Just to say a big thank you to Dog Lost and everyone Jenny, Tiga, Rachel, Sharon, Linda, Adrian and lots more of you for finding Dasher. The more we think about it it is a complete miracle that he survived! Home and having a quiet time with lots of visitors and cuddles. XXX

2014-04-25 14:50 Unknown

Well done Jenny, and Tiga, and all involved. Stay safe now Dasherxxx

2014-04-24 23:05 Belle

This is quite incredible. Huge pat on the back to everyone involved in getting Dasher home. :)

Well done everyone involved, especially Jenny and Tiga....what a clever boy to find Dasher...and poor Dasher must of wondered what on earth happened...but he's a clever boy too for staying close to familiar surroundings and animals....keep him safe and close xx

Excellent news, well done Jenny and Tiga xx

2014-04-24 21:22 Carole

So pleased to see Dasher safe! What a fantastic team Jenny & Tiga are and of course everyone involved! Love a happy ending!! :))

2014-04-24 21:17 Adrian

Well done to you all, what a great team. Made all our day. After seeing him jump out the back of the horse box we feared the worst, but what a plucky little man. Fantastic news!

2014-04-24 21:16 Jenny & Tiga k9tracker

I have just taken Dasher out for a 5 minute walk and he was fine - he walked with no problem, had a wee & a pooh. 'Mum' will be another hour.

2014-04-24 21:07 lmoore - Area Volunteer, Wiltshire

Fantastic result could not have wished for anything different and just in time it turns out as tonight we have "Visitors" moving onto land that we think he was using as his area. Such a lucky boy. Tiga is a star.

Tx Reynard for helping as always...way to go team South West!

2014-04-24 19:04 DogLostReynard

Fantastic that Dasher will recover bless him.
Very happy to have helped and great to see Tiga and Jenny working, once he has a scent it's no stopping him, you have to march pretty sharpish ! :)

Congratulations! Well done Jenny and Tiga, fantastic work. I bet the family reunion will be something to behold :)

2014-04-24 18:49 Jenny & Tiga k9tracker

What a roller coaster week for Dasher! What a huge team effort from everyone involved - from the drivers on the M4 that saw what was going on and those that stopped Dasher's mum, to those that reacted quickly to a rolling road and advised 'mum' to keep running back along the hard shoulder and then those that kept searching and postering, the farmers that were so kind in allowing us to constantly search their land - to the cat that gave up his food for Dasher and finally to my little boy who gave us all hope. Dasher has been to my vet and has a clean bill of health - his head injury is healing and the eye nerve damage will soon repair. He has a few niks that are also healing and a swollen tendon on one leg. He travelled back with me in his bed and is now fast asleep in his bed in a crate after eating some food and awaiting the final reunion with his family. One lucky dog!

Well done Jenny and Tiga and everyone else who helped get Dasher home safely

2014-04-24 16:06 DogLostGlynafon

It is almost unbelievable that this little boy could have even got himself across and off the motorway safely never mind be found, caught and made safe in four days!

Wonderful news!

Good luck x

2014-04-24 09:06 lmoore - Area Volunteer, Wiltshire

rachel is back at the farm this morning with Jenny and Tiga who is showing a lot of interest in one of the barns that he ignored last night so hopefully this is where he spent the night. FingersCrossed.We are ready and waiting with trap when a safe location can be agreed Farm has its own dog and farm cats so must be wary of trapping them by mistake.

2014-04-23 23:15 claire

Oh well done.i just hope he stays away from the m way! Id help but im working again . fingers crossed for tomorrow x

2014-04-23 22:15 lmoore - Area Volunteer, Wiltshire

Had a very positive day today, Firstly the positive sighting by the farmer and then 6 hours of tracking by Tiga. He led us among other places through an area of bungalows which is very interesting as Dasher lives in a bungalow, eventually we ended up back at some stables next door to the farm he was spotted in today. He is used to horses so hopefully he will stay around there. He has warm hay,water and food (cats fed outside) Back out tracking again tomorrow.

2014-04-23 19:28 claire

Any news? Are people still out looking? Stay safe lil man x

2014-04-23 12:52 Jot cotswolds

Any helper with a black labrador in area? Dasher's brother is a black lab, they were travelling together at time of incident.

2014-04-23 11:00 Lilybear

* Positive sighting of Dasher * one ear up, one ear down - 0930hrs this morning. Westbound side of the M4 Motorway - Junct 15 to 16 on land close to: Whitehouse Farm, Wharf Road, Wroughton, Swindon SN4 9QJ. (this is directly opposite to the search area that has taken place on the eastbound).
Imoore & Reynard there now. Rachel on her way. I have updated Jenny & Tiga, on the M25 now. Jenny has update, asks if Dasher seen do not chase, sit and watch. ** So close to the Motorway ** please keep safe, I will pass a message onto Highways to make them aware of search taking place.

2014-04-23 08:45 DogLostReynard

The fab Jenny & Tiga are going to track for him today
Thank you! x

2014-04-22 23:55 CHERYLE WALTON

really sad to know Dasher is still missing I understand that the details should read that dasher was lost on motorway and fell from horsebox while moving at speed of 70 mph not while it was stationery? really hope he will be found safe soon

2014-04-22 22:30 claire

Ah shame.i logged on hoping for some good news.keeep up the good work ladies!

2014-04-22 21:30 lmoore - Area Volunteer, Wiltshire

Been at work all day but did manage to walk most of the old railway track with a couple of dogs. Need to be up there with binoculars as brilliant view of all the fields near Wichelstowe and M4 Any sightings Virginia please still ring as I can leave my work and go straight away unless I am at the vets.I have tried all day to get the caller to ring me back but only had a text to say she cannot answer the phone at the moment Very strange.

Took my dog to m4 area we walked field with no real inrerest and saw nothing but he was quite interested at just one point by the m4 fence
.We also put posters up and renewd some that were wet .

2014-04-22 19:59 claire

Any joy today?

2014-04-22 19:59 claire

Any joy today?

2014-04-22 12:26 DogLostReynard

Adrian we search from the steps onwards (often dogs go back to start and owner scent will be there also) daughter also looked .
Area well postered and landmark is a new Waitrose
Area of possible sighting in town have very good people looking
I will take my dog to search fields near M4 but have already walked the area.
Hoping the local newspaper 'Swindon Advertiser' will run Dasher's story

2014-04-22 09:27 Adrian

Hi Reynard. The steps were where we managed to pull over and stop, I would estimate that Dasher would have jumped out approx 1/2 mile - 1 mile back down the motorway. Good luck today, fingers crossed!

2014-04-22 09:19 DogLostReynard

Thanks Claire and lisa x
Adrian we found the steps so could estimate where Dasher would have been had a good look along and no sign of him , so hoping the sighting in Town is him , its possible as the Canal pops out near to the recent sighting which runs from where he would have been & stops behind the Garage in Kingshill road.
We are postering the area today and daughter is already in the area looking for Dasher which is amazing as she has to travel a fair distance.
come on Dasher show your self lad.

2014-04-21 21:32 DogLostReynard

Sadly no sign of him . need to poster area

2014-04-21 21:06 DogLostReynard

Area is SN1 5DU that Dasher was sighted and followed a Lady but would not come to her as seemed nervous ,so if sighted do not chase be cautious please, he may come for food as must be hungry

2014-04-21 20:41 Lilybear

ginya, that is good news. It was good to meet Rachel this morning. There are some really good people helping search for Dasher so fingers crossed.

2014-04-21 19:57 ginya

2014-04-21 17:11 lmoore - Area Volunteer, Wiltshire

Just got back in from an afternoon of searching for Dasher with Reynard.Been back to the fields alongside M4.but really difficult to see much on the far side of motorway fence as really long grass and brambles. We found the concrete steps thaT Adrian said they had pulled up by and then searched back from there towards junction 16. It would be great if we could find someone who was further back in the queue and actually saw where he left the motorway as I believe the traffic had been stopped by then

2014-04-21 16:01 Mollychops

Thanks Adrian , gosh that must have been scarey for you to see that, the girls are out there now searching, thanks so very much for reporting it to us, lets hope Dasher is found alive and safe

2014-04-21 15:52 Adrian

Hi Molly, He definitely jumped from the horsebox whilst it was moving at approx. 70mph in the middle lane of the M4.

2014-04-21 15:52 Mollychops

He jumped out at that speed, Reynard and lmoore are out there now searching banks, Ive told them to be very carefull !!

2014-04-21 15:43 Mollychops

there are two conflicting reports here, he either jumped from a stationry vehicle or one travelling at 70 mph, which is it to be ??

2014-04-21 15:36 Mollychops

We have the number now, someone will contact you re the sighting

2014-04-21 14:57 Mollychops

Adrian if you are watching please can you let us have your number,I can be contacted via admin

2014-04-21 12:55 DogLostReynard

We ( lMoore Lilybear & myself) have postered area and talked to walkers & farmers , lots of people about today
Thanks Adrian will go out again later and check verges as far as possible as obviously can not.get onto motorway , but did look along roadside near motorway this morning and highway police are aware of Dasher

Last edited: 2014-04-21 12:55:48 by Reynard

2014-04-21 11:07 Adrian

Good luck, I hope you find Dasher soon. If you're out looking please make sure you search verges etc. As Dasher may well be badly hurt. We were following and he jumped from the horsebox whilst it was travelling at around 70mph on the M4.

2014-04-21 09:06 DogLostReynard

local farmer notified and will look out for him

2014-04-21 05:33 Lilybear

Dashers family are not local, were travelling through Wiltshire when incident occurred on M4. . Rachel I checked with the Highways Agency they assisted on the M4 Eastbound, Swindon, Junct 16 towards 15. On the stretch of carriageway which runs alongside Wichelstowe, a new housing development. They stopped the Mill Lane (Foxham Way) side of the estate. If you’ve family & friends heading to area a local landmark would be the local pub: The Bayberry, SN1 7AP. Good luck, hoping Dasher soon safe.

2014-04-20 23:22 Sue P

We will be looking out for him on our way back from holiday along the M4, but I hope he is found before then.

2014-04-20 22:00 DogLostReynard

Will take a look in the morning & poster the area x

2014-04-20 21:45 lmoore - Area Volunteer, Wiltshire

We are in contact with owners daughter and all pubs and vets in the area are aware. He is being shared widely on Swindon pet pages.
Will drive over that way in the morning but hopefully he will be found safe before then
