krusewalker Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 Hello Guys I got this as an email at my rescue centre. I thought i would post it on here to help these people, as per the request in the email. The situation sounds awful. Hello friends As you may already know, we have been desperately trying to find our missing dog Jacob, a male Bracco Italiano who has been missing since 21st Jan. I know you have most probably had numerous emails from either me, or our friends who are helping in our search, but right now I am writing to you as the focus of our search has changed. On Monday evening we had a call from a lady on a mobile (number was shown) and who told us they have Jacob. The call was short, as if she was disturbed and had to go. We have desperately tried in vain to get to speak to the person on the mobile number again, many (many) times and left messages and pleas for this person to get back in touch with us. I have additionally sent texts to the phone asking for them to let us know he is okay, to take him somewhere 'safe' for us to get him, and asking if it's about reward money. So far, the phone rings and is aborted to answerphone every time one of us calls. I am told that hoaxers do not usually show their mobile number, it kind of defeats the object of them calling up. Knowing this obviously adds to our concerns for our boy. We have contacted the police, who seem helpless (or is that unwilling) in being able to trace the callers mobile due to their "certain criteria". This shocking lack of help just makes this all the more upsetting. If Jacob were a motorbike or car, then the 'criteria' would be helpful no doubt. So, yet again I find I am left with no alternative than to take the matter into my own hands, and therefore I am asking you to email Jacob's details to as many people as you can, and keep an eye out for him in your rescue, or at work or around your local area. He could turn up just about anywhere now. If you know of rescues (large or small) in your area, can I ask you to please kindly send them the email to make them aware of Jacob's plight. I have tried to cover all areas but cannot guarantee to know all the smaller rescues that I need to contact. We all send those chain letter "send to 8 friends" emails round like wildfire, and I hope that we can do the same here but for more of a purpose. Someone must know about Jacob, and through word of mouth we hope that it can feed back to us of any information of his whereabouts. We are just utterly desperate to find him. I really do appreciate your time is precious, so Thank You for reading this and passing it on to anyone and everyone you feel can help us spread the word. Kind regards & Thanks Shelley Haggerwood http://missingbraccojacob.blogspot.com/ If anyone knows anything about this or could help, that would be great. I have emailed Shelley to link her to this post. There is a poster, but it came as an attachment to my email so im not able to copy that onto here, but if you contact Shelly yourself or check the blogspot that would be great.

Laurel n Hardy Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 the mobile phone networks can help trace the phone in question and which tower the signal is being relayed from. that alone would narrow down the search, and if its not a cloned phone then they should also have an address as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherlock Bones Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 You can't do that without Police consent, Nige. And as this is a missing, not stolen dog, there will be no crime and thus no incentive for the police to trace anything. We've only once managed a phone trace and that was because the thief called and made demands whilst the owner was on a landline to the police at the time and they heard the call... It's a difficult one but there are obviously priorities in tracing calls and dogs, unfortunately, are not (understandably when you consider murders etc).

ReikiAnge Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 I read the blog regularly and from a post earlier this week: http://missingbraccojacob.blogspot.com/ I understood that the phone call had been resolved and that unfortunately it was a young girl playing stupid games and she doesn't have the dog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReikiAnge Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 I have just been reading the latest update on this poor dog and his family - and it seems some horrid woman has been trying to get to know the owners in order to defraud them. I just feel sick for them, to find this out when they thought the woman had seen their missing dog Please keep an eye out for Jacob: http://missingbraccojacob.blogspot.com/ Obviously very much missed by his family Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
