REQUEST FOR HELP!! A gentleman from the Canal Trust has called this morning to say that there are still posters up along the canal between Rugby and Blisworth. Please, if you have put posters up for Jonah in this area would you please take them down again. Many thanks

FANTASTIC NEWS STAY SAFE SO EXCITED ABOUT THIS XXXX

Brilliant news...we vizsla owners have been sharing like crazy. Huge thanks to all that were able to offer assistance on the ground to help reach this wonderful outcome. I agree about dog guards...I have yet to find one any of my dogs could be contained by so it is definitely worth investing in a proper car crate. They can often be found second hand on ebay or in the dog press.Wishing Jonah and his owners a happy 2017.

2017-01-02 17:17 bullt

Incredibly pleased he is safe now - really hope owner will invest in a proper travel crate for Jonah or as already said a proper & very secure dog guard, but a crate might be the safest - also when tailgate is opened ... if he is given to bolting ! x

Great news....Jonah was spotted by walkers who then saw one of the DogLost posters at the end of the public footpath when they reached Newton.

Oh that is the best news. I am so relieved. Was really worried as it's been 4 days I was beginning to despair and the temperature tonight was going to be -5. Having difficulty typing this message as I'm having a job seeing through the tears. You guys did a wonderful job. Thank you so much. It is comforting to know that so many people are prepared to step up to the mark when one of our furry friends is in need. Thankyou, thankyou, thankyou.

2017-01-02 15:06 Hollieberry

Thank goodness I am so relieved ,please owner get the garage to fit a permanent dog guard those you put in your self are useless .We have what is called a parcel catcher in our car & never had a problem when one of our dogs tried to make an escape & failed.

2017-01-02 14:36 wensmum

Fabulous news Trisha, just seen the fb photo of him in the car :)

Brilliant news you have all worked so hard to find him. Hope he is not too badly injured and makes a full recovery.

2017-01-02 14:12 Helen

That's incredible news! So relieved for him and his family. Was beginning to worry that there were no sightings,

2017-01-02 14:03 Unknown

JONAH HAS BEEN FOUND AND REUNITED!!! He was spotted by some walkers this morning and the Pawprints team responded immediately. They kept him in the area with food until his owner could get there and he is now caught, in the car and on his way home. He has an appointment at the vet this afternoon. Massive thanks to everyone for help on the ground and support given. Welcome home Jonah. Stay safe lovely boy xxx

Update from search team of help they require please x "There are no searches planned for tomorrow. However, we would be grateful for posters being put up in the following places:

Old Brownsover
Newbold (quarry has been covered)
Harborough Magna
Cosford (a couple have already been put up in centre of village)

Posters can be printed direct from Jonah's doglost post.

If you are out walking tomorrow in these areas, we would appreciate looking closely at undergrowth and possible hiding places.

If anything changes, we will post here. Hoping for sightings soon. Thank you all for continued help. We have been out again tonight and have had no sightings. It can't be much longer til we do. Come on Jonah."

2017-01-02 08:57 Heather

I live in the Rugby area. Has Jonah been found yet. I would like to help look for him, what can I do to help?

2017-01-01 19:52 Hollieberry

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for this young lad hope he shows himself soon .

2017-01-01 12:21 Jane

I have vizsla's too, they are a very sensitive breed as you know. Jonah is petrified, he's only still a puppy - this goes without saying. I would think, knowing the breed very well that he's hiding somewhere and concealing himself. He may only come out at night when its quiet. He's out there somewhere...Come on Jonah, we need a sighting. It may be worth going out in the still of the night ( 1,2 3am) when there are no 'day noises' i.e traffic, birds - human noise. When it's so quiet your voice will travel further and he would have more of a chance to hear owner.

Thank you piglet x

Message from search team x "Really appreciate that people want to help and I don't want to alienate anyone but I am soaked to skin and being given lots of advice by text which has already been covered. There is a feed station set up. Dogs home comforts and scent of owner have been down since Jonah went missing and a search dog has been in the area practically constantly since the day after he went missing. We have used drones and thermal imaging. The only thing we can do is be proactive and continue searching, postering and talking to people. Please get the word out of the immediate area incase he has left the area after all fireworks last night. And can I ask that you only text or ring with sightings as my phone is now drenched. Thank you"

2017-01-01 10:43 Piglet

I will poster and ask boaters Braunston to Daventry.

2017-01-01 10:25 Chill

Can I suggest you send tracking dogs into the Industrial areas as he may well have gone to ground here

I've contacted a boating friend to see if the info can be posted on any boating fbk pages/groups. I'll walk from Brainston back towards Rugby tomorrow.

Keeping my fingers tightly crossed for this lad .

People have been out searching all day Barab.....I have been following his page...no news yet though. Xx

2016-12-31 17:57 Helen

I too have been thinking about him and hoping for positive news Barab. Really hope he is found well soon.

2016-12-31 17:35 Jane

Shared Twittered again...

2016-12-31 14:22 Barab

Is anyone out looking for him today? I wish I could be. I haven't stopped thinking about him since we were first notified he was missing. Can't sleep, worried sick. Wish there was something I could do to help although I have shared his info. Praying he is found soon and that his injuries are superficial.

2016-12-30 22:08 Jane

How unlucky to lose the same dog twice! Really hope he's home soon. I know lots are being done to find him. Come on Jonah, show yourself. He must be very scared. Love to the owners, everything crossed for you x

2016-12-30 21:32 Jane

Shared Twitter... please come home Jonah x

2016-12-30 19:21 Hollieberry

Would anyone with a tracking dog help due to last sighting ?

2016-12-30 16:14 Doglover

Hoping he will be found soon xx

2016-12-30 15:34 DogLostMax - Area Co-ordinator - Cornwall & Area Volunteer - Durham & Ireland

How devastating for the owners. Hope he is found soon. Have shared.

2016-12-30 15:07 Unknown

Despite constant searching since first light we are sadly no nearer to bringing Jonah home. This is what we know so far.

Jonah's owner was travelling along the M6 with Jonah in the back of the car behind a dog guard. For an unknown reason Jonah started displaying signs of distress and forced his way past the dog guard and into the main body of the car. The next thing his owner knew was that Jonah was standing on the button for the electric window, which started to go down. In a panic, he attempted to stop it from opening but was too late and Jonah escaped from the car.

Highways England were informed, along with the police and the local council and Jonah's owner searched for him. He was spotted by a member of the public near to GAP warehouse and he barked at the man from the other side of the fence. He was also seen in Crows Furlong on the Coton Park housing estate and may have been seen a second time there later on. There has been a possible sighting today very close to the industrial area but searchers were unable to find him.

The company that Jonah's chip is registered to are aware that he is missing. All local vets have been informed. Posters are being printed and we hope that volunteers will help to put these up this afternoon/evening.

It has been disappointing to see some people jumping to conclusions and passing judgement on Jonah's owners. We ask everyone to please share Jonah's DogLost poster and do as much as you can to support Jonah's family, who have had a massive shock and are distraught that he is missing.

Thank you for your help xx

Jonah jumped from a moving car on the M6 near Rugby - I have used local postcode to area he has been sighted in

e was last sighted an hour ago near Gap Warehouse. He is injured, and has also ran into barbed wire. Hungarian Vizsla, tan coloured, 9 months old, male name of Jonah. He is chipped and wearing a blue collar. Any help in the area please? Just heard last sighting is Castle Mound.
