tootsmazza Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 This little girl went missing last Tuesday after slipping out of her new family's house and running into the vast rural area surrounding them Tina, an ex-racing greyhound, had only been with her new family for four days and was still very timid. She went to ground and despite dozens of friends, family and GAL volunteers searching day and night and several sightings we had no joy. Today one of her owner Gary's drivers spotted her drinking out of a stream and he and six of his staff headed out after her. She was eventually caught by a female member of his staff and is now safely at home. She has a cut on her chest which needed stitches and is thin but she is home and safe. It is a wonderful end to a story which does not always end well. Sadly dogs like Tina, who have little experience of homelife and trusting humans don't seek out people when they go missing and often disappear forever. There is a five-year-old boy tonight whose new best friend is back in his arms. We rarely get to tell these stories so I am delighted to share it. Marie PS Tina was adopted on Friday the 13th, so we should have known it wouldn't be plain sailing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
