Hello, a female dog, believed to be a Cockerpoo, has been found straying in Hemyock. I know it is a long time, etc, but thought it was worth sending you the link to the facebook post, just in case, by some miracle...Good luck

Sadly Janiejewel its not a good enough sighting to say it was Toffee... Its not a sheep or cow and they said through binoculars it was a dog but its not enough to ask a Tracker dog to go in yet xx
Unknown
If Toffee has been sighted on land. Could a Tracker dog be used? Paws xd she is home soon
Seeks
We (thsts hideous foster boy & I) have covered that whole area with posters ....They really are now everywhere.

Went out as far as Brixham

We banged on doors, called into pubs, cafes garages, farmers and pounced on folk in the lanes etc.....

At Beesands I really thought I had struck gold....A dog just like her with someone crouched down trying to catch her.....Its actually a dog called Lucy and does live there.

That one doesn't go near the sighting area though and nobody I spoke to knows a dog like that in tha area.....There are now so many posters etc out the message is getting out there much better.

We just have to hope there are more sightings xx

Seeks you are fantastic .....please if anyone else can help to get in touch through here xx

POSSIBLE SIGHTING...

A lady who was on holiday was off shore on a boat at the week end and saw a dog through binoculars that was on its own running in and beside fields between Stoke Fleming and Lenords Cross

Its absolutely the right area but we don't know if its Toffee.

I going back up this afternoon (maybe after 4 pm but it will be this afternoon) and will bang on doors, crawl the lanes and try very hard to find out who was that dog.....

I running off more posters to and will now clobber that whole area very hard with posters xx
Seeks
Ratfinkz really hope your feeling a lot better?

Please just let Toffee's family know we are trying all we can to get news. I just feel for them as its such a horrible tragic accident.

I got my real car back yesterday so going up to poster that whole coast. This time they are laminated so will stay up longer. Going to go up to Sidmouth then poster home rather than poster away fro home so its all on the way back so will get it all done.

We are a few miles down but if the family or you need something looked into local just ask xx

Ratfinkz
I'm sorry I've been out of touch for so long, been quite poorly, in and out of hosp etc. Feeling really stuck to know what to do to help with a) living so far away and b) having started all this for friend of MIL who i also live a long way away from and am not in regular contact with! It's a weird one! I am so grateful, and I know owner is so grateful, for all you are doing though, please feel free to drop me an email if there's anything I can do / you need to know anything from owner and can't contact her though. Best email for me is: s.williamsnash@gmail.com in the meantime I shall keep checking here, reading the found section and keep an eye on what's happening locally to me that I can help with and pay it forward so to speak!

Sorry about the echo Reception issues again xx Last edited: 2017-08-23 13:36:03 by Seeks

Bless you Chris. The coastguards said much the same to us when we rang them but it just depends on if she swam i the right direction.

My car should be back with luck Friday so will go up the A30 tur right to Exmouth them poster right back to Slapton etc before going back to the A38.

This lot are being laminated so will stay up longer to. Lets just hope eh? xx
Chris
Coast Watch people at Prawle Point knew of her and said the currents would have taken her eastwards so also did Gara Rock footpath but not further west.
Seeks
Thanks Chris. We really do just have to try for her xx
Chris
We'll try and poster Prawle Point round to Gara Rock, Hope Cove and Bigbury on Sea tomorrow, i.e. further west along the coast from Slapton/Start Point.
Seeks
Myrath good idea... Will email them as we really are desperate for help on the second half of that area.

We got a bit of help today from Sidmouth with a Whats On agency doing some posters and also trying to help get us some local support in Sidmouth.

We must keep trying to clobber that whole area with posters so running off more and a lovely lady is going to send us some to. This next batch will be laminated as they last longer. Then once my real car is home will go up again.... With that car you don't feel every mile.... Its easier to get in and out of to ;-)

Thanks again and will go email them now xx
Myrath
Any news on Toffee poor baby? If you follow radio exeter they will inbox you and if you tweet them with the # they give you they will give you shout out but as a thought perhps sending them direct message they might give you shout out for more help in the Start bay area. just a thought x

Well done team Toffee....
Seeks
Bless you Chris I so glad you did that as I couldn't find the way up there. Even with a big flashing light lol I have no idea how you get to it

I did find something call Start something or other just up from the village of Slapton.

Did every telegraph pole I saw as well as foot paths that said coast and Bridle ways. I know I went to Slapton and Slapton Sands. Is it South Molton? Little Dartmouth, Dartmout proper (they wont stay up long as on lamp posts) then a load of places I have no idea the name of.

Went up with 150 posters but got so wet, then the pain started so sadly only got to Dartmough not Brixham....

Chris if you need more posters I have around 30 in bags already xx

Chris
Put posters up in Torcross, Beesands and Start Point today.

'Fraid not :(
Mel
Don't suppose there is any news on poor Toffee?
Ratfinkz
Thanks for the replies, don't know if they've been contacted or not? Sent message to owners. I am away for a long weekend this weekend but can contact people thurs / fri if needed. If anybody is able to do so sooner please feel free! Owner may contact some - but don't know how internet savvy she is to find contact details. This is hard doing it all second hand, please bare with me!

I would also contact harbour authorities at salcombe. There are an awful lot of private yachts down in that area...worth contacting/postering marinas?
DogLostGeoffA - Area Volunteer - Cornwall, Scotland & Northumberland
Has anyone contacted local boat hire folk in case one of their customers picked Toffee up and mentioned it to them? Similarly fishing boat operators who work out of nearby ports such as Dartmouth and Brixham, both commercial and private fishing trips.Last edited: 2017-08-13 12:25:42 by GeoffA - Area Volunteer - Cornwall, Scotland & Northumberland

Please no negative posts or I will ask for them to be removed we just need to help if possible with any ideas of who to contact for posters. We have all made errors in our lives, which looking back if we could of changed we would we now need t otry and locate toffee if possible x
Unknown
Ratfinz.just a thought but send a couple of posters by email to the French fishing boats .could be someone else picked her up?I am not sure who to contact, maybe their French Embassy would help. Also all the local fishing companies .really am praying for good news for Toffee xx
Ratfinkz
Thank you for all the shares, help etc. Dog went missing from boat couple of miles out to sea during a fishing trip. As stated I am not the owner, she is a friend of my Mother-In-Law but doesn't have great IT knowledge so I am helping by posting here/ fb etc. Whatever the whys and wherefores of what should / could have been didferently, the fact is there's a dog, hopefully out there somewhere, a long way from home and likely scared,and as a dog lover myself I had to help all that I could on the off chance we can find her. I don't know times / tides etc but will find out- thank you to those who are helping! X

I am sure the oweners are feeling bad enough, bereft and distraught without people voicing their opinions. This is so sad.Last edited: 2017-08-12 14:14:24 by Skywalker99
