Just about to do BBC Sussex and hopefully Kelly will be coming on as well.

2017-01-01 16:16 susieq666

So happy to see this! I've been checking his entry every day (without much hope, I have to say - glad to be proved wrong).

2017-01-01 12:13 JulieH

What a fabulous start to 2017 ! :)

2017-01-01 12:06 Unknown

Kelly I think the comments on here say it all!
Keep your little boy close and never out of sight my heart goes out to all the people involved in this awful scenario and with their missing babies and we will all on here keep ever watching and listening for the little lost souls

Now we too have more in common than we knew before ....ha ha....

Keep safe one and all

Kellyrose, I'm so pleased to see Tobias back home after so many painful months and sleepless nights for you and your family....though I can't imagine that you slept much last night either! Dog theft is a completely heartless crime that devastates both the rightful owners and any innocent parties involved. I feel for them too.

2017-01-01 10:03 Unknown

Fantastic news , a great start to the New Year xx

2017-01-01 09:58 DogLostNina

Kellyrose so happy for you all that Tobias is home.

2017-01-01 08:15 DogLostBobble - Area Co-ordinator - Somerset & East Sussex

So pleased to see this little chap reunited. WOW! kellyrose what a New Year gift :)Stay safe now Tobias.

Thanks for the photo, its why we do what we do x

2017-01-01 03:24 Skywalker99

Doglost, you rock! Well done for getting him home...

2017-01-01 01:33 Angie May

Absolutely fantastic news .. I'm so pleased Tobias is home safe with his family.... 😁 xx

Great update. Welcome back home little one and stay safe and close xx

2016-12-31 23:26 Doglover

We could not have had a better end to 2016 and a good start for 2017... Stay safe Tobias.....you are one of the famous dogs now xxxx

2016-12-31 23:02 DogLostJayne - Founder Doglost.

Update from Kelly....Tobias has just been "marking" his territory...Her daughter is over the moon...and this will be the best New year ever....

2016-12-31 22:38 IlovemyboyBarclay

So happy to see Tobias is finally reunited! Well done to everyone involved :)
I've been looking for Tobias every day on selling sites and I'm so glad he has been found safe and well xx
Happy New Year!

2016-12-31 22:21 DogLostSherlock- Area Co-ordinator & Police Liaison - Avon & South Gloucestersh

What a fantastic team hey....so glad to see Tobias home to his rightful owners...yes gives hope to all those still finding home and the work continues. For 2017, I hope we can prove dog theft 'prevalence' to our legal teams and forces so we can have more theft convictions in our courts ...its 'prevalence' that is key ...we know it's increasing but we have to record every single theft and where on the map it is for each force xx
welcome home Tobias...if you read Kelly's posts you get to see the trauma dog theft creates for its victims. Police are victim centric and perhaps they all should read her pain and be educated in dog theft xx

2016-12-31 22:20 kellyrose

Thank you all from the bottom of my heart, I don't know how I have got through these past months, I'm sorry for the late night calls, I can not quite believe he is home. I had a call from Hertfordshire Police to say that they had Tobias at 16.16 today, we left immediately for the 2 hour/ 200 plus mile round trip, looking not too great haha, when he came through the doors he knew us straight away and gave lovely kisses and cuddles, He has clearly been looked after. He is curled up in his bed with his blanket and toys now. It's been a hell of a few months. XX

2016-12-31 21:59 Elaine Tinker and Hemps mum

Wow, welcome home Tobias, what a fabulous end to a horrible year.

I am so very happy for Tobias's family.

Let's hope 2017 will see all of our missing/stolen babies to find home xxxx

Welcome into 2017 Tobias...you are home FOREVER - keep this little man close, he's gorgeous xx

2016-12-31 20:48 Unknown

What a start to the New Year I am so pleased for you Kelly that Tobias is home were he belongs (however I do feel for the people that bought him in good faith)

Let us pray for all the lost furry soles out there and keep getting them home

Stay safely at home young man from now on

Happy New Year one and all

2016-12-31 20:45 Unknown

2016-12-31 20:21 addies mum

I was so hoping this little boy would be home by christmas. So pleased to see him reunited for the new year. Happy new year!

2016-12-31 20:15 #stoppettheft

It's just wonderful News - but it just breaks my Heart to read all the previous comments from the Owner - life goes on hold doesn't it ? :(
I can only imagine how utterly distraught & helpless I would be feeling if my own Dog were to go Missing/be Stolen
Isn't this why we ALL Do this ?
whether it is to be an Admin or a Volunteer or 'simply' to Share to all the Groups we know- tweet too .
WHY, when lovely Tobias managed to escape into the garden - or whatever happened - didn't the 'Finder' knock on the Door & ask if He lived there - or take to a Vet or Dog Warden ?!?
Pet Thieves are pure EVIL - I sincerely hope that the Greedy, Evil, Heartless person who Found, didn't Report & either Kept or Sold On lovely Tobias - is VERY HARSHLY Punished
Welcome Home Tobias - I send very Happy New Year Greetings for 2017 to You & Your Family (who can now sleep well at nights )

I read somewhere that the woman who took him to be scanned had a teenage boy with her, so I would recommend contacting all local schools when they go back, assuming he hasn't been found

From Tobias facebook page today, help needed with postering Ware:
'morning everyone, sorry but there is no news to share with you all. Though I do have a request or two, firstly, please NO more comments re the Vets, secondly if anyone in the area could put posters up that would be a huge help to me. Masses of Thank yous to all that have been so supportive and I'm so sorry there isn't more positive news to share today. K x'

2016-12-29 21:26 Ratel

It's difficult to be patient when we all know he should be returned as soon as possible.

2016-12-29 20:15 Turtle

Me too, must be agony for the owner.

2016-12-29 19:18 animal lover

I hope so too, I am checking regularly to see if there are any updates.....

2016-12-29 16:38 Skywalker99

Hoping he is home soon.....

2016-12-24 12:01 Unknown

Well said Doglover let us leave it to CJ and hold back on our comments for a while

2016-12-24 11:50 Doglover

I personally think new Forest was not where the new owner saw the Ad..,Inthink it was the Jollyes at Harlow which is quite near to Ware.....but all is being dealt with by CJ ....so we all just need to wait for the good news xx

2016-12-24 11:03 AlisonH

Admin are aware and dealing with this.

2016-12-24 10:50 DogLostRavenette - Area Co-ordinator - West Sussex

Agree Baydogs and Skywalker. It is believed that Tobias is in the Ware area and if you see C.Js posts below you will see that things are moving in the right direction and that fingers crossed he will be back with Kelly very soon x

2016-12-24 10:49 Mary

Thank you Nina.

2016-12-24 10:40 Baydogs

To take your new pet to be scanned/chipped at your local vet would be the actions of any genuine person. Why would anyone genuine travel miles for such a small procedure?

2016-12-24 10:20 Skywalker99

Nina, dog was scanned in ware, so assumed his new owners are there, but they bought him in the new forest.

2016-12-24 10:17 DogLostNina

Mary I have contacted admin to tell them. Its possible that admin are trying to juggle Christmas shopping and doglost during this busy time. Be assured Jayne/admin wont hesitate in making contact when possible

Last edited: 2016-12-24 10:19:21 by Nina

2016-12-24 10:12 DogLostNina

Thanks Skywalker99 so are we to think that possibly the thief lived in the New Forest or the new owners do or someone does connected to this story. They may just have used Ware as a cover story

Last edited: 2016-12-24 10:20:04 by Nina

2016-12-24 10:09 Mary

Nina. Has anyone from DogLost emailed Kellyrose yet as she requested below?

2016-12-24 09:59 Skywalker99

Nina, the new forest is from Tobias' Facebook page, I think the woman told Tobias' owner she bought him in the new forest. Bay dogs, I read that, I believe Tobias/Billy was taken in to be chipped (again from his FB page) so why would they not take details? Tobias owner was on the radio again last night.

This is what the veterinary group say on their website regarding registration-
http://www.waltonlodgevets.com/cms.php?pid=165

The welfare of your animals and pets is our utmost priority. You can register yourself and your pet at Walton Lodge, by downloading our client registration form. It will help speed the registration process greatly if you are able to print off and complete the form prior to attending the surgery. Please bring with you the following documentation to accompany your registration:

A form of identification (Driving Licence, Passport etc.)
A recent Utility bill as proof of current address
Your pet's vaccination record card if it has one
Pet Insurance Certificate if your pet is insured.

But perhaps if a dog was simply brought in to be only scanned....?

2016-12-24 09:26 DogLostNina

I have re-read Doglovers message and am puzzled as to where the New Forest come into being. Has anyone thought that Tobias could be in that area and that Ware is a 'red herring'....just my thoughts!

2016-12-24 09:17 Skywalker99

I find it very hard to believe that someone took a dog to a vets to be chipped and they did not take any details, do they offer a walk in service for chipping? Whoever has Tobias/Billy...you will be found, so do the right thing now and give him back.

2016-12-24 08:48 Skywalker99

Have emailed admin to make them aware of your comment kellyrose

2016-12-24 08:14 kellyrose

Morning, I have been trying to email admin but the emails keep bouncing back to me, could one of you email me so I can reply please, see if that helps. Thank you

2016-12-23 17:50 Doglover

Although the vets do not have CCTV the vets isnin a parade of shops like an L shape and one of the shops is s newsagent and I am sure they would have CCTV. The person that has Tobias told the owner that she bought him from an Ad in Jollyes Pet stores in the New Forest.....I have phoned the New Forest store and the Harlow Store which is near to Ware.....I was informed that people put ads on their board for two weeks....once the two weeks is up the ads get thrown so unfortunately Jollyes do not keep details...such a shame.....

Sounds good. Person who has him - PLEASE don't panic and just dump him. Take him to a vet, or a kennel, if you can't face the police. He deserves a happy ending to this story.

2016-12-23 15:32 DogLostCJ - Police Liaison & SE Regional Coordinator

Any one looking for this dog please remember they have now called him BILLY.

2016-12-23 15:16 DogLostCJ - Police Liaison & SE Regional Coordinator

AS Tobias was scanned in Ware we think the person maybe from this area- however they may just have used the vets as a one off. What police are now doing is getting details of the withheld number made to owners when they stated to her in a phone call they had Tobias. Once police have the number the net will be closing in so if i were that person i would think twice about keeping him any longer.

2016-12-23 15:12 DogLostCJ - Police Liaison & SE Regional Coordinator

The vets kept no record of who bought the dog in to be scanned.They do not have CCTV. Appeals are out by Sussex and Herts police. Who ever has bought Tobias needs to make contact as they have bought STOLEN goods. Alerts are going out to this area and someone must know who has this dog. The longer they keep him the harder it will be for theem.
Do the right thing and make contact now as many eyes are out there watching.

2016-12-23 14:57 DogLostJayne - Founder Doglost.

We are working on it....

2016-12-23 14:40 Skywalker99

I'm sure there is lots going on that can not be shared until Tobias is home. Although must admit, not sure why Herts police are not also sharing his details on FB...just wish he was found and home.

2016-12-23 14:37 DogLostJayne - Founder Doglost.

Just spoken to CJ...as police have broadcast for help we can now do so by sending alerts out to Local helpers Iin SG10,11,12,13,14.

2016-12-23 14:33 DogLostJayne - Founder Doglost.

Trust me things are in place ....it some times takes time....CJ is working together with the police....

2016-12-23 14:17 susieq666

I get sad and frustrated reading this. The police seem to be going through the motions, but there should be enough of a 'trail' left - via the vets etc. - to find the dog. Another scan would then reveal all, and he could go home. Am I naïve? I hope this gorgeous little dog gets to his rightful owner soon.

2016-12-23 13:59 Mary

CJ although Tobias is now shown as stolen his name is still shown as Tobias located. Could it be shown as Tobias sighted in Ware Herts? People local to Ware could then print and distribute. Unless of course Tobias has been located.

The vets where Tobias was scanned is local to me. If there's anything I can do to help please let me know

2016-12-22 18:10 Unknown

Well done Kelly Rose for telling the story so well, even though it was so upsetting for you. We have supported the story with some social media. For those that don't know, presenter Roberto Perrone has a Chihuahua himself and is always sympathetic to local cases.

2016-12-22 17:23 Skywalker99

Thank you Nik...KellyRose must be beside herself....and I can't help think his new owners must be waiting for a knock on the door....if they are reading this please do the decent thing and hand him back, you have been horribly duped but he is not yours!

2016-12-22 17:07 Unknown

Tobias's owner will be on BBC Three Counties at about 5.45pm talking about this extraordinary story. I will be adding what the vets should have done and didn't !

2016-12-22 17:03 Skywalker99

Tbh having read the Sussex police appeal I am wondering whether they are being at all proactive in this....I hope I am wrong.

2016-12-22 14:33 Skywalker99

He's also in the Herts Mercury http://www.hertfordshiremercury.co.uk/mystery-surrounding-theft-of-dog-now-believed-to-be-in-hertfordshire/story-30003521-detail/story.html
Does this mean the vets have no idea who came into them last week? Really?

2016-12-22 14:30 Skywalker99

Don't get......CJ says been asked not to send out alerts but Sussex police can plaster all over their website and Facebook page? https://sussex.police.uk/news/mystery-of-tobias-the-chi-chihuahua/?utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=SocialSignIn&utm_source=Facebook
Unless things are going on that we do not know about......

2016-12-22 14:29 Doglover

Praying for some really good news soon for Tobias and his family...It has to be what is best for Tobias...the new owner can always get another dog...but Tobias family needs him back. Xxx

2016-12-22 14:03 Unknown

Thank you for your updates CJ
We are all best placed to take CJs advice as she certainly knows what she is doing
I realise how frustrating and extremely upsetting the whole situation is for all involved but let us pray for the right outcome here!
Tobias family have kept their search going for this lad and never given up hope in finding him

2016-12-22 10:55 DogLostCJ - Police Liaison & SE Regional Coordinator

Until i get notification from police i cant change to stolen. Police have asked i do not send out more alerts till he has the details needed and can sort with the other force.
I know is taking its time but better to act along side police to get this sorted with best outcome for owner.

2016-12-22 08:33 Skywalker99

I hope the police officer follows up today....the reasoning behind why he didn't get the info yesterday sounds like the person he spoke to at the vet needed to speak to someone more senior before releasing the information. Fingers crossed Tobias will be home soon. Agree about his status Mary.

2016-12-21 22:46 Mary

Admin. Should this dog now be shown as stolen and is it possible for alerts be sent to the area the vet is in and surrounding postcodes for any sightings of this dog?

2016-12-21 14:00 Doglover

I believe that Petlog recorded the actual time of the scan so the Vets will be able to marry this up with whoever had an appointment at that time, or whoever was on duty at that time...

2016-12-21 11:13 DogLostCJ - Police Liaison & SE Regional Coordinator

An officer from Sussex police has been allocated spoken to owner and he then called me to update. He has phoned the vets and awaiting requested details. It seems the person at the vets who scanned the dog is not working today and they do not seem to record anything when they do scan! He will call back if not heard by tomorrow and will keep me updated.

2016-12-21 10:14 Skywalker99

From Tobias' facebook page:
'Sorry no update yet.
I have barely slept since Friday, to be honest it's all catching up with me, Since August my focus has been Tobias, My children hardly had a summer holiday, they walked miles with me , handing out leaflets and putting them through doors, entertaining themselves whilst I searched the internet for hours on end, Hollie never complained, not even once. I have ploughed through these past 137 days with one focus and that's to get our boy home. On Friday, day 132, I received a call that completely knocked the wind out of me, I collapsed to my knees, crying and unable to breath, he was alive, he was OK, the relief, but then the news they didn't want to part with him. Tobias is a little dog with a huge heart who has made a massive impact on not just the lives of my family, but all of you as well.
I'm unwell, I have a terrible earache and I want to sleep for days, not yet though, not until our darling boy is home with his family, where he belongs, to be showered by love from everyone who has missed him, particularly a little girl who adores him and has never given up hope that he will be found and only asked for him home for Christmas and a little boy with special needs who found a best friend in the most unlikely of places. #bringtobiashome #chihuahua #teamtobias'

2016-12-20 18:46 Skywalker99

This must be so frustrating for kellyrose, on the one hand she knows her boy is safe so all those horrible thoughts about what may have happened to him stop...but she has no idea when she will see him again...hope the police process this quickly.

2016-12-20 10:04 DogLostCJ - Police Liaison & SE Regional Coordinator

Now spoken with owner who has my contact details if needs further help. Sussex Police have allocated a CRN but it is still under investigation. The team dealing will speak to owner and i have asked to be updated. This should be done withing 48 hours of the report. Once they have spoken to owner they can inform her of what will be done. I have spoken to Herts police where the person at call center who took the call gave advise on correct procedure.

2016-12-20 09:34 DogLostCJ - Police Liaison & SE Regional Coordinator

Spoken to a nice man at petlog who has recorded the CRN so details cannot be changed. Dog is marked now as stolen.

2016-12-20 09:03 DogLostCJ - Police Liaison & SE Regional Coordinator

Making contact with police but been off sick for a few days- hence my lack of input- after a small procedure in hosptial on Thursday think i caught a bug and spent weekend in bed fighting it off.
Now getting back to my normal police mode so seeing what i can do to sort this out!

2016-12-20 06:01 Unknown

OMG Kellyrose everything crossed for you I have only just seen this (I have a sick dog so not on here much at the mo)
I truly pray he is home for Christmas you have my email addy if you need me
GOOD LUCK HE IS YOURS I do of course feel for the person who bought in good faith so sad this sort of thing keeps happening peoples feelings have to be thought of in this!

You should get your lovely dog back. If you don't then this case could set a very dangerous president for future dogs that are stolen/lost - finders are not keepers regardless. YOU kellyrose are the rightful owner of this dog. Tuff for the person who bought this dog without any genuine paperwork or previous proof of ownership - Tobias goes 'Home'

2016-12-19 20:03 Skywalker99

Jayne, couldn't agree more, but one victim was well and truly duped and has learnt a lesson the hard way. However, Tobias needs to go home. I hope the scumbag that pocketed £700 can be traced....and it should be noted that the people who do this can and do provide false paperwork (see Ginny the border terrier whose new owner was given forged chip papers). Shouldn't his status now be 'stolen, rather than lost...

2016-12-19 18:55 Turtle

Really hope you get your lovely little boy back soon. ☺

2016-12-19 18:20 IlovemyboyBarclay

I'm so glad he has been located xx I really hope he is home for Christmas :)

2016-12-19 17:09 DogLostJayne - Founder Doglost.

The law agrees....but the law takes time...we are working on reducing that time....by communicating.....and as always there are two victims when a dog gets stolen and sold on...the owner and the new "owner"...Both are in turmoil at the moment.

2016-12-19 16:46 susieq666

It doesn't matter that the new 'owner' paid money for him. He was stolen! This used to happen with cars, until routine checking before buying took hold. Whoever had handed over money, simply lost out - their problem. I'm not suggesting for a minute that cars and dogs are the same. I hope the person who paid £700 knows who they paid it to, and that it wasn't a 'carpark' deal, but anyway, the dog is not theirs to keep. Surely the law agrees.

2016-12-19 16:34 ClaireC

The dangers of buying pets from the Internet selling sites sadly or from supposed breeders! Hope the latter "owner" has a receipt for the £700 paid!

Kelly has done all the correct things and spent hours at the police station....now has a crime number and an officer from Herts and one from W.Sussex working on the case...watch this space.....home for Christmas would be great as that was theonly thing on her daughters list to Santa....

2016-12-18 19:11 Campion3

Oh Kellyrose what a rollercoaster! Luck should not be a factor here, Tobias belongs to you and all this nonsense about someone else not wanting to hand him over is just awful. For now he is safe and I really hope with the help of the people at Doglost he is soon back home. Keeping everything crossed he is home very quickly.

kellyrose - sometimes Admin dont get to read all the comments are there are so many - as a back up could I suggest you send an email to admin@doglost.co.uk with Tobias name in the header and giving the information below asking for advice. Hopefully, other members will see your comments and offer advice. My suggestion is that you need legal advice.

I received a call at 17.47 on 16th Dec, from a lady saying she went to get him chipped and he already had one with my details, I said I wanted him back, she said her daughter paid £700 for him, she doesnt want to give him back, what do I do?

2016-12-18 09:28 kellyrose

Tobias' chip was scanned at Walton Lodge Vet Group on Friday 16th December. 9, The Green, Hertfordshire, SG12 0QW 01920466355. Seems the lady who called me has him, however the vets went against data protection and gave my details. I can't speak to anyone until 8.30 tomorrow morning. Any further advice would be appreciated in how/where I go from here.

Very similar chihuahua currently offered for sale in Portsmouth on the Preloved site. Probably not Tobias but everything should be investigated.

There was prominent article on Tobias in the Chichester Post on Friday

2016-08-26 07:11 Unknown

Good luck today Kelly everything crossed for you here

2016-08-22 21:04 kellyrose

The Chichester post have spoken to me this evening and will give him a page on Friday, hoping to reach people who don't have the internet.

2016-08-21 14:57 Unknown

I was really praying for some sort of news after Tobias was in the paper
Where are you little one?

2016-08-18 16:11 Skywalker99

it says on his FB page that there is now a Reward for Tobias safe return

2016-08-18 13:05 Skywalker99

any chance of getting him in the Chichester Herald as well as the observer? Also...any churches that do parish newsheets?.
Also...Gyms, community centres, clubs. I would also contact cleaning and care agencies as these go into peoples homes, plus local taxi firms and postmen (get a poster in the sorting office)

Well done for getting him the local paper now fingers well and truly crossed for you

Keep strong Kellyrose

Come on Tobias little man you need to be seen

Stay safe darling xxxx

2016-08-18 11:46 kellyrose

Thank you so much for your kind support, I take on board all advice and we really are doing all we can, I am totally broken, I just don't know what to do now. We have been offered a reward for his safe return but I don't know how I can word it etc, will figure something out and get it up today. Thanks again x

2016-08-18 11:10 Skywalker99

Also....I think it would be very unusual for a fox to ave taken him? I know there have been instances but they do not see dogs as prey?

2016-08-18 11:09 Skywalker99

From Tobias' facebook this morning: Last night was particularly hard to get any sleep, imagining all sorts of things that could have happened to Tobias, I wake every morning and hope he is downstairs waiting for a kiss and a cuddle and for me to take him outside and find that these past 12 days have been a nightmare, they haven't though and this is very real. I do understand that some people can't understand fully my grief at not having him here and wonder why I continue to look and don't give up now, he isn't 'just' a pet, he isn't 'just' a dog, he is a huge part of our family and we all love him. I can not accept that he was only supposed to be with us for just 6.5 months, I can not believe that any higher power would give us something that filled our hearts with such joy just to take him away again. He has to come home, he just has to.

2016-08-17 14:57 Ratel

I hate to mention it but have any foxes made an earth in neighbouring gardens? They certainly are living in urban Chichester.

2016-08-17 14:40 Unknown

Skywalker99 I have mailed Kellyrose on everything I can think of I am sure they have done everything possible and still are, also I mentioned in one of my earlier posts about checking sheds and Network Rail ect
But please keep your thoughts coming all are appreciated as there is always something anyone may have forgotton
Keeping everything crossed for the local paper tomorrow and good news hopefully!!

2016-08-17 13:47 Skywalker99

no chance he got trapped in the garden or a neighbouring garden? Have notces gone up at the hospital? They should also have an intranet system for staff...wonder if they would put something on there? I'm guessing family can't offer a reward or they would have done so...so the person who has Tobias needs to give him back. Now.

2016-08-17 12:21 Unknown

Really heartbreaking I am watching sites ect for him my husband knows the owner and how desperately hard they are trying to find him he was out looking as soon as he went missing
Come on Tobias lad please be seen

2016-08-17 11:40 Skywalker99

Tobias facebook page is public so if you click on the link in the thread below you should be able to see it...this is one post from it:
'So, as we reach the start of the second week the pain has not eased, I woke up this morning and simply cried, Tobias is our whole world wrapped up in a tiny bundle and I'm left wondering how anyone can do this, can keep him when they must know there is a family who are missing him, How will we heal from this? I am feeling guilty for laughing because, well, how can I? how can I laugh,smile or play with the children or laugh at something from the telly when Tobias isn't here! I feel as though I am betraying him in some way by simply smiling. Today we are adding more posters around the area and surrounding areas as some have been removed. We are also worried that he won't get scanned, what if he is at a vets or kennels and they haven't scanned him, it isn't compulsory to, yet it is law to microchip but the two don't go hand in hand. What if he is there just waiting for us to pick him up, If we don't within a week he can be re homed, how is that right or fair? So many thoughts run through my brain 24 hours a day, he is forefront in my mind when I am awake and when I sleep. Somebody somewhere knows where he is and I'm not quite sure how you sleep at night and carry on with your day when you know there is a family going out of their minds. Today will be productive again and hoping against hope that my phone rings!'

2016-08-17 07:08 Unknown

Skywalker99 I like many people am not on facebook so I can only read the open profile page ones, I have tried to find Tobias with no luck but can only imagine what another family are actually going through shear devastation

Keeping everything crossed for you Kelly that Tobias goes in the local paper this week as it covers a really large area, if someone has picked him up not realising they should report finding him they will hopefully then get him scanned.

Not everyone realises they should report a found dog and Tobias would if found by such a person melt anyones heart.

We have his poster up at my work place in Midhurst as well for you.

Stay strong Kelly and family

Come on Tobias you need to be back home where you belong.

Stay safe little one xxxx

2016-08-16 15:55 Skywalker99

if anyone wants an insight into the emotional turmoil wreaked by loosing a beloved pet they should read some of the owner's comments on Tobias' facebook page.

Have removed the house number.

2016-08-15 16:05 Skywalker99

should full address be on here? However having looked at google earth would seem unlikely Tobias got out of the garden by himself....so who could see into the garden? who knew you had him?

2016-08-15 12:08 Skywalker99

Tobias now has a facebook page. https://www.facebook.com/bringtobiashome/ he went missing when owner's son went into the kitchen to get a drink, so a young child is feeling very confused.

2016-08-13 08:34 Skywalker99

Tobias is only 10 months old.

2016-08-10 06:53 Unknown

Kelly I have mailed you please keep strong you are doing a great job trying to find your boy.
Fingers crossed for news or a sighting soon
Keep safe Tobias people are looking out for you xxxx

I feel so sick and scared for my little boy. We have shared where we can, enquired where we can, looked where we can, postered, leaflet dropped, stopped to ask people in the street, door knocked. looked in bushes, on roundabouts, in bins, we are doing all we can yet feels like it isn't enough!, I don't understand how, if he is being kept by someone that no one knows, someone does know and I feel incredibly incredibly sad, I don't know how we will get over this if he doesn't come home

I really hate putting this but have you made Network Rail aware, Highways, checked sheds, garages anywhere he might hide sounds silly but sometimes dogs are afraid to make a noise if they are stuck anywhere.
We as humans just assume we would hear a dog barking or crying but I know from expierience this is not always the case.

Did you manage to get him the local paper? they are always more than willing to help

Come on Tobias please be seen but most of all Stay safe little one until you are found xxxx

Thanks Janet, have just replied to your email. I was told about Tobias last night and advised that he was put on the main site. I was hoping that he would be handed in to the DW or a vets this morning. Fingers crossed he is found very soon x

2016-08-08 07:26 Unknown

Just to add my husband works for the local council in Chichester so he will make people he works with aware

Not sure but I think my husband works with and knows the owner?
