It has been reported that 2 dogs have been sighted straying in Hatfield and one of the dogs looks a similar breed to Buddy although the photo was of poor quality so we just don't know how significant this is if at all. We haven't seen the photo someone else didLast edited: 2018-07-18 13:04:16 by Buddy

Hi Dolafich I couldn’t find your post unfortunately. Would you be able to pm the video to our FB page Buddy Come Home
Thank you x
Dolafich
Look my name up on ‘Godalming and villages community board’ Facebook the video is on there. My husband also thought the dog had a collar on. I really do hope it’s him as I’m a dog owner and I don’t know what I would do with out my dog.
Also I’ll tell my neighbors is they see the dog to call the name buddy out.
Dolafich
I have a video of a doggie that looks just like buddy. I don’t want to get your hopes though. We’ve had a dog wondering around mine and my neighbors gardens for months, we haven’t been able to catch dog. The doggie has been stealing boots and shoes too. We live in Milford Surrey. If you would like to contact me by email I can send you the video as I’m not sure how this webpage works, or you could look up my name on Surrey dog Facebook page.

We're trying to trace a lady who was walking her dog over Rabley Heath a few weeks ago and who took a leaflet from a volunteer. They think she may have seen a dog matching Buddy's description possibly. Lady is described as 50-55 yrs old brown/grey bob hairstyle, glasses was walking a large Schnauzer type dog. Drove a Royal bluish small hyundai car. Hoping she rings doglost
Buddy
It wasn't Buddy in Digswell local dog groomer said its a local dog and we have ruled it out now unfortunately. Buddy was only sighted once in the night he disapoeared. Put an appeal out on FB no info received as of yet. Only thing we have to go on is an anonymous phone call received in April from a woman who saw his poster in Stevenage

Owner, refer to my original emails as you need to do the scenting now - safely away from roas and rail and any camp sites. Set up a feeding station where he has been seen butu slightly hidden for his safety - he will pass that way again - but do NOT share that location on site. Not on any site at all. Leave old jumper in the area he walked and do scenting and re poster. Patience now and twice daily replenishment of food and water. You can sit and watch, dawn and dusk, but more importantly keep that food supply going although you need to know who is eating it. Lead the scenting to the food from the areas he has walked. REMEMBER do not shout, call quietly, as he won't know its you immediately if you see him and this applies to anyone who sees him. Right now anyone is a potential threat, so keep low, quiet and watch. Talk quietly but enough for him to hear and recognise voices. Do NOT chase or he won't want to come back there and we don't want that. If this is Buddy, you are almost there - you REALLY can get him home - slowly, step by step. We can talk you through each step as it arises. Come on Buddy, let's get you know sweetie. x

Still missing.No sightings or news of Buddy's whereabouts. We think who has him may have changed his collar and tagged him which would throw people off the scentLast edited: 2017-07-09 14:45:57 by Buddy
Mary
Buddy. Hopefully you have given police all the details and they are following this up. It might be an idea to contact all the rescues, vets and wardens in the area to remind them Buddy is still missing. Also check DogLost received your email with CRN as it has not been upgraded to Stolen yet. So sad to see Buddy has still not been returned to his family.
Buddy
The lady who made the anonymous call on 21 April still hasn't come forward.
Buddy
Emailed yesterday Jayne x
DogLostJayne - Founder Doglost.
Please send CRN number to admin@doglost.co.uk so we can add stolen. If they have not given you a CRN please email us the station and officer you spoke to so we can chase it up....
Buddy
The police have confirmed that the person who has taken Buddy in and not reported him to the authorities is guilty of Theft By Finding.
We have posted footage of Buddy on his FB page Buddy Come Home
Buddy
We are following up a potential sighting around Highfield Letchworth Hertfordshire. Older lady walking a dog matching Buddy's description. Someone has been close up to this dog but didn't know about Buddy at the time. Also similar dog been seen being walked along A505 in Letchworth by a man in his 40s not sure if its the same dog . We are still hoping the woman who made the anonymous call will get back in touch. Appeal has been posted on FB xLast edited: 2017-05-01 12:02:48 by Buddy

Thank you x
scootjockey
Your probrably aware to keep some bedding or something with Buddy scent on it incase you do ever use a sniffer Dog. Pray you find your Boy x
Buddy
We received confirmation this afternoon that the dog seen at Colney Heath wasn't Buddy. We are therefore stepping up our campaign to track down the woman who made an anonymous call last Friday who was claiming to be from Stevenage.Last edited: 2017-04-26 19:28:44 by Buddy

I'm in the Stevenage area, will share the new fb poster around here. One of these lead s must lead to Buddy eventually.

Alerts resent to helpers in AL2-AL10 due to the recent sighting.
DogLostMichelle Area Volunteer-Hertfordshire
Possible sighting in Colney Heath AL4 0PA please can alerts be sent to surrounding postcodes, thanks
Buddy
Thank you Rachel. Haven't contacted the school yet but have been putting posters out around the area so far x
Missingpetsgb
Have you tried asking the school for information if anyone has seen him being walked? The positive thing if he has been kept, he's likely to be in one place, so not moving around (hopefully).
I'll at least try tweeting the info over to the school later, if nothing, as people in the area might follow and see, if you like?
Buddy
Thank you. That is now the conclusion everyone has come to. A dog matching Buddy's description was seen being walked down the A505 towards Letchworth nr the signpost for St Chrisopher's School a week last Saturday. We're trying to get the word around Letchworth at the moment Last edited: 2017-04-18 20:18:58 by Buddy
Missingpetsgb
Hope Buddy is found soon, been missing so long now, seems no confirmed sightings in a while. He is chipped, so entirely possible someone is keeping him as their own and not reporting him as found. Don't give up, he will be found.
Buddy
A dog matching Buddy's description may have been seen being walked along the A505 from Hitchin heading towards Letchworth nr signpost for St Christophers School last weekend.

Owner, the email addy we have in Admin is not getting thru, pls can you advise us confidentially of an email address to reach you. Thank you. x
DogLostKimmybear - Area Co-ordinator, Essex & Hertfordshire borders
Focus on posters in the area he went missing and then outwards. It really works and will keep your brain occupied on that which will help you. One other thing, have you checked railways as many are accessible even if you donlt think so. You need to speak to Network Rail if not already done so? This is very important. I am going to email you now. Please read it carefully and believe what is written. You really can find Buddy, many, many get home eventually, so deep breath, and onwards we go. Come on Buddy, give us a clue. x

Possible sighting Tower Hill Lane off Coopers Green Lane yesterday after receiving anonymous call Saturday. Why not drop Buddy off somewhere safe?
Buddy
Hi Mary yes form completed x
Mary
Have you completed the online form at K9tracker.co.uk ?
Buddy
Rang K9searchdogs no dogs in the area but wished me well in my search so they really aren't an option unfortunately but thank you cockerspaniellover x
Buddy
Spoke to a vet and explained the situation and the vet is sure someone has Buddy and it's a case of flushing him out and because he is such a distinctive looking dog it will be hard to hide him
cockerspaniellover
Come on Buddy, I am praying for his safe return this is awful xx I know k9tracker is not in the area but while its still fairly recent might it be worth trying http://www.k9searchdog.org
Buddy
Received a phone call from a with-held number earlier. Caller did not speak just hung up. Hoping it's a break through fingers crossed

Hi Ginny's mum have just emailed a reporter from the newspaper. Thank you. Not familiar with local press in Hatfield so any suggestions are much appreciated x
Buddy
Hi Ginny's mum that is a very good idea. Thank you xx
Ginnys Mum
Can you get the Welwyn & Hatfield Times to do an article?
Buddy
Have been in touch with K9 trackers but unfortunately no one in the area
Buddy
That has been suggested, thank you Nina. We still believe that someone has him and that they haven't broken cover with him yet. So they may be leaving him in a garden and that when he eventually breaks cover he could pick up a scent and bolt and then he may ending roaming around. Dog warden in his experience reckons someone has him xLast edited: 2017-01-26 20:00:44 by Buddy
DogLostNina
Has anyone given you scenting advice. By leaving a trail of your worn old socks etc with your scent on cut into small pieces or a trail of pee back to your home. Can work, has in the past, has to be done again if it rains. good luckLast edited: 2017-01-26 19:21:00 by Nina

Hi Nina, he tends to bark at motorbikes and aeroplanes flying over x
DogLostNina
Would he respond to a squeaky toy or a whistle
Buddy
Thank you Nina, my girlfriends daughter did an assembly at her school showing everyone Buddys poster. X
DogLostNina
Try posters in schools and colleges, on poo bins, bus stops
Buddy
Thank you for the advice Mary and Ginnys Mum. There is a poster up at the station. All taxi drivers have a poster. Thank you for the advice on scent trail.
Have left a message with K9 trackers . Really appreciate all your advice xx
Ginnys Mum
Friend who lives in Hatfield has shared on a number of local FB sites. Is there a poster at the station? x
Mary
Make sure Buddy can get into the garden if she makes her way home. Leave some bedding somewhere dry for her.
cockerspaniellover
Have you spoken to any of the k9 trackers? And have you thought about leaving a scent trail ? Xx
Buddy
Hi Mary thank you will do. Have put posters everywhere spoken to the gypsy community who have been most helpful. Dog warden in Hatfiled is aware, contacted the vets and rescue centes
Mary
Buddy, Jenny & Tiga/Yogi would be closer to you. I believe they are already tracking today but if you complete an online form at www.K9tracker.co.uk I'm sure Jenny will be able to offer advice.
Also get as many posters up as you can,get the word out there and check with the Dog Warden, vets, animal rescues etc. I believe warden for your area is contracted to SDK http://www.lostdogsuk.co.uk/
I'm not local so can't help search or put up posters.
cockerspaniellover
No problem at all I have 3 dogs and they are the loves of my life so I can't imagine how heartbroken you are. Tracker would be best, but also ask scenting advice as you should try leaving a trail of your diluted wee and familiar smells from where lost to home as they sometimes trace back xxxxx please keep me and everyone updated and o have all things crossed he is found today and well xx
Buddy
Thank you so much cockerspsniellover for you help it means a lot to me xx
cockerspaniellover
Brilliant and if they can't help take the advice but also try wwwk9searchdog.org xxxx let me know xx
Buddy
Thank you cockerspsnellover I will give it a go
cockerspaniellover
Is it worth contacting k9tracker to see if they can follow his scent in the area and track him down?? This is an elderly vulnerable dog xxxxx
