I am so pleased you managed to get Frankie home, what a hectic 24 hours. Well done to every one involved. X

2014-12-09 17:53 Unknown

Oh wow... that was tense! I was thinking about Frankie all day! Stayed up late last night hoping for the good news. Dog lovers ROCK! :D I wonder if there'll be anything in the local press about stange noises in Bussage.. :D Oh and I hope the Huskies got a treat too!

Well done..everyone came together last night to help. Stroud is a wonderful place. I would think that dog won't be needing a walk for about a week, he covered a huge number of miles yesterday at high speed and negotiated the A419 heaven knows how many times. A nice secure lead might be needed for that lovely but nervy little dog! Have a fabulous christmas with him x

2014-12-09 14:35 Frankies Folks

Many many thanks to those who helped us track frankie down. The support and advice we received was invaluable and we are truly grateful. We took Frankie to the vets at lunchtime and he has only superficial nicks and split pads and other than being exhausted he is fine and should be back to normal In a couple of days. Considering his adventures we think he has been a very lucky boy to have escaped so lightly. At least the people of bussage can sleep peacefully tonight without a crazy lady running round shrieking that ito time to go home for sausages (Frankie will do almost anything for sausages).

Ahhhh happy tears - well done all. Stay safe now Frankie xxx

2014-12-09 10:04 Penelope

What wonderful news. Well done to everyone that helped in tracking Frankie & reuniting him with his owners. I love happy endings. Hope Frankie is all warm now and tucking into a wholesome breakfast by the fire xxx

2014-12-09 09:36 zen

im sure frankies frantic owners are over the moon, stay safe now frankie..... so glad you are safe , the people of bussage can have a quiet night tonight instead of mad people running around trying to find a dog...lol

Great news! Well done everyone!

2014-12-09 08:07 NB

me n my girl - I happened to be walking very close by on the common when Frankie went missing. There were quite a few other dogs around at that point, all seemed happy and waggy. One minute there was a whippet with a coat, the next he was gone. Nothing obvious happened to make him run and my guess is that he followed someone else with dogs, got lost/disorientated and simply panicked. It was less than a minute from him being there to it being noticed he was gone then there were quite a few of us looking for him immediately.

Brilliant work, well done all. I was just looking for Poochpals post on Fly to refer you to Ray Dedicotts instructions re trapping and when I came back the deed had been done!!!! Wonder what made Frankie bolt. So glad he is home safe and warm.

2014-12-09 07:46 DogLostJenners - Area Volunteer, Gloucestershire

Well done everyone, especially the owners of The Ram, dog lovers themselves :)

2014-12-09 07:44 NB

Wooohoo! So happy for everyone :)))
Fantastic work Doglost people and Frankies owners. You did it!
Wishing you all much warmth and many cuddles back where you belong, safe and sound at home.

2014-12-09 07:43 Jenny & Tiga k9tracker

Well done team - a great result.

2014-12-09 07:39 NB

Please can you confirm - they have actually caught him??
Was just on my way out to the Ram. Holding my breath that this is true...

2014-12-09 07:37 Rocky and Bella's mum

Yes just seen him

2014-12-09 07:36 Jenny & Tiga k9tracker

They have got him

2014-12-09 07:09 Jenny & Tiga k9tracker

Exactly - owners must now sit quietly at the pub and sit it out.

2014-12-09 07:08 Jot cotswolds

Great..just texted Lucy too with the news just in case. I don't think he'll go near anyone but owners at the moment. I was within 50yds of him at 8.20pm and he just bolted away again.

2014-12-09 07:05 Jenny & Tiga k9tracker

Yes owner should be there now - he is aware.

2014-12-09 07:03 Jot cotswolds

Are owners aware and on their way?

2014-12-09 06:54 DogLostCaroline B - volunteer Cirencester

7 am and he's still by pub. Lusa Teddy's mum just seen him. Still running scared.

2014-12-09 06:27 DogLostCaroline B - volunteer Cirencester

Owner of ram seen him at 6 am.
He has slept there and eaten food. Was seen running off up towards the park again.

2014-12-09 05:55 Teddy's mum Lisa

Off out on my morning dog walk now will search by ram and places he spotted last night

2014-12-09 00:18 zen

i think everything possible has been done tonight no more sightings since i saw him on road towards ram, there is a blanket etc in the porch of the pub, stay safe frankie .. the search will resume in the morning

2014-12-08 23:14 Teddy's mum Lisa

Headed home now
My husband I will head out early with our dogs and search area by ram
He is staying close, sightings all around the ridge and Ram at Bussage
The Ram landlords are leaving food and blankets out
Franky owners have left item that will hopefully attract him to the pub
Fingers crossed he snuggles up now for the night, lots of ideal locations for him to sleep xxx

2014-12-08 22:58 NB

I am planning to be up there as early as I can tomorrow morning. Have not been able to help this eve but sounds like you guys have done everything humanly possible! What an amazing response! Fingers crossed he is found soon and, if not, that he finds a safe place to curl up for the night in his sheepskin coat and is a bit calmer and ready to be found in the morning.

2014-12-08 22:45 Jot cotswolds

It is a very hard search up there ..myriad of tiny lanes, lots of dead ends...a total maze. It may not be easy to get him tonight. Villagers are probably wondering why wacky races seems to have been going for last few hr's..so many folk drove out to help in bitter cold.

2014-12-08 22:38 Jot cotswolds

We got the message abt sighting 1min after it was posted..cars went tearing off down there. Myself and Paul have left the search at 10.30 ..lack of fuel and hypothermia (!). Praying this 10.21 sighting leads to good news. He is focused on road by ram inn bussage. Advised owners to leave clothing item by the bowl of food outside ram inn entrance

2014-12-08 19:45 DogLostMe N My Girl - Administrative Volunteer

Admin perhaps the "found" ID should be changed to "sighted only" perhaps message wasn't read.

Have put on Facebook too

2014-12-08 19:38 Gino

Owner has been told via FB that her dog is found. This is not the case and Frankie is still missing!

2014-12-08 19:19 Jot cotswolds

If it was still around crackstone at 4pm it had been there since about 2pm..so may have tired and is hanging around. May have taken back Rd past Gatcombe towards Minchinhampton as an alternative to Avening direction. Woefuldane farm worth contacting...and the park home site at Hampton fields

2014-12-08 19:16 Mollychops

Owners posters need going up in this area asap . Lots of them

2014-12-08 19:10 janey

2014-12-08 16:36 Jot cotswolds

Just spoke to man at Burnt Ash Stables (opp ragged cot) who saw it at lunchtime...nobody could get near it..it tore off down the road towards Crackstone and Avening (so could have gone from there towards Tetbury or towards Nailsworth)..will try to call owner now with this news.

I saw this dog 1.30pm today haring up Hyde Hill....at least 3 cars tried to help but the dog was moving too fast...he seemed to have disappeared either before or at the top of the hill. I have just been another drive around for 30-40mins but couldn't spot him. he could have headed over the commons again or over towards Avening/Tetbury or over towards Cirencester. He seemed to be sticking to the tarmacced road rather than heading over grass. Worth alerting Gatcombe estate.

2014-12-08 15:51 Teddy's mum Lisa

I have shared poster and the updated info all over facebook and emailed to friends in the area.... fingers crossed he is found soon xx

2014-12-08 15:40 DogLostMe N My Girl - Administrative Volunteer

rang and told owner about Found ID 79459 (sighted only )

2014-12-08 15:34 NB

Frankie went missing whilst walking on Rodborough common this morning. There were lots of sightings initially along the Cirencester Road. He was then spotted on Hyde Hill and in fields near nearby (across the road from the Ragged Cot pub).
Last sighting was near Toadsmoor Road so he may be around Bussage/Brownshill/Brimscombe/Chalford/Eastcombe areas. However, he is moving very fast and is clearly panicked so may be further afield.
His owner is out looking for him and posters are going up in the areas he has been sighted this afternoon. Any help putting posters up and looking for him will be gratefully received!
