Hello bloggers
There's a couple in Cambridgeshire, Jon & Shelley Haggerwood, who are in the same boat as us after losing their Bracco Italian hound, who had their story in national press yesterday (thanks Pete & Bren for spotting it). They are "7 weeks behind us" but are at the point we were at the 3 week mark (Jacob went missing 21 Jan). It was good to share notes and sympathies, and I suppose for them to know that they are not the only ones, although that doesn't help much does it.
Jon gave me 2 excellent contacts for 1) a man whose bloodhound has a track record (excuse the pun) for finding other dogs and 2) Canine Search & Rescue who have an experienced person to help us at the stage we are at.
In return I offered them some strategies for a sighting (the walkie talkies, map with vantage points, call-out list for help, etc that we've developed) and suggested a Blog, as it's so useful as a way of everyone being in touch.
Good luck Jon and Shelley! Jacob - get out there and be seen!

Yes I have been following Jacob's story closely too. They, like you, have been following every avenue . Both these dogs are in our paryers every day and hope they will both be home very soon. All I can say is keep on going-dreadful experience, I know because we lost a dog some years ago now but we did get her back :-) Remember to update doglost too as well as the blog cos lots of helpful folk with experience on there.
