- Brilliant outcome in the end though it shouldn't have happened in the first place, Tootsie you are a star for escaping and fortunately being taken in by Battersea. Well done everyone involved, give yourselves a pat on the back. Stay safe Tootsie.x.

- This is just the best news cos I'd been so worried and angry about the circumstances of how this gorgeous girl had gone 'missing'. Poor thing she must have been so frightened at being away from her family and home comforts. Of course a huge THANK YOU and WELL DONE to Sheeren, DDAWatch and her family who've never given up on their girl. I expect that she might even enjoy a little game of football this afternoon. Welcome home Tootsie!!!Last edited: 2010-10-05 10:48:15 by Millys Mum

- Don't understand your 2 posts snoopdog. "This dog was on a website" Where are the owners supposed to look? No idea what you mean by "Staffie Cross Female - Brierley Hill DY5 Staffie Cross Female Tan with white markings Collar DX399 Honey found Dudley DY5 on 31.07.10 " Can you be more explicit?

- Have there been any sightings of Tootsie at all?
- 2010-08-15 21:47 Chris
- Have placed missing poster in Hatfield near swimming pool. Hope you get some good news soon.
- 2010-08-15 21:21 Border Girl
- Thanks for e-mailing the poster through. I will print off and put one in the car window. Stanborough Lakes are close to the Police Headquarters in Welwyn Garden City, if possible, maybe the owners could put some posters up around there. Tesco at Hatfield is also not that far away, so maybe posters could be put there. I'll put some posters up at Morissons, and Cole Green Garden/Pet Centre. Hope there is some news about Tootsie soon.

- More info - A Hertfordshire family have been left devastated after police seized their much loved family pet …and then lost her. Tootsie, an 18 month old Staffie cross was seized on Tuesday morning after police acted on a warrant believing that Tootsies was a “pit bull type”. As the law allows, Tootsie was seized and taken to a secret location to await an examination to determine if she fitted the standard used for a banned breed. However Tootsies owner Mikala Coulthard received a telephone call later that day to say that when they went to check on Tootsie she was missing leaving her family heartbroken. Mikala says “We have been trying to get some information from the police but they will not disclose any information as to what area she was taken to or escaped from! I understand the need for not disclosing where the kennels are but how can we look for her when we don’t know where to look? All they keep saying is she must have jumped a 6.5 fence and that they have officers out looking for her. Tootsie is a family pet and has never been in any trouble before. She lives with children who keep asking when shes coming home and another dog who is pining for her. Tootsie is friendly with people and dogs and we are worried that it’s been nearly three days now. She will be cold, tired and hungry and we beg anyone to please call if they see her. It may be someone has taken her into their home and we would ask those people to please contact the police on 0845 33 00 222 so we can get our baby back!”
