Thanks Jim for posting that. Yes after 3 very long days of searching, we had a call from a lady who saw her in the Daisy Dip area of Southampton, somewhere where she had been seen several times, we were only minutes away but there was no sign of her. Within an hours many volunteers were putting up posters, taking flyers around and walking through the extensive woodland. We planted burgers, frankfurters and sardines to tempt her back and put some sausages on a bbq hoping the smell would bring her out but when we left at 10pm, no sign. We came back at 4am with a large pack of mackerel, we sat for an hour before I had to get on a train to Cornwall. Debs went back and carried on sitting, suddenly one of our other two dogs barked and when Debs turned around Sapphy was 20 ft away but very wary. She kept going away out of sight but did keep coming back, using advise gleaned from DogLost.co.uk and GSD's united, Debs stayed on her knees and did not look at the dog, very hard to do. It took her 20 minutes of coaxing and treats to get her close enough, it just shows how quickly they forget their owners, something which again we heard from those sites. Car update fronty written off but dog safe!
It was once said that the Devil would never dare to cross the River Tamar into Cornwall for fear of ending up as a filling in a Cornish Pasty.
