostReynard

I'm an hour away from that area and got a houseful here expecting lunch..if a normal Sunday I'd have been there by now..so worried about that poor dog

2014-04-20 10:03 DogLostReynard

Thanks Jo Glos if your local could you call Mollychops on above no please?
She is mega busy and will try to get over there approx 11.00am.

2014-04-20 09:52 Jot cotswolds

Labrador Rescue Trust have posted to their facebook page to see if any urgent help is available

2014-04-20 09:21 Jot cotswolds

Just tweeted to the cookery school too..they were online yesterday and they have visitors staying in holiday cottages there

2014-04-20 09:17 Mollychops

Ive changed contact number to mine, and will take posters with me

2014-04-20 09:15 Jot cotswolds

That is GL7 3NX...right by the Southrop Primary School

2014-04-20 09:07 Mollychops

I will aim to get there late morning. The sightings were in the field opposite the Thyme Cookery School. Thanks Jo Glos .

2014-04-20 08:59 Jot cotswolds

Have also tweeted direct to Cotswold wildlife park to see if they can help as they are very nearby

2014-04-20 08:55 Jot cotswolds

Have tweeted this out and hashtagged it to cirencester, bibury, southrop, fairford, lechlade, ampney. Have also tweeted direct to the Swan At Southrop asking if they can let walkers/visitors know. Any friendly vets/rambling/cycling groups in that area who might help? Today's the day all will be out and it sounds desperate for that dog

2014-04-20 08:30 DogLostBobble - Area Co-ordinator - Somerset & East Sussex

I wonder what colour the lab is? I have missing dogs here: 64280 that if the Lab is black, would fit. Good luck you find them Mollychops.

I have spoken with the lady who spotted the dogs,and will head out later on to see If I can see them. The lab sounds in a very bad way

2014-04-20 07:02 labradorloopy

The nearest Labrador Rescue is 'The Labrador Rescue Trust'. Please make contact with them, I'm sure their members will help - they might also know who these two belong to. A thin lab is not good - sounds like he's too ill to hunt for himself. Good luck with capturing them. It sounds like time is running out.

2014-04-19 23:00 Kinsally

This is heartbreaking to think of this poor dog in such a pitiful state. Please if anyone is in the area could they put some food out? I am so far away to help but perhaps someone in the area could set up a feeding station? X

2014-04-19 22:45 Carol

Poor thing hope someone helps them xxx
