No it's not live. There is one train which usually goes up and down mid week. If he is near the line, then I doubt he would have survived this long out in these conditions :-( Am more concerned about the river. Especially now as there have been no sightings :-(

Is the railway track live. If so has somebody contacted them? Poor boy hope he is found very soon x

Yes have been asking people to check corners etc. It's unlikely he will be able to get into gardens, because there is a steep climb, a fence and a railway track before you reach any houses. Myself and a friend went on to check out every little possible hidey hole this morning but no sightings at all, and nobody locally has reported any sightings either which is very worrying.

Setterville, please would you make sure people check behind garages and sheds in area he went missing? A door to door flyer drop asking people to check around outhouses is useful. Ancient dogs can get themselves tucked away in odd places, and behind sheds is a favourite.

Sorry some misleading info on earlier posts. Have changed postcode back to SA18...apologies to those helpers that received alerts for CF postcodes....but please do share anyway.

I think he's made a mistake and left an m out. He's used the Welsh spelling of Glanamman which is Cwmamman because the dog is definitely missing from the Garnant/Glanamman vicinity, I walked with the owner this morning.
Geoff Davies (who posts as Gruffydd) and this is where we were. Thanks everyone for sharing.

I have shared with doglost FB & Twitter. Hope Bertie is safely back at home soon. X

So sounds like Glanamman not Cwmaman then! The person posting is Gruffydd Davies, is this the owner? If so, could he be asked to amend his post as shares will be going to the wrong place?

This is the Facebook post of the dog saying missing https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=951159588303106&set=o.357634327646698&type=3&theater
says "Lost in Cwmaman on the Riverside Walk 6th February 14 Year old Irish Setter" which is a different area? Area for that one is approx Cwmaman, Aberdare, Rhondda Cynon Taff CF44 Could this be clarified please which is the correct location. x

Definitely SA18. He was lost on the river side walk which runs from Garnant to Glanamman. According to the owner, he crossed the river from the Folan Road direction, followed the river towards Glanamman, when he got to the bridge which is not far from Star Animal Feeds he noticed Bertie had gone. Please circulate this information far and wide. If somebody hasn't picked Bertie up and looking after him, then I hold out very little hope that we will find this poor old soul alive.

any help with this post please, this dog is circulating on facebook as being lost on riverside walk Cwmaman, which many are actively looking out for, but according to thi the post code area is SA18 which is deffo not Cwmaman near aberdares code, please could someone confirm?>?

Bertie needs to be found urgently .Please help look for him if you are in the area .

2016-02-06 18:34 setterville

We have got some posters on the go now. Owner tells me that the dog is incontinent and has bowel problems, therefore if someone is holding onto him then they will have discovered this by now. I have already contacted local vets, so if anyone presents him there, hopefully the vet will realize and make contact.

If you have jot got a printer just get some A4 paper for now and write in big with details of your dog, this will do for now. But some local shops and maybe a library will hVe a printer or stationers perhaps.

2016-02-06 13:35 setterville

A lot of walkers are out there searching for Bertie but no sightings. We really need some posters around the area. If anyone has a printer please can you help. So far nobody seems to have a printer, or one which is working.
