nicky H Posted June 8, 2008 Report Share Posted June 8, 2008 (edited) Benson is a BDRNE dog, he was rehomed in Nov 2007. he went missing on a walk today, whilst hiking up a mountain he ran off, he usually has perfect recall but today, something has caught his attention and he ran till he was out of sight. He went missing from St Sundays Valley in Patterdale - Cumbria. They were hiking, so this is not a busy place, so it will be hard to sight him. This is an hours drive away from his home so it is unlikely he will find his way back. He doesnt have the best of hearing as when he arrived in rescue, he had an untreated ear condition which resulted in his ear canal being removed. He has been sighted by 1 couple who were walking past, but he was quite far from them (he was still up the mountain) Benson never barks, but the dog they seen was barking alot and seemed distressed so he is obviously trying to find his way home if there is anyone in the area, please keep an eye out. His owners main concern is that he will find his way off the mountain and into a field of sheep. He will chase them and it doesnt bare thinking about what might happen if he does. He is wearing a collar and tag, and is microchipped. Edited June 8, 2008 by nicky H Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherlock Bones Posted June 8, 2008 Report Share Posted June 8, 2008 Nicky - the owners need to scent. If he's an hour from he will try and get back home - but they need to go and get their scent to the last place he was seen, along the route they travelled from and hopefully to a safe place there. If you need more advice, email or pm me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sherlock Bones Posted June 8, 2008 Report Share Posted June 8, 2008 OK no probs. If they were hiking they may well have had a map with them. If so - see if they can see the direction of home, the place he was lost from and the place he was seen in. see if they make a triangle... he may be using his nose to find home - if so it'll give them an area to work on, and a route to scent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
