Sorry to see that Oscar has been missing for so long. all xd.

2013-04-18 10:56 Reynard

Sorry no positive news on Oscar whereabouts , but thinking of him and you Michelle & Jon xxx

2013-04-15 21:46 Michelleand Jon

Keep walking the area near the camel trail but still not seen him. :(

2013-03-10 22:27 Michelleand Jon

Been out walking miles of camel trail and woodland with Emmie but nothing at all. God please let me cross Oscar's path one day soon.

2013-03-07 22:28 bazil

Great, this sounds positive, hope he is seen again very soon, come on Oscar, you are nearly 3yrs old, got to be home for your birthday xx

2013-03-07 20:48 DogLostESSJ - Area Co-ordinator Bedfordshire

Bumping due to sighting- ooops sorry about his bithday- was looking at that calendar and didnt realise i was a month ahead lol xxx time to share you again Oscar lad, please share and ask everyone you know to share him especially if you are near Bodmin or the areas close to the camel trail. X

2013-03-07 20:25 Michelleand Jon

I was stopped in Asda carpark this evening by a young girl and her dad who saw the missing dog poster on my car. The girl was out riding the Camel trail a couple of weeks ago and a dog looking like Oscar was following her. At Shell woods heading towards Tresaarett. He was all mattered up on his chest and she asked people she came across to be told he looked like a farm dog. I gave her a card with the number our telephone numbers on. So it looks like he maybe back in the Shell wood area.

2013-03-03 20:49 Michelleand Jon

Jane Oscar isn't 3 until 18th of March. Got some more fliers out today with the north cornwall dog walking group. Also gave out about 500 fliers at Pencarrow on Snopdrop Sunday with the guys from K9 crusaders. They were absolutely fantastic and a lovely bunch of dog loving people. Thank you for letting me come along to help and hand out missing fliers.

Oscar's 3rd birthday was two days ago. Please remember while keeping a look out for him that he will be an adult dog by now and lost that puppy look. As always - thinking of you and Michelle & Jon. xxx

2013-02-12 00:25 bazil

Always sneakily checking dogs that could be Oscar. Praying one day soon someone somewhere sees this gorgeous boy xx

2013-02-09 17:15 DogLostKimmybear - Area Co-ordinator Essex and Herts

As I've said with Molly CM post code, would everyone print a little photo of Oscar and keep it on you. Everytime you see a spaniel, have a secret peek just to check. One really never knows when Oscar will crop up. Michelle & John, you and Oscar are always in my thoughts too. You have all become so special to us. xxx

2013-02-08 16:54 jobadger

There isn't a day goes by without me wondering where you are sweetie. Stay safe until you're found. xx

2013-02-07 17:05 angi

Oscar is always on our minds and we will continue to support michelle and jon until he is found xxxxx

2013-02-07 16:43 DogLostESSJ - Area Co-ordinator Bedfordshire

bumping up to keep Oscar in every ones minds. He is out there somewhere we are sure. Please keep sharing him and joinand share his group on facebook https://www.facebook.com/groups/201568339878730/ come on Oscar lad, please go home now xxx

2013-02-07 16:14 Michelleand Jon

2 years today Oscar disappeared from our lives, it has never been the same with him. We look for him everyday and will do until he is back in our arms. We wish all the long term missing dogs could be reunited making families whole again. x

2013-01-24 12:15 Michelleand Jon

No other news :(
Myself and friends keep looking in the area but nothing as yet. He seems to be having me on the run, not knowing if its definately him or not.

2013-01-17 17:28 Elise

Im praying this is your oscar!

2013-01-16 09:43 Spindle

Everything crossed this is your boy. Come on Oscar.

2013-01-15 22:24 bazil

Hope this is Oscar for you Michelle and Jon. Fingers crossed, good luck xx

2013-01-15 22:07 Michelleand Jon

Thanks Jane. I think he maybe sticking to the Camel trail route to get about cos all the sightings are very that far away. I'm going to try to get hold of farmer to ask for permission so set up a baiting station.

2013-01-15 22:01 DogLostESSJ - Area Co-ordinator Bedfordshire

Possible sighting of a springer/dog similar to Oscar about a mile from Washaway nr Pendavey Farm. Not very far from some of the other sightings from last year. Bumping. Fingers Crossed Shell xxx

2012-12-20 17:11 Michelleand Jon

The food had been taken but the camera didn't trigger. So left more food, nice smelly liver but that had not been taken this morning. Left some fresh food and checked the camera was working properly. Come on Oscar show yourself please I just want to see you with my own eyes or a picture of you so I know its definately you that people have seen.

2012-12-17 10:44 Michelleand Jon

I left food down on Friday and went back the next day and it had gone. Walked round the area with Izzy (my springer bitch who is in season) but didn't entice him out. May have found a few spots where he could be bedding down. I checked on the food situation this morning but none has been taken since I first put it down. I have put a patch of cornflour down so I can check for footprints as even when Izzy cam with me, she left no footprints at all. My wildlife camera is all charged up and ready to go, but not quite sure which will be the best area to put it.

2012-12-15 00:57 bazil

Praying the St Tudy sighting is Oscar. It would be absolutely wonderful if he was home this Xmas. Good luck x

2012-12-14 20:56 DogLostOwl

The St Tudy sightings look very promising, have just been talking with Michelle.

2012-12-14 19:58 sue

A post has just come up, that dog has now been claimed. Sorry to get hopes up. Hope Oscar is found soon.

2012-12-14 19:39 DogLostJayne - Head Office

ESSSJ...Thats great...sorry only reading the messages...recent ones...cannot read them all....with phone ringing all the time...if you need more alerts going out please email me ...tx

Dog very similar found bodmin Cornwall. Tel Nicole on 07927905274 it was on my Facebook a crossposting from the dog house. Hope it's him.

2012-12-14 18:57 DogLostESSJ - Area Co-ordinator Bedfordshire

Actually the dog sighted in ST Tudy today could very well be Oscar(bumping was due to the post at 12.57 noting a new sighting that had just taken place), The lady who sighted him said dog seen is VERY similar and will - along with her co workers - be keeping an eye out- especially now this dog has been seen more than once in close proximity- she will try to take a photo next time. New posters are up and all in the school are aware to keep an eye out for this dog. Hopefully this is the break we need that will bring us to him- Michelle has found somewhere close by where he could be hiding out and has left food there to see if it is taken. Everything crossed for you Michelle xxxLast edited: 2012-12-14 19:04:35 by ESSJ - Area Co-ordinator Bedfordshire

Tx ESSJ for your ongoing devotion to your breed...sad its not Oscar...but a bump is well deserved

2012-12-14 17:02 angi

oh please let this be Oscar!!!. Everything crossed xxxx

2012-12-14 13:37 DebsAndGreg

Everything crossed this is Oscar

2012-12-14 13:02 DogLostESSJ - Area Co-ordinator Bedfordshire

The male spaniel found in Bodmin has been reunited with owner, Thank you Focusqueen for keeping Oscar in mind, every comment and possible sighting or found dog posted are so much appreciated x

2012-12-14 12:57 DogLostESSJ - Area Co-ordinator Bedfordshire

possible sighting of Oscar in St Tudy again about an hour ago, helpers on way there and person who sighted him is trying to get a photo, Seen in a field from what i can gather from Shell, Michelle will update a bit later, i have absolutely EVERYTHING crossed!!!Bumping

2012-12-12 16:22 Focusqueen

On NWESSW Facebook page there is a male spaniel that has been found in Bodmin, realise it a long shot but could it be Oscar, the dog is being advertised on gum tree.

2012-12-10 15:16 bazil

Hope the sighted dog is one of them and found safe very soon x

2012-12-09 18:28 DogLostESSJ - Area Co-ordinator Bedfordshire

bumping just in case it is Oscar, have also bumped Tilly x

2012-12-08 21:56 Michelleand Jon

I have been up the A30 with a man that called about a springer crossing the A30 a few weeks ago, the dog looked in a very sorry state, soaking wet through and bedraggled. He could not tell me if it was Oscar or not because it happened so fast. As the sighting did not register straight away with the man we drove up to look for a familiar stretch of road and it could be one of 2 stretches of the A30. One stretch is Launceston and the other is about 1.5 to 2 mile east of Cheriton Bishop. So if you live in any of these area's would you please keep your eyes open. It might or might not be Oscar but it is dog that looks like he is lost and trying to find its way home. Rang and left a message on answerphone of Tilly's owner ID 45970 as she is missing from Cheriton Bishop and the sighting was on the same day 26th November.Last edited: 2012-12-08 21:57:24 by Michelleand Jon

I have put a poster up inside the village hall this morning, managed to catch it open. The outside notice board is covered. I don't know St Tudy well so working a little blind. Didn't see anything of him this morning but will try again after work.

2012-11-20 02:58 wickedweims

Zim there were posters in the hall but dont know if still there

2012-11-19 22:16 DogLost VolunteerZim

Is there a poster inside and outside the village hall?

2012-11-19 22:13 DogLostKimmybear - Area Co-ordinator Essex and Herts

Oh! come on Oscar xxx

2012-11-19 20:26 Michelleand Jon

The sighting was outside St Tudy village hall about 8ish on Saturday evening (17/11/12)

2012-11-19 17:47 DogLostESSJ - Area Co-ordinator Bedfordshire

Thanks for the text earlier Michelle- sorry havent had a chance to bump before- but bumping now for possible sighting xxx Please let it be Oscar , keep safe and show yourself again lad xxx

2012-11-19 16:46 Michelleand Jon

We may have had a possible sighting of Oscar on Saturday night in St Tudy. A lady of Bodmin's buy swap sell group on facebook has commented on Oscar's video that she saw a dog very much like him on Saturday night. Please if anyone is in the area, make sure you have our numbers in your phone 07751 208298 michelle,07939 726019 Jon, 0844 8003220 doglost, if spotted please try to get a photo on phone if you have the ability.

2012-11-19 16:44 Michelleand Jon

It does look very much like him but longer fur and slightly different features, this one has spotty feet and Oscar never had spotty feet. If someone has castrated him its possible his fur could grow and as he's got older his features could have changed a little. Going to have a look closer and compare photo's.

2012-11-19 00:36 Gypsy

MichelleandJon - Have tagged you in on FB so you can see the dog Jackie is referring to. xxx

2012-11-17 19:12 Flo

I REALLY REALLY wish it will be your Oscar's turn very very soon. You have been waiting too long x

2012-11-15 10:00 Michelleand Jon

He was in dogs today magazine back at the start of the year. There is not a day that goes by that I don't wake thinking of Oscar, asking myself if today is going to be the day that I find him? Is he out on his own or as somebody got him? Is he ok, got shelter food and water? I have got all the equipment ready, trap, camera etc just waiting on a sighting so I know where to put it. I know that when I find him (if he's been out on his own) he would be ferral and it will take time to get him back to his old loving self. I just want him back so much. I read of other dogs been reunited and are happy for the owners but sad at the same time cos I wonder when it will be Oscar's turn to come home.

2012-11-14 22:19 Reynard

I think of Oscar a lot and would so love for this boy to reunited with Michelle & Jon, Has Oscars story been in the Dog mags such as Dogs to day?

2012-10-07 21:59 Michelleand Jon

Been out putting more posters up today. I jut pray that if he is still out living rough that he has food, water, shelter and he is safe. God I miss him sooooo much.

2012-09-04 22:42 DogLostKimmybear - Area Co-ordinator Essex and Herts

Not sure if owners have read these posts? Texting them ,just on case. x

2012-08-19 23:18 Flo

Incase you haven't seen it yet check found 42263- An ESS has been found with a Jack Russell at the Devon boarder, filthy and hungry. No other details yet. I would love it if this was Oscar x

2012-07-27 00:04 scootjockey

As always willing your boy back safely. Oscar is always in my mind love Tays mum x

2012-07-26 14:05 bazil

sophiesuds, thanks for checking, Michelle and Jon I can definately rule out dog ID 41425 is not Oscar. This dog has a white body, I have shown Oscar's photo to someone who saw this dog and it's not him. Good luck with latest sighting x

2012-07-24 09:27 MSPickles

Fingers, toes and paws crossed here for Oscars safe return after all this time xx

2012-07-23 21:19 Reynard

Oh my its hard to express what wonderful news this is
Praying for you xxx

2012-07-23 21:03 sophiesuds

There is also another liver and white with full tail been caught after some adventures but not in your area. Now held in RSPCA Northumberland but sounds like he has been on the run a while so worth a call at least. Again on the found list No1425.

2012-07-23 20:57 sophiesuds

Hi sorry to see Oscar is still missing but well done for keeping the search going. Have you read the details of the sighted liver and white spinger spaniel that is listed on the found section. From the description it sounds similar to Oscar may be worth a look. Not sure of how far this is away from you but the amount of time he has been missing he could be further away. The number is 41499 hope it is him you deserve it. Paws crossed.

2012-07-23 20:40 Gypsy

Sending postive thoughts to you both and hoping with all my heart that it won't be long now before you get your beautiful boy home xx

2012-07-23 19:39 DogLostJayne - Head Office

OMG---tx for the update....

2012-07-23 13:07 Barney 'n' Ozzie's mum

Keeping everything crossed for you Michelle and Jon. If he's staying near the Camel Trail at least he will have a plentiful supply of water!! My Facebook picture was taken at the picnic area at Shell Woods, so hopefully this is an omen. Are your posters still up along there? Maybe he's living on left over food at the picnic areas? Also I remember a pub we went to right by the Camel Trail, but can't remember the name of it at the moment. Have you postered all the pubs, etc along the trail? Should be lots of people walking along there now in this glorious weather. Hope you get another sighting soon. Love to you both, Alison xx

2012-07-23 09:48 Michelleand Jon

Message passed on by Sue who helps me look for Oscar
I saw a woman yesterday at bodmin asda who says she saw oscar about 3 weeks ago in the layby on the a30 she had stopped to answer her phone when she saw him she got out the car to get a photo but he saw her and did a quick u turn and ran into fields again but she says if he tries to cross again where he was it will take him down the lane to shell woods which hopefully could mean he still in that areaxxx dunno if any use really but thought i wud pass the info on x

2012-07-22 23:10 DogLostOwl

I've bumped him up to top as another sighting has come in, just been reported from 3 weeks ago, at layby on A30 not far from Shell WoodsLast edited: 2012-07-22 23:13:16 by Owl

2012-07-11 17:13 Michelleand Jon

I'm hoping to get a search/dog walk together this Saturday 14/07/12 on the Camel Trail starting from Great Shell Woods (between Blisland and Helland,Bodmin) around 2.30pm if anyone would like to join in. My Oscar and another Oska (terrier) are missing from this area plus Gimblet the greyhound. Meeting at Great Shell Woods car park at 2.20pm

He is such a gorgeous boy cannot imagine what you are going through I saw this video a while back and it filled me with tears I do hope you fidn him safe and well

2012-06-11 16:19 Michelleand Jon

Still no news of Oscar. We have had to move from the cottage now, so neighbour keeping a look out for him. Will get back to searching more when unpacked. If any new sightings please contact the mobile numbers.

2012-05-21 22:48 bazil

Gutted for you Michelle and Jon. Come on Oscar boy, be sighted again please x

2012-05-21 18:33 DogLostKimmybear - Area Co-ordinator Essex and Herts

There may be a reason for this collar sighting, so don't worry. Who knows it could be something that Oscar checks on his triangle. I'd still pop something back there, just in case. You are doing so well. I know it must be so incredibly hard living your life like this, but you are the most fantastic owners and so deserve to find your precious Oscar and soon. x

2012-05-21 14:05 Michelleand Jon

I hope so because if someone gets hold og him at least they will have a number to call.

2012-05-21 13:00 NickyJ

:( At least it means he probably still has his collar and tag on.

2012-05-21 11:39 Michelleand Jon

Ggggrrrrrr its not Oscar's Collar. It's my Izzy's, I totally forgot she lost it. I suppose it was me hoping so much that he would be close to home. So back to the previous sighting down near the Camel Trail between St Breward and Blisland. Sorry guys for getting hopes built up, I'm gutted.

2012-05-19 21:46 DogLostESSJ - Area Co-ordinator Bedfordshire

Oscars collar was found by the lady vicar who married Michelle & Jon nearly 3 years ago. It was founds by the track leading to their drive and gate- not far from home, intact, buckle still done up, not rusty like it had been laying there for ages.speculating but this area is walked probably daily and i am sure someone else if not Shell and Jon would have spotted and picked it up before now had it been there for any length of time. Come on Oscar, Please go Home xxx

2012-05-19 21:37 Spindle

So so many people willing Oscar back home. Please let this be the break that is needed for these great owners. Everything crossed.

2012-05-19 20:36 Scrappy2010

Please God let this be Oscar. Getting nervous for his owners. Wouldn't that be just wonderful:))

2012-05-19 20:36 Tigermouse

I've just read all this right from the beginning, what a roller coaster time you've had. I'm much too far away to help but just wanted to wish you good luck in finding Oscar; keeping everything crossed here that the latest news will lead to something more positive and he will be back home with you soon x

2012-05-19 17:37 bazil

Excellent! I have gone all goosebumps when reading this...just praying this helps to lead you to Oscar. Fingers crossed xx

2012-05-19 17:26 lesleyjane

Wow, that's good news, wonder how long ago she found it? Hopefully recently and a scent trail can be laid to home as suggested! xx

2012-05-19 16:24 Stroodsue

awe, this is good news, Perhaps a scent trail back to HOME from where this collar has been found.. again! a new trail, keep doing a new one, every couple of days, same route. good luck! Oh can you post the Facebook page here please thank you

2012-05-19 15:26 DogLostKimmybear - Area Co-ordinator Essex and Herts

Oh my goodness! It is very likely that this will be part of his triangle if he is still on the loose; he could well be. These dogs are so clever at surviving in the wild. This could also serve as one his sniffing points as he goes around, so I feel that you need to replace it with something else that still smells of home. A permanent marker, well scented. So if he does come past he will still know its the right place and will also know that this is a new home smell, so may stay around there. So hope this leads to his safe and speedy return. If he isn't on the loose, this could also be a link as to who may have picked him up and give you further clues as to what direction to go in next. So many wishes and prayers are out there for you and sweet Oscar. x

Bumping. Waiting for more info on where etc. Thanks for the call Shell. I so hope this is the turning point to better things. Come on Oscar lad. Give us more signs x x x

2012-05-19 09:13 Michelleand Jon

We have had a message on our answerphone from a lady saying she has found Oscar's collar on the moors. I have rang back but got her voicemail. When I get hold of her I will ask where on the moors she found it, this may give us some idea of which direction he went in.

2012-05-15 18:58 Michelleand Jon

Scented from the Camel Trail at Tressarret up through Blisland towards home, managed to get the the end of our road before ran out of scent in bottle, so improvised half way down the road back to home. I hope you manage to smell your way home Oscar, we only have a few more weeks left here.

I sent This Morning an email but Oscar wasn't featured :(

2012-05-09 12:40 jobadger

You always said you would find him at a car boot - maybe this is it - i have everything crossed for you & Jon xx

2012-05-06 08:40 DogLostESSJ - Area Co-ordinator Bedfordshire

Didnt get a chance last night as computer died a death- bumping. Please please Oscar, Make it home soon before your mum and dad have to move. Please everyone-If you know someone in this area then ask them to share Oscar and his facebook page or youtube video again, talk about him in the pub, put more posters out or generally make people aware that he is still missing.x https://www.facebook.com/groups/201568339878730/

2012-05-05 22:23 Michelleand Jon

We have had a bit of good news. We went and stood a carboot sale and had Oscar's banner up on the side of the van. A gentleman said he could have swore he saw Oscar 2 days ago near tressarett just down the road from Shell woods (on the camel trail) heading up towards Blisland. This is not far from home. He looked bedraggled like he had been out for a while, he hopped over from a hedge into the road. I'm hoping that he has took some notice of the communicator and is trying to find his way back. Please Oscar try to find us boy xx

2012-04-10 17:41 NickyJ

Sending you all best wishes and hoping for some luck at last. Nx
PS. My dog is about 8 years old, he's the same cross breed as Oscar, and they look very much alike. My dog was picked up having been living feral before I got him and all I know is I have no doubts at all of his ability to survive on his own, find his own food, seek shelter and live out in all weathers.

2012-04-09 22:52 Michelleand Jon

Have been walking down by the railway, took Izzy with us as she is in season but no luck as yet.

2012-04-05 21:58 Michelleand Jon

No news unfortunately. I have been posting leaflets to houses that back onto the railway line. Also called the dog warden's office to inform them of the latest possible sighting. I think a search over the weekend would be a good idea. Will try to get something together for Saturday. Watch this space

2012-04-05 10:42 jimjams

Any news? Do you think a search party over the weekend may help?

Nothing to report, no sightings or any leads. Have given the post mistress some more fliers to give out to the postmen, even wrote on the back reward to information leading to Oscar's return. Wish we knew something that could help us get him home.

2012-03-21 19:05 Flo

Michelle and Jon I am so sorry you still haven't got your boy back. It must be so so difficult not knowing. I really wish you both all the luck in the world and hope he is back before his next birthday x x x x

2012-03-19 15:33 Michelleand Jon

Oscar was 2 years old yesterday. Can't believe we have missed both is 1st and 2nd birthday. We lit a candle next to his photo and wished for him to come home.

Bumped et to possible sighting. Sorry took so long but had no internet access. X

2012-02-13 10:28 Michelleand Jon

We had another possible sighting yesterday at Colquite woods (on the Bodmin to Camelford road) This dog had a different coloured collar on though but we are not ruling it out as someone could have taken him in and he got loose again. The food I have been leaving has been taken every few days.

2012-02-10 19:03 LCJR

Still spreading the word and been sending the link to his you tube video far and wide. Keeping everything crossed for his safe return SOON xx

2012-02-02 16:50 Michelleand Jon

I have been leaving food there every evening since we got the call. The first night the food went but it hasn't been touched since. So this evening I'm trying sausages his favorite and see if they get ate.

2012-01-29 20:14 DogLostKimmybear - Area Co-ordinator Essex and Herts

With collie in this boy, he could survive very well in the wild. Look at all the collies on this site that have done just that. So come on Oscar, lead your family in the right direction if you can, boy. So hope this is you. x

2012-01-29 12:10 DogLostESSJ - Area Co-ordinator Bedfordshire

Bumping Oscar due to Possible sighting of a dog similar to Oscar near colquite- eating from rubbish- def a dirty springer type dog of the right colouring but not def Oscar as lady who sighted had a fleeting glance and when she turned round and went back the dog was gone. Michelle has been over to check out yesterday but saw nothing, she will be going agin today just in case. Good luck and fingers firmly crossed that this is Oscar xxx

2012-01-25 10:49 Michelleand Jon

This has been put on Oscar's facebook group.

Might be nothing, but someone seems to think they have seen a springer cross with beauty spots in a grey car outside a vets on Friday Between 4.30 and 5 ish.. I only found out today. The vets is in Launceston, the dog was in a grey car apparently being hyper. The vets number is 01566 772211. I would say it is worth a phone call Michelle if nothing else. I don't want to get your hopes up but please phone them.

I have called the vets and the lady that I spoke with could not help beside ask us for details of Oscar. I have sent them 2 posters in the past to find out they get taken doen after a month so I have emailed them and sent another poster in the post.

2012-01-23 20:23 angi

2012-01-19 18:13 Helford

I have now spoken with Michelle

2012-01-19 17:46 Helford

I 'shared' the video on Facebook today. My mother in law added a comment a little while ago: "Tuesday last we were waiting at the bus stop in St COLUMB MAJOR and there was a similar dog roaming on it's own on the grass verge. I remarked it should not be out without someone.... The bus came along so I could not do anything about trying to find whether it had a collar." St Columb Major is about 6 or 7 miles from Roche, where there appears to be a past sighting, my MIL is not really a 'doggy person', but I feel that I should pass it on. Happy to pass on her phone number.

It has been a very difficult last 11 months. Its the not knowing that bites. We try to stay positive and pray for some good news. Still go out searching but there hasn't been any sightings really since the end of September. We'll NEVER give up on him.

2012-01-10 18:38 STORM70

hi, god this must be hell for you, i really hope he turns up. im currently in sussex but i will be moving to cornwall in march and be spending time around bodmin, i will keep my eyes open for him but hopefully he will be home with you by then. good luck

2012-01-08 18:05 Flo

Hi Michelle and Jon, I am so sorry you haven't had any new info to help in your search for your dear Oscar. You are so determined to find your boy and I am sure sooner or late that you will, I just wish it was now. Good luck, keeping my fingers crossed that receive some news very soon x x x x

2012-01-04 11:36 Michelleand Jon

This isn't Oscar :(. It will be 11 months on Saturday since he went missing. With no new sightings or anything else to go by it makes it very difficult to know where to start looking. I will get our Oscar home if it kills me.

2011-12-28 21:31 mumstaxi

post below is from neddc site

2011-12-28 21:30 mumstaxi

Our dog wardens picked up a male Springer Spaniel in Stonebroom on 22 December.

'Pudding', as he's been named by council staff, is around 2 years old – brown and white with a white stripe down his nose. He had no collar and tag and although he is micro chipped no owner details are registered against the microchip.

If you know someone who has lost a dog fitting this description please contact us as soon as you can, we'd hate him to spend his Christmas in kennels!

If Pudding's owners don't come forward we will have to look to re-home him in the New Year. If you think you could give him a home please contact us, all dog adoptions are subject to a successful home check and the dog's owners not coming forward prior.

2011-12-25 11:40 Maggie

Hi Michelle and John, just to let you know we are thinking about you and Oscar today and every day. Christmas is hard when there is a gap in the family.

2011-12-17 23:34 Neighbark

Hi, i've been watching this site for months now, hoping you find your boy. Re- the 2 springers visiting the mans garden, are the piccies good enough to send to Doglost head office, for Jayne to list them on the 'dogs found/sited' - in the hope that they might be reunited with their owners? thanks.

2011-12-14 21:09 NickyJ

That's a great shame, and also means there are two other lost doggies out there. Fingers crossed for you for more sightings soon x

2011-12-14 10:12 Michelleand Jon

I have been sent some photo's of these 2 springers and none of them are my Oscar. Have checked on Henry too but I don't think it is him. Definately not Biscuit either. Will try to get the photo's on Oscars facebook group when I get a moment.

2011-12-12 12:29 Barney 'n' Ozzie's mum

Wow, this sounds hopeful! I don't suppose he has any way of preventing them from getting out of the garden once they are in (like a gate) so that they can be caught?

2011-12-12 09:42 Michelleand Jon

We received a call last night from a gentleman (Fraddon area)that has had 2 springer spaniels going into his garden on an evening to eat the bread he has put out for the badgers. This has been happening for the last few weeks. He has asked around but nobody seems to know who these dogs belong to. He has invited me over as he has seen my Oscar is missing, I'm going to try to encourage them to come close and also get a photo. I have got a poster of Henry (34277) as he went missing from Grampound which is not a million miles away, so fingers crossed this will be Henry and Oscar. He did say try not to get hopes up but if it is not either of them at least we can cross them off our list.

2011-12-09 15:37 Michelleand Jon

I have spoken with the lady called Melissa who found the dog 35151 and she believes it has been reunited with it's owner now.

2011-12-09 10:45 Michelleand Jon

Thanks dorofin, I have called this morning but no answer. Will be trying again later. Even if this is not our Oscar we can cross this dog off the list.

Hi, I'm really not sure if this is of any help: my friend had her sprocket stolen over the weekend so we're doing all we can to help; I was browsing through preloved an came across a sprocker for sale by the name of Oscar, who is a year old, here's the linkhttp://m.preloved.co.uk/m/showadvert/1034749215/sprocker-spaniel.html I then saw your post on here and thought I would pass this on in the off chance of helping! Marianne

2011-11-22 17:02 Jo

Once you get the camera if you need any advice about setting it up please give me a call. The one for Poppy took quite a few nights for us to get it right. We have yet to see her on it but still hopeful. Jo - 07852 819132. Or Oscar you could just go home and save the trouble.

2011-11-17 19:55 zeffi

Hoping to see Oscar in the blue at last. I do hope the camera does its job and your boy will be home soon. Thinking of you and sending you best wishes. zeffi

I have just ordered a camera. Thank you to Rita, you are truely Oscar's angel, I cannot thank you enough. Hopefully Oscar will show himself sometime soon so I can get another feeding station set up and hopefully see if it is him.

2011-11-13 13:53 Maggie

I still check whenever I can get on-line and often think of you. How much do the cameras cost? M

2011-11-08 11:07 Michelleand Jon

Thank you Kimmybear those are very special words and it is so true. The network of support has been fantastic and it helps us to be more determined to find him and not give up. I was hoping after the weekend with the fireworks he would show himself as he hates fireworks. But nothing as yet. As it is dark early now it's normally pitch black when I finish work but I still have a drive round just incase he is trotting down the road. It's alot better on a weekend as I have daylight on our side. I will find him thats one thing I'm sure of.
The dog that was found at Porthleven had a collar with a tag (Mansfield, Notts) area. For whomever this baby belonged to I'm truely sorry for your loss.

2011-11-04 19:35 DogLostKimmybear - Area Co-ordinator Essex and Herts

M&J, God bless you and Oscar and all of you kind people out there supporting them. You are all great! Those of us who have been thru something similar, even for just a day, will know just how much your support means to Oscar's family and that is what we are all here for. When you have a loved one missing you really need that support network of others who truly understand and care. We will continue to pray for Oscar's safe keeping and continue to search and offer support until precious Oscar is home. x

I'm in the process of saving for a IR motion camera. No sighting up near the cottages at all since September. I'll give the google maps a go, if I get stuck I will ask for your help.
There has been a liver/white spaniel type dog found at Porthleven (body washed up) Dog ID 34048. Poor little thing. I have left a message on the voicemail and awaiting a call back with more details if possible. Porthleven is about 45 miles away (ish) but I'm still checking. Got a big knot in my throat, I hope my boy is safe.

2011-10-26 14:28 NickyJ

I'm following your thread on your beautiful Oscar. Hope you get some more news soon. I wondered if you'd tried an IR motion activated wildlife camera at all, there's the site of the holiday cottage where one might be set-up? Just a thought. Keep your spirits up - he's out there somewhere. Nicky x

PS: I've been helping to look for Poppy (31602) and I've plotted her sightings, plus where she went missing from, onto a Google map:
http://g.co/maps/v26wh
It is quite easy to set up and I'd be very happy to do one for Oscar too if you wanted?
I'm not familiar with the area, but could just go from the descriptions you have on this forum.

2011-10-23 22:58 Michelleand Jon

Unfortunately there is no news at all. Things have gone really quiet, its worrying. With the nights drawing in early is making things more difficult too. I just wish he would show himself to someone who knows were looking for him. I call the dog wardens as soon as I hear anything too so they know what is happening just incase they get called out. I hate the no knowing its torture.

2011-10-23 19:40 Flo

Any news on dear Oscar? x x x x

2011-10-16 00:30 cfsmith

Just throwing this idea out there to see how many helpers we could get..
I would like to organise a stakeout regarding my theory of Oscars evening route (From Respryn Woods to Cardinham Woods), this would entail posting spotters along his known route near to where he's been sighted before, this time the majority of the spotting could be done from the comfort of a car.
7 pairs or single spotters in cars would be great but if more or less i could arrange the positioning however.
The operation could be next weekend on Saturday or Sunday & start around 4pm & i would expect to finish no later than 10 pm.
If you would like to help please post or email me at cfsmith@sky.com what times & what day would suit you best, even if you can only offer an hour or two it will make all the difference.

2011-10-13 22:00 angi

good luck tomorrow night. I'll be thinking of you xx wish i lived close enough to help x

2011-10-13 17:52 Flo

Good luck really really hope it brings you some fresh news/sightings! x

2011-10-13 11:34 Michelleand Jon

Myself and a few helpers from Oscar's facebook page are going to meet at Respryn Woods car park on Friday 6.30-6.45pm to go out to observe the area as it starts to turn dusk, as there are plenty of phesants/rabbits out at this time and its easy pickings for a hungry dog. If were lucky enough to get a definate sighting of Oscar and can pinpoint him to an area and what direction he was going in, Ray said he will come down to Cornwall and help us catch him. If anyone would like to come and help please remember to bring a torch and wear sturdy clothing as weather has been awful lately.

2011-10-12 12:25 Michelleand Jon

Nothing at all since Mo saw him last at Respryn woods. Icemac14 went around this area and spoke with a farmer who owns quite a bit of land around the woods. He lost his dog for 6 months in Respryn with no sightings and then he turned up 6 months later at the door like he had not been away. The farmer is going to keep an eye out for him. Thinking of doing an evening/night search on Friday at Respryn. We had a call from Ray (one I mentioned who catches dogs) and he has given us some good advice which were going to give a go.

2011-10-11 10:45 jimjams

Have there been any sightings in the past week?

2011-10-03 21:55 Michelleand Jon

Went and chcked trap also walked up at Respryn woods. I bumped into a dog handler policeman who was up there. I gave him a flyer and he said he will look out for him. He also said that there are a few farm dogs and asked if he could have been mistaken for one of them.

2011-10-02 21:19 Michelleand Jon

It is fairly open land around there so will go and check it out.

2011-10-01 23:45 scootjockey

My cocker enjoys playing there too,easy to hide Peacefull place. Sniffffer dog wouldnt do any harm.

2011-10-01 16:02 Barney 'n' Ozzie's mum

I agree with Reynard, definetely worth checking to see if he has a den in the grounds of the crem. There have been quite a few dogs on here that have been found hanging around cemeteries x

come on oscar. where are you? will make my year when you come home boy....

2011-09-29 22:47 Michelleand Jon

The path which leads up to the crem can get quite busy with dog walkers and dogs will go into the trap to take the bait. If I can find a quieter place to put it I will move it. I'm off out during the day this weekend to try to find somewhere that maybe suitable.

2011-09-29 20:18 Reynard

"This path leads upto Bodmin Crem which is just down the road from where he was sighted last week."

Maybe a trap would work here?

2011-09-28 23:22 Michelleand Jon

I have come back home with the scent of Dotti our friends little bitch that Oscar loved (she is in season) I'm going to out the scent near the trap in the morning and hope that this may work. Freshly baited trap today too.
Went for a walk round Respryn woods this evening and met Mo who saw him on Monday, she has pointed me in the right direction to look for him. This path leads upto Bodmin Crem which is just down the road from where he was sighted last week. Checked on the trap too but nothing. I spoke with the holiday makers that are in the cottage this week and they have a flyer of Oscar and are keeping a look out. They have said they will leave some food outside the door to see if this will attract him and try to entice him inside. I feel sooo close but still so far away. I am determined I will get my Oscar boy home though.

2011-09-28 21:15 icemac14

walked al around respryn woods yesterday but no sign of oscar but left his posters on the gates so they will be seen

2011-09-28 14:08 bazil

Are there any ex sniffer dog handlers on here, maybe a sniffer dog trained to know Oscar's scent would be the answer or is that wishful thinking?? I'm wishing!

hi thanks for that mo had a look tonight but really dark even with a torch will have another look in the morning respryn woods are so big when you have no idea where to look so thank you for answering me

2011-09-26 22:07 mo

That is, go up the lane on the left then take the path down to the right going through a wooden swing gate.

2011-09-26 22:05 mo

Hi yes, no problem. From Bodmin driving towards Lanhydrock take the left turn (road to Respryn). Along that road there is a right turn which cuts through to Lanhydrock, opposite this there is a little lane goes up on the left where several cars often park to dog walk. The dog was seen on the path that goes down to the right which eventually leads down to the respryn to Bodmin station path. Please post again if that doesnt make sense.

Whilst walking our own dog in the woods just above Respryn around 7 this evening we spotted a dog fitting the discription of the liver and white dog seen near the Crem recently. ran past us 3 times, obviously lost and appeared a little disorientated. Was not interested in any contact with us though. Was wearing a collar which my husband thought looked like bluey webbing although cant be sure. Was amazed to read recent comments and hope you find him

2011-09-24 21:22 Barney 'n' Ozzie's mum

Hi Michelle. Was the holiday cottage the one with the For Sale board? My husband and I stood there for a while looking longingly at it! Just think, I could have walked right by you and not even realised it was you! Don't suppose you were at the Quiz Night at The Old Inn at St Breward last night??

2011-09-24 17:45 Barney 'n' Ozzie's mum

Have just got back from sunny Cornwall this afternoon. Boy, how I wish I'd had internet access when we were there!! My husband and I walked our dogs in Cardinham Woods on Tuesday!! I was on the lookout for Oscar all week - you wouldn't believe the number of one track lanes we have been driving up and down! I really hope this is him. We came across the moors at Temple on our way home this morning and I remember thinking how it would be an ideal place for him to be holed up. When we were at Cardinham Woods on Tuesday 2 transit-type vans rolled up and off loaded about 8 collies for a walk - I saw one that was Oscar's colouring but only saw him from the back just before he took off. Maybe this was an omen?? Would love to have met up with you Michelle, but no mobile signal where we were staying. Keeping everything crossed here for you. Come on Oscar xxxxxx

2011-09-22 17:04 Jackie

I keep checking on Oscar... I know it in my heart that you will find him just hope it's soon... come on Oscar your time is up summer is nearly over xxxx

2011-09-21 09:52 Michelleand Jon

No news this morning, the trap was still as it was when left. I have scented a fresh trail up to it this morning. Because the trap is something new he may give it a wide birth for a little while until he gets use to it. Going across to check tonight. I'm only checking the trap in the morning and evening because I don't want to keep disturbing it as this would probably put him off going near.

Trap is set and baited with marinated garlic, herb rabbit. Nice and smelly. It looks like he could have been bedding down in a barn. Not pinning all my hopes on this so still looking other area's aswell. Just hope and pray that this is my Oscar and we can get him home very soon.

2011-09-20 08:39 jimjams

Drove across the moors at Temple last night and up through Cardinham in the hope I may spot him.....
I am planning on trying to go to Cardinham with my 4 over the weekend and next week as I have the week off. But hopefully he will be captured before that.... fingers crossed for you.

This evening I went down to Cardinham woods and on the way back stubbled across a holiday cottage so asked if they had seen Oscar. They couldn't believe it when I showed them a picture. They told me that he had gone up to their window twice last night. Jon and I are going to move the trap in the morning and hopefully will get an Oscar caught in it very soon.

2011-09-19 21:59 Spindle

Please please let this be him and get him back to these wonderful owners very soon.

Went out scenting from Cardinham to Temple over the A30 bridge then ran out of scent. Hopefully if this is my Oscar he will follow his nose. Whilst out I had a call from Ray (40 years experience in catching missing dogs) he has said that if anyone see's Oscar not to try to catch him or even call his name as for some reason dogs will run even if their name is called. So just try to be submissive and talk normally to him and call one of us asap maybe stay with him until one of us can get there. Apparently he will know safe area's and best way to get out of fields etc. I will get him back I'm determined he is coming home.

2011-09-18 07:42 suzyb

Whilst at work tonight a member of Oscar's facebook group came in saying they had just seen a dog matching Oscar's description over near Bodmin Crem. He had a large beauty on left hand side of mussel but didn't see right side. Oscar has this marking. He followed him towards Cardinham woods but lost him. Said has markings like Oscar and looked like a dog that had been out for a while or a farm dog as very dirty un the underbelly. Not sure if this was him but looked on the map and a direct route from Penwithick to there is 12km. If Oscar is heading in this direcion I don't think he would cross the A30 as it is a very busy road. All the sightings seem to be on the other side of the A30 to where we live. I shall be heading out in the morning going through Cardinham woods heading towards Penwithick/Treverbyn to cook. Please keep eyes open in both areas as I'm not ruling anything out. Thanks x
Not sure if on Champdogs but will get in touch with them. Called into the Treverbyn village hall last night and gave out flyers.

2011-09-15 09:55 jimjams

Is Oscar listed on the Champdogs website / forum? There are a few users on there from Cornwall so would be worth a try.

2011-09-15 09:21 jimjams

There is a ringcraft group that meets in Treverbyn Village Hall on a Thursday evening - I think it is something like 6 - 8 or 7 - 9, can't remember exactly? It may be worth a visit? I will drive by that way on my way into work tomorrow and on the way home.. Still keeping my eyes peeled daily.Last edited: 2011-09-15 09:40:12 by jimjams

No luck tonight by all search parties but more eyes are open now looking for him. Headed home when it turned dark but will be out again tomorrow. Thank you all for the good wishes and prayers, it feels like we are getting closer to getting him home and when we do we have a magnum bottle of Moet & Chandon will be cracked open.

2011-09-14 22:22 jobadger

2011-09-14 22:11 Barney 'n' Ozzie's mum

Thanks for the kind offer Michelle. I'd love nothing more than to be able to ring you and say "put the kettle on, I'm coming over with a surprise for you!" If we do find Oscar on our travels, I think it more likely we'll be cracking open the bubbly though rather than drinking tea! Wish me luck xx

2011-09-14 21:18 Jackie

Michelle and Jon... we check Oscar's page every day, firstly on the reunited page, my heart jumps every time but don't see him so have to come on here... one day soon he's going to be there and they'll be tears from me... stay strong he's there somewhere xxxx

Cherie Gibbs
A dog of Oscar desription spotted 2 mins ago Treverbyn area !! A lady just said to me seen running on his or her own , just getting kids will have a look myself in a mo !! X

This is near the A391 where he has been spotted before. I'm heading out there as soon as I can get to my car as stuck at work at the mo, in a lift share. If anyone around the area can spare an hour to help look I would appreciate it.

2011-09-14 09:51 Michelleand Jon

I hope this is a good omen - Yesterday evening when I was sorting the pups out. I went outside and Oscar's old collar that he lost January was on our wall. We had been looking for it for ages but never came across it. The farmer that has sheep around us must have put it there. It definately pulled on my heartstrings I want my Oscar back so much.

Thank you Barney 'n' Ozzie's mum. Feel free to give me a call and I'll put the kettle on xx

2011-09-13 21:27 Barney 'n' Ozzie's mum

Just printed off Oscar's poster to bring down with me on Saturday. Will be staying near St Breward for a week, but doing lots of walking all around the area with our dogs. Will be looking out for Oscar and Sky every day xx

2011-09-13 10:14 Michelleand Jon

Went out searching the area and nothing, gave out fliers and spoke with people to keep an eye out for him. I try to stay strong and positive but still have a little cry everyday. Someone must know where he is, he has been too well advertised.

2011-09-11 19:12 JoeCloud

Michelle keep strong , you know from Cloud that its possible, they are very clver and fall back on instinct to keep them going. Thinking of you Jackie

Heading over to Luxulyan Valley on Saturday for about 12 to search the area. If anyone has any spare time to help it would be greatly appreciated. xx

2011-09-06 13:08 Michelleand Jon

The local neighbourhood Watch Group was one of the first places I contacted.
Not heard anything recently, Sue McCormack saw a dog running through a field in Luxulyan last week, dark like Oscar but she couldn't be sure it was him, when she went to the field he was gone, she called at a farm near it and it wasn't their dog so she left a flier. We met up and went searching but no luck. Got poster up at local post office, caught a postman and poster up in the pub too. I really do want my Oscar home.

2011-09-03 00:32 zeffi

Just a thought - have you contacted local Neighbourhood Watch groups? You may need to do this via the police, but if it can be done you could get more people looking out for Oscar. Good luck, stay strong. xx

2011-09-02 23:47 bazil

Keep checking here and on Oscar's FB page, hoping and praying you have him back soon xx

2011-09-02 16:29 Michelleand Jon

Thanks Tabby, I called at Tulip Foods yesterday and spoke to security who have taken a couple of posters, one for the gate and one for the employee notice board. My friend Lisa works at Cruesa kennels and has Oscar's poster up, she comes out on searches with me. I used to work with Karen Jazz's owner and she is keeping a look out and I'm sure I posted a poster to the riding school. I hope he shows himself too or if someone has picked him up, even bought him that they would contact me. I would not wish this on my worst enemy, its torchure.

2011-09-01 22:14 Tabby

My husband works at Tulip Foods. They don't usually have meat around for dogs to pick up unless the birds take it away and drop it. There is quite heavy security on the gate as well. Its not only a few hundred yards from where Jazz (lurcher x jack )went missing. There is Cruesa kennels just up from there as well and a riding school where dog training classes are held.Might be worth contacting them if he is in the area.Hope her shows himself soon. xxxx

2011-09-01 21:35 jobadger

There isn't a day goes by that I don't check Oscar's page. I so hope your boy's back soon - you are trying so hard. I wish you all the luck in the world - and a bit more! xxxx

2011-09-01 14:06 guinness'mum

Hi Michelle and Jon,left you a message last night on Facebook(yes I'm Carol)the more i look and double check area it is possible Oscar is using the Saints Way,will be down there soon to help look with my herding sheepie

2011-09-01 12:53 jimjams

Oh please keep spotting him people... I also check this page each day and drive home very slowly now with beady eyes on the Cornish alps.
Have you tried calling the meat factory (it's Tulip isnt it?). If he is hungry he may have been hanging around there? Although working at a meat factory myself I'm sure that security would have called the dog warden?
There is a place called Helman Tor on the back roads near Lanivet - a lot of people walk dogs around there, also another popular place with dog walkers is the Luxulyan viaduct and surrounding woods....
Good luck.
I wish I had more time to help look.

2011-08-31 22:30 Michelleand Jon

Had another call this evening from a lady called Marie Hall. She said she cannot be definate but she thinks after seeing Oscar in the paper she saw him last week going down the road from Luxlyan to Bodmin about 3 miles in. He was very careful on the road and moved right into the hedge when a tractor went by but stayed his distance from a couple of walkers he was very observant. Looked in good health. There are a few farms down that way and a meat factory down a turn off. If she see's him again she is going to try to entice him to her as she uses that road quite often. He maybe heding back towards Bodmin. Going to investigate tomorrow and knock on a few doors and leave posters. Feel like I'm getting a little closer to getting my boy home.

Thanks Zeffi all our prayers are keeping him safe xx

2011-08-31 17:15 zeffi

Oscar's is one of the pages I look at every day, hoping that he'll have been found. Best wishes for a good result from the latest in the newspaper. Don't give up on your beautiful boy. I'm too far away to help search but I'm lighting candles for him and praying that you find him soon.

2011-08-31 15:04 Michelleand Jon

Jon has had various calls the main one been a liver & white sprollie picked up near that area but a week before the sightings. This dog handed into dog warden. I have called him just incase and he has assured me it wasn't Oscar as he has posters and put one up at the kennels they are taken to and that he is also keeping a look out for him. Mary from Bodmin (dog warden)office has been helping me keeping the wardens informed of what is happening and any sightings I get. (Thank you for your help Mary and for putting up with my constant pestering)
Anyway this dog was returned to owner.
Feel on edge again, he has got to be somewhere. Want you home our Oscar, love you sooooo much xx

2011-08-31 12:49 Michelleand Jon

We have managed to get Oscar into the Cornish Guardian (St Austell area, link below)I am hoping and praying that this brings some news. It has been nearly 7 months since he went and I don't know how much more our emotions can take. The not knowing is the killer, I'm not sure if he is out on his own, been picked up or even sold on, then got loose to get the sighting. If this is the case then I'm begging you if you read this please contact me.

I know you must have looked at the map a million times so I apologise if I'm telling you what you already know but the pattern follows in a straight line from Roch to Colliford Lake a distance of only about 16 miles.He is still definately following a triangle. the problem we have is we don't know how long he is taking to move through the 3 points! it seemed to be about 3 weeks but I'm not sure now. I'm so hoping he shows himself again soon. xx

2011-08-26 12:34 Michelleand Jon

Thank you so much for keeping your eyes peeled. I know he has got to be out there somewhere just hoping, wishing, praying he would show himself more to people that can help him. My workmate has popped posters in shop etc in Roche just incase he heads thats way again. Thanks for the Twitter mention. Michelle x

I Have spoken to a nice lady called Caroline at the St Austell Guardian, who is going to try to put me a plea for help in finding Oscar in the St Austell Guardian, as a follow up story to the Bodmin Guardian when I was asked to take the posters down. Hopefully this will make more people aware in that area that we are still looking for him. I have stated that he is SCARED.

Sounds like this is definetely a good time for a portable barbecue. Everything crossed here for you x

2011-08-22 11:31 Jods

have traps been tried yet??? as soon as i get chance i will be down to help look with my gang of springers, he is probably too wary of people now to risk coming to close, maybe other dogs will encourage him.....?? i caught u stray dog that had been missin for weeks just by sitting in a nearby field with my dogs and a lovely smelly picnic....good luck, fingers crossed for u x

Michelle Kellington-Hand
I have not long had a call from a young lady saying that she saw Oscar in Roche 2 weeks ago and it was definately him. She was about 3 meters away from hima dn tried to entice him but he would not come and ran off into a field, she tried to follow him but lost him. She also said that he had been running in the road but cars had slowed down for him. Oscar hasn't got alot of road sense at all as there is only one road where we live and that is not used much. So scared for my boy. If any of the group members are in the St Austell/Par/Roche/St Dennis/Trethurgy area PLEASE encourage your friends to join the group and keep a look out for him also to carry our contact numbers around with them just incase they see him while out and about.

bumped due to this sighting. Show yourself again Oscar. Keep safe xxx

Hi guinness'mum. I'm there for a week commencing 19th Sept - literally on the doorstep, so won't get chance to meet up with you I'm afraid. We'll be walking our 2 dogs all over the place, so hopefully might spot Oscar if he's not been caught by then x

Jon took another phone call this morning from a lady who live near the st dennis area, herself and her son followed a dog matching our oscars description travelling towards rosevear caravan/ holiday park, a few days ago. Estimated migeage from previous sighting about 6km directly. Getting posters out there after work. I feel we are getting closer to getting him back home, GOD I hope so.

Lisa Taylor - Went out for a drive last night around the Bethel area, as son may have seen Oscar in the chapelfields area on Sunday. However, we did not spot him, but will keep an eye out for you x

2011-08-16 10:09 jann

Good luck, fingers crossed xx

2011-08-16 09:40 Michelleand Jon

No news at the moment. Went over to post fliers through doors yesterday. Spoke with a farmer who is going to keep an eye out for him. Also spoke the the people who are doing the circus at the Eden Project for the summer, they too are keeping a look out.

Thank you all for your best wishes it helps us keep going. xxLast edited: 2011-08-16 12:54:45 by Michelleand Jon

2011-08-06 15:44 cloudy

hi Michelle
Cloud is home, we didnt stop over in the end because she was a bit wobegone so traveled there and back in the day, hell of a journey more than 700 miles in all, but not one i weould do agian tomorrow if it meant getting her back. she seems unaffected by her experience and fair a lot better than i thought, thereinstinct must really kick in.

Mentioned Oscar to Adrian and Gary the wardens and i am sure if he is sighted they will do all in their power to find him. They went all out for Cloud, working in their own time and were really tenacious, so he was lost in a good bit of the county for wardens Thinking of you dont give up hope it happened for us xxx

Great news about Cloud and so pleased you're going to have Jackie on board now -really kind of her. Was going to suggest putting fliers thru doors in Loveny Close area, but you're obvously ahead of me on that one -keeping everything crossed for you that this brings you some positive news xx

2011-08-03 12:35 Flo

Really really hope it does!!! You definitely deserve to get your boy home now x

2011-08-02 21:54 Michelleand Jon

There is hope for us yet. Jackie has had a call saying they found Cloud. She is going to help us with Oscar. She said when she contact everyone to tell them she has found Cloud she is also going to give them Oscar's details just incase I may have missed someone.

I have had some postcard fliers done so going to deliver them to houses round and about St Neot especially Loveny Close where is was sighted on Saturday. Hopefully this will bring some news.

2011-08-01 10:52 bazil

Hi, gutted about it being a fox.....re possible sighting of Oscar....wondering if any travellers in your area because they usually have jack russells and let them roam around, Oscar could be with them...just a thought as same thing was reported to me about Meg a cocker who went missing, we had a possible sighting??? she was seen a week later running with a jack russell who we know comes from a travellers site and ventures out by himself for about a mile across fields. Then we had another possible sighting of her being seen on the beach with what is thought to be travellers. Meg is still missing. May be worth checking xxx

2011-07-31 20:16 Reynard

Good Luck! xxx

2011-07-30 23:26 angi

shame about the fox but doesn't explain the white fur on the branch as before.He must have been there recently?. Well done for stopping to help the staffie and pups.:-) xx

2011-07-30 22:30 Michelleand Jon

Lisa and I staked out the trap to find it was a fax moving me t-shirt and the blanket. Would have never had thought a young fox would move my t-shirt must like my scent.

Had a call of a sighting at 7.15pm this evening od a dog matching description of Oscar running with a white jack russell going down Loveny Close at St Neot. Went across looking for him but couldn't see him. But did come acrossa staffie running down the road with 4 puppies. A kind lady took them in as who we thought were the owners were out.

2011-07-30 10:46 jann

Please, please let Oscar be back with Michelle and Jon today xx

2011-07-30 10:26 cloudy

Good luck tonight Michelle and Jon. Hoping for good news when I sign in tomorrow. If this Oscar he is certainly one very clever boy not to have set the trap off! Perhaps he's even watching you set it from his hiding place :)

2011-07-29 21:37 Maggie

I do hope it's Oscar and that the weather is kind to you if you are staying all night! Hope for good news when I sign on tomorrow. xx

2011-07-29 11:26 Michelleand Jon

Baited trap last night with alsorts of smelly goodies. Raw liver, hotdog sausages, bacon bites, smoked salmon and even a rabbit. The trap was set off this morning nothing inside except half an eaten rabbit. Blanket and T-shirt moved again. Stake out tonight.

2011-07-27 22:01 Barney 'n' Ozzie's mum

I'm sure you already know this, but if it is Oscar, don't be surprised if he doesn't recognise you straight away, so take everything very slowly and quietly so as not to spook him! Wishing you all the luck in the world - you really deserve it xx

2011-07-27 16:59 Spindle

How about little tent and barbie nearby on friday? So so hope it is him and this is the week he will get home.

bumping due to movement at trap site, bait taken, trap set off , scented t shirt moved and bedding dragged outside of trap- white dog fur also snagged on same branch as before. have advised resetting and baiting slightlty differently as well as introducing sticks within trap for whoever is going in to step over onto tread plate-slowing their exit and making sure treadplate hopefully is depressed. good luck Michelle - sending you every bit of luck tonight that it is Oscar and he isnt to scared too return xxx Last edited: 2011-07-26 20:13:13 by ESSJ - Area Co-ordinator Bedfordshire

2011-07-15 13:36 Michelleand Jon

I checked on the trap this morning and we managed to catch a cat. I'm not giving up that easy though cos the cat may have got there before him. Plus don't think a cat would move a t-shirt. Going to set it again later and with any luck not catch a cat again but catch our Oscar.

2011-07-14 22:59 Flo

I am keeping everything crossed for you both. I really really hope this is your boy and your not disappointed again. You all deserve to be reunited so so much. Come on Oscar be brave, come back and go in the trap! x x x x

I bet Oscar is so proud of you, wherever he is. They know, you know! Far more clever than us humans. I have everything crossed for you. At least you're feeding someone and hopefully it is Oscar. At some point, it has to be him. x

2011-07-13 23:23 Michelleand Jon

Food has been taken again so baited again tonight and getting a friend to help me move the trap tomorrow. I'm praying this is Oscar but trying not to get my hopes up too much because the letdown hurts. Come on my Oscar boy if this is you, keep coming back for food.

Everything has gone so quiet, no sightings at all. Nothing from the media coverage either. He can't have just vanished. I worry about him all the time, wonder what he is doing, if he is with anybody, if he is safe, warm and not hungry. Want our boy home so much. I love you my gorgeous Oscar boy xxx

Thank you Beanie, the more people looking the better chance we will get to get him home. Not to panic about the lorry poster but thank you for asking.
Bodmin Banner have offered us a free advert, this will hit around 5000 homes. I cannot thank them and you all for the support you are giving us.

Thanks Beanie- its very much appreciated that you and your other driver are keeping watch for us.Larger companies quite often do not allow postering in or around their shops or vehicles as company policy so no worries there.:o)

Well Oscar has made it into the Cornish Guardian again courtesy of Mr Jesse Foot, manager of Bodmin library. How kind of him to take the time to research Oscar, his facebook page and his page on doglost, as well as seeing the posters and his other mentions in the media. Here's the link to his view of Oscar and dogs in general. http://s3.amazonaws.com/data.tumblr.com/tumblr_ln6m9orNrg1qd3louo1_1280.jpg?AWSAccessKeyId=AKIAJ6IHWSU3BX3X7X3Q&Expires=1308920317&Signature=ahniflBqQSKrJBPLTZu3Sl6WjBs%3D

ITV have just been out to film we have appealled for help to find Oscar. It is going to be aired tonight. I shall find a link and put this on here and Oscar is Missing FB Group. From this we are praying that if anyone has picked him up or know where he is they will be in touch.

2011-06-19 12:03 Michelleand Jon

Thank you Tia. We have contacted the farmers we know about Oscar and they have also contacted the other farmers. There are so many barns and out buildings around so hopefully if a farmer comes across him they will contact us.

2011-06-19 11:39 Barney 'n' Ozzie's mum

Have you checked to see if he's got a den in an old barn or shed? Perhaps you could ask farmers to check their outbuildings for you.
I've given my daughter posters of Oscar, Sky and Cloud as she will be down there next week. Fingers crossed you get a sighting soon xx

2011-06-19 11:22 Tia604

We are leasing a property near St Breward where Oscar went missing. Will send a poster and ask folk to look out for him and will ensure I take several long walks with my little apaniel bitch if he is still wandering next time I am down on the moor

it's brilliant that you are now on board to help Michelle and Jon now Beanie as you probably saw Oscar and as a driver in the area may see him again or know someone who has. You can see from here they have been trying so hard to find him and have loads of support. Unfortunately a lot of us are hundreds of miles away and are not there in person to help look for their boy. Fingers crossed he can be found soon xx

2011-06-17 19:20 DogLostESSJ - Area Co-ordinator Bedfordshire

Dog was very similar in all aspects to Oscar except poss a bit bigger and slightly longer haired, dog was viewed by Jon(not sure how close) We cannot rule out that this was not Oscar though as he is a young dog and living outside will i'm sure develop suitable "attire" for the outdoor living conditions.i've text Michelle your email address but cannot get hold of her atm- like you say the signal round there is intermittent! Thank you so much for all your help.This sort of detailed info is really really helpful.

2011-06-17 19:10 Beanie

All nicely within my deivery area. Shame the phone signal doesn't accompany it.

Can i ask the dog viewed in St Neot on the 15th . . was it a stray? it could be the St Neot sightings were all of a different dog.

Further to my sighting in May his route was: Down Tripp Hill, past the school, wee'd in someones garden! truned right into Loveny Close and across a field (Public Walkway) heading towards Lampen Road.Last edited: 2011-06-17 19:13:45 by Beanie

Hi,
I am the Jewson driver who reported seeing Oscar in St Neot last month, i deliver in that area alot and have spoken to a builder on Tripp Hill who said he saw the same dog again last Friday (10th). I cannot confirm however this was Oscar.
Have you got a map showing the reported sightings and the dates?. . there might be a pattern, i ask as when i saw him it was as if he knew where he was going, and since he may have been seen in the same location a few weeks later it might be worth a shot.

2011-06-17 17:51 DogLostESSJ - Area Co-ordinator Bedfordshire

ITV West Country are coming out to see Michelle & Jon on Monday because of Oscar's story in Cornish Guardian. Hopefully if someone has picked Oscar up, we will hear something from it.

Been wracking my brains all night on some of these dogs. Just a thought, but often things can be hidden in plain sight. Maybe work on finding any person who has aquired a spaniel in the last 4 months in surrounding areas, as sometimes public don't connect that the new dog next door being walked is THE dog that is missing. People do take dogs in as with Pippa the collie, just been reunited. I'll keep thinking............ x

2011-06-16 22:53 Michelleand Jon

Been out searching again this evening and check onhiding place but nothing. Not heard anything from the newspapers either.

2011-06-16 18:35 angi

I'm so sorry this wasn't your boy but his turn will come. I really feel he will be home. Thinking of you xx

2011-06-16 13:47 Pixie

Have been keeping my eye on Oscar's progress and completely understand your emotional roller coaster as I am going through to same trying to find my boy, Jaxx. Hope the publicity helps and that your beloved boy is back with you soon. Fingers are always crossed that all the lost and stolen doggies find their owners soon. x

2011-06-16 10:50 Michelleand Jon

Devastated that this was not Oscar. This emotional rollarcoaster is taking its toll,one minute excited that it maybe him and the next down that its not him. I am determined that I will find my Oscar, if it kills me. There is a piece in the Daily Telegraph today page 11 about Oscar's posters and the council but no photo of him or contact details. It should all be about Oscar not the complaints (but I suppose this has helped with publicity for him) Good thing is though they have mentioned this website so I do hope there will be more views that could lead to getting Oscar home, also for all the other missing dogs that owners are working so hard to get back.

2011-06-15 22:33 bazil

Michelle and Jon I am gutted for you both. So sorry this boy wasn't your Oscar. I really do think Oscar will be home soon, we know he is out there and after all the publicity he has getting lately and more to come, there will be many more people keeping a look out for him. Stay safe Oscar xx

2011-06-15 22:14 Barney 'n' Ozzie's mum

Oh no, heaven only knows how you must be feeling :(
Sadly it wasn't to be Oscar's day today, but his turn WILL come. My daughter will be down there in just over a week now and will keep a look out for him as she and her boyfriend will be doing a lot of walking in the area. Please come home now Oscar x

So sorry this wasn't your boy, thinking of you xx

2011-06-15 20:53 DogLostKimmybear - Area Co-ordinator Essex and Herts

I know you must be so distraught, but Oscar is out there somewhere and you are doing so well, you are getting sightings of dogs, and at some point it will be HIM. You never know if that "just one more" poster, will be the one that leads you to him. If wishes could get him home now, he would have been back before he went! So many people care and so many people are with you through all of this. Hang in there, you deserve to find him and you will. Just wish it was NOW!!! Come on Oscar baby, come home! xxx

2011-06-15 20:07 Flo

Oh no thats such a shame! He is out there somewhere, fingers crossed you will get another sighting of your lovely boy soon x

2011-06-15 20:05 DogLostESSJ - Area Co-ordinator Bedfordshire

The confirmed sighting isnt Oscar :( totally gutted. Michelle and Jon have seen the dog-and its not him. Devastated is an understatement, i really feel for you both. xxx

2011-06-15 19:57 Flo

Wahoo fantastic! Fingers crossed he hung around! Come on Oscar home time! x

Come on Oscar time to show for Mum & Dad xxx

2011-06-15 16:10 Michelleand Jon

We haven't heard anything yet from the newspaper but it only came out this morning and people have yet to come back from work. We have been contacted by Nick Irving a journalist from Exeter who also wants to do a story on Oscar to help spread the news further afield. Come on my Oscar boy please, please show yourself to a reader of the article, so we can get you home safe where you belong.

we are all rooting for Oscar...come on boy!! jaxx the dalmation lost near my area wawsn't seen for over 3 weeks. Like where you are it is very rural with lots of cover and bunnies to catch. He has now been seen a few times this week so hopefully it will be the same for Oscar. Oscar has been seen in the same area more than once so it's probable he is moving in a triangle route. What you don't know is how long it will take him to get around his 'circuit'. The odds are that he will return to this spot hopefully very soon. Thinking of you xx

2011-06-14 13:42 Maggie

We look every day in the hope that you have found him. You deserve to get him back after all of your efforts. Too far away to help, but we think positive thoughts all the time for you and Oscar. Come on Oscar we are all willing you to be found. xx

2011-06-14 12:04 Michelleand Jon

Could never give up on our boy, love him far too much. There has been no activity at the hiding place, no food taken and nothing bedded down on my t-shirt. I am really hoping that if Oscar is moving in a triangular route that it won't be too long before he is in that area. Not had any sightings for 3 weeks. Come on my gorgeous Oscar boy show yourself to some nice people. xx

2011-06-12 11:29 Reynard

Good luck Michelle & Jon perhaps you dont need the posters any more your 'gut feelings' & inner strength' will see you right! So fingers Crossed , come on Oscar time to go home xxx

2011-06-11 20:40 DogLostESSJ - Area Co-ordinator Bedfordshire

Oscar is in the monthly journal gazette. Jon & Michelle have been at the Royal Cornwall Show today and handed out posters for Oscar. Come on Oscar, home time please xxx

2011-06-10 20:00 Maggie

Oh dear, I've just had an e mail from Mr Rogerson's secretary telling me in no uncertain terms that it is against parliamentary rules to handle any case for someone outside the members constituency, i.e. they will not even consider my e mail. So this issue has to be raised by Michelle & Jon, and I would ask anyone in that constituency to add their weight to the issue by also writing.
I'm so sorry Michelle & Jon, I can't help you. I'd go to the press and local TV news if I was in your shoes, gives the MP a chance to look good by being the 'night in shining armour' and if this involved positive publicity for him it might help your cause.

2011-06-10 13:25 Maggie

Michelle & Jon, no problem, but please don't put my personal details (don't include e mail address, full name etc - I'm very cautious with my personal details on the internet). You should be able to copy and paste the body/words of the letter without my details.
I've had a reply from Mr Rogersons secretary today asking for my postal address before he will even look at my letter, so you need to ask people to include their address when sending e mails to Mr Rogerson.
I've sent my address to him, but as I live a couple of hundred miles out of area a few e mails from local people would probably help. An article in your local papers wouldn't go amiss if they are still harassing you, it's just cruel of them and in these days of cut backs I would want my local council spending my money more wisely.
Fingers crossed for Oscar, he's more important than the local council bods worrying about posters.

Would it be ok Maggie if I copied your email on the Oscar's facebook page? Would give people an idea of what to write to Mr Rogerson.

I left some food at the hiding place last night in the hope that he maybe nearby and come and take some but when I checked this morning it was still there. Scented again and left clothing tied to a tree. Not heard anything for nearly 3 weeks now. I hope my little boy is ok and not hurt.

2011-06-09 22:57 Maggie

Come on Oscar, show yourself, you'll feel much better at home with mum & dad. Thinking & sending positive thoughts to you & Oscar. Good luck!
p.s. I've had no reply so far from Dan Rogerson, MP re the postering problems. If you get further pressure maybe more people could press Mr Rogerson for help.

2011-06-09 19:03 Flo

wow this does sound promising! Come on Oscar let your mummy find you now! x

2011-06-08 12:34 Barney 'n' Ozzie's mum

Hi Michelleand Jon. This does sound promising! I'm sure you don't need reminding, but make sure to scent the area and leave an item of clothing with your scent on nearby. Come on Oscar, time to go home now xx

2011-06-08 12:04 Michelleand Jon

Jane (ESSJ Beds) and I think we may have found one of Oscar's hiding places. It is a place where I kept getting drawn to so we went to investigate a little further and found some dog hair (Oscar's colour) on a tree branch. Feathers on the floor like a bird had been ate. Also Pippa and Bella were sniffing like mad around that area. Gonna keep checking and hopefully may come across him bedding down there one morning/evening

2011-06-07 23:47 bazil

Keep coming here and checking for another sighting of Oscar, come boy let someone see you xxx

2011-06-07 23:07 Michelleand Jon

Posted to vets again across Cornwall. There should be a article in the Cornish guardian next Wednesday on Oscar and Sky. Hopefully this will help us with some news of our babies xx

2011-06-06 00:27 Michelleand Jon

We haven't had any further sightings of Oscar but we keep going as I could never give up on our boy, our best friend, our life's without him been with us.
Jan that is brilliant on having a story run on them both together and thats perfectly fine with us. If it helps getting one of our babies home it will make us smile. We will get them back, we don't know when or how but we'll never give up hope xx

2011-06-05 22:07 jann

Have asked Cornish Guardian whether they will run story on Sky and Oscar (if that's ok with you). Jan xx

2011-06-05 12:40 Jennysmum

Although this is far away from where I live I am following this and keep praying that Oscar is home soon. Our Jenny was missing for 5 nights and it was a living hell so I can't begin to imagine how you are coping after so long. As for those complaining abou the posters they would be better served using their voice to spread the word instead of complaining - sad People. Dogs are very resilient and I hope and pray that he will be back home with you soon xxx

2011-06-03 17:27 Maggie

OK I've sent a non-confrontational e mail to Mr Rogerson, explaining the situation, expressing my dismay and asking for his help in this matter. Michelle and Jon - if you want a copy of the email I can send you a copy if you let me have an address to send it to. I could put a copy on this site, but it's rather long & may take up too much room?
Good luck & ignore the beaurocrats if you can.

When I was putting up poster for a lost dog, the council workers told me that I could only put them on trees and not on lamp post as that is fly posting good luck

2011-06-02 19:57 angi

i agree with Reynard. I also feel they are trying to use the fly postering law and agree it does not apply here. I wish you luck with the article in the paper and this week end. I wish we didn't live so far away as I would be there in a shot. I will be sending lots of 'come home' vibes to Oscar and keeping everything tightly crossed. good luck will be thinking of you xx

2011-06-02 19:39 Reynard

I dont think they can make you in law take posters down, they are probably trying to use the Fly Postering law and you are NOT fly posting as you will be taking them down once Oscar is found and you are NOT advertising or asking for money! I would add to the posters that 'Once Oscar Has Been Found You Will Be Taking The Posters Down'
This happened here in Swindon all puff and wind, some jobs worth, it went no where!
I would perhaps also say to the council that there are not enough Public Notice Boards provided and in the right places in fact it is holy inadequate to meet your needs & once they are put up in suitable places you will galdly use them ,,,,,Michelle & Jon dont let them grind you down they are just the heartless face of bureaucracy!
Good luck for the weekend we are routing for you xxx

I hope Oscar's home soon and you can put all of this behind you. xx

Bumped.
There is a piece about Oscar in the North Cornwall Advertiser, page 4.
hoping this will bring in fresh sightings to help us in our search at the weekend.

2011-06-02 11:41 angi

I would also email or write in support.I really don't think you breaking any law. I can't believe how small minded the people where you live are. Well actually i can! one of the reasons I don't live there any more! we will help you all we can xx

2011-06-01 22:30 Barney 'n' Ozzie's mum

I am definetely up for emailing a letter of complaint to the council! Perhaps the local paper would be interested to hear about this too? Wish I was closer to help you. Stay strong - we are all with you x

2011-06-01 19:54 Maggie

What an outrageous act by the Council. The posters need to stay up whilst Oscar is missing. Would suggest that you contact your local concillors. Also if you are able to provide a name and contact e mail address I am sure many of us would e mail letters supporting you. The council need to sense the strength of feeling about this.
I'm so sorry for you, you do not need this. Sorry I am hundreds of miles away and cannot help otherwise.

2011-06-01 15:55 DogLostESSJ - Area Co-ordinator Bedfordshire

We are trying to get together a group of people willing to sit and observe places where Oscar is either known to have been sighted or is perhaps likely to cross- the plan so far is to meet up over the weekend. If anyone can help even for just a few hours on one of the days it would be hugely appreciated. Oscars event group is : https://www.facebook.com/?ref=logo#!/event.php?eid=134030950004491 Thanks xxx

2011-06-01 11:46 Michelleand Jon

It was a lady called Debbie Esbary (Street Ranger) from Cornwall council at Bodmin that rang. She really did not want to have to call me about this (she must be a dog owner)but has been put under pressure from the public complaints and said she now has to look as she is acting on them. If only these peolpe who complained can step into my shoes for just one day and feel how I feel thay would change their minds instantly. Our family friend is a retired solicitor so seeking advice from him. Going to try the papers and local TV for some publicity that Oscar is still missing.

2011-06-01 10:54 bazil

Disgusting but not suprising coming from jumped up council busybodies. Michelle I would not take the posters down and if they try to prosecute let them know you have thousands of people supporting you. Do try and check out the law but as far as I am aware you are requested to take them down once the lost animal is found. I am no expert though. You poor people as if you need this. Oscar son please show yourself xxx

2011-05-31 23:08 angi

what total ****s can they actually do that though? or are they blowing hot air. They don't own all the land etc I don't know that they have that sort of total authority. May be worth checking your lawful position.Many solicitors will give half hour free or citizens advice bureau. Lots of house insurance policies have free legal help line also. My heart goes out to you both xx

2011-05-31 20:42 Barney 'n' Ozzie's mum

This has made me really angry!!! How heartless can people be - don't they have pets themselves, and what harm can the posters really be doing???? I wonder if they are as quick to arrange for litter collections? I would just LOVE to give the jumped up busy bodies a piece of my mind!!!!!!!!

2011-05-31 19:17 Michelleand Jon

I have been ordered by the Council to take the posters down that are not on notice boards or shop windows and I have a week to do this or can be proscecuted. May I urge people who print off Oscar's posters to keep them in shop windows and notice boards, don't really want to be prosecuted. Took a few down and was saying sorry to Oscar on every one of them. Sometimes people can be so heartless unlike the community on here that have hearts of gold.Last edited: 2011-06-01 11:36:30 by Michelleand Jon

Right my Oscar boy, you have to come home now sweetheart you can be a new daddy. Emmie has given birth to 5 beautiful girls and 1 gorgeous boy. Come on sweetie follow the scent home, I know its raining and its hard to smell but please try. Love you my gorgeous Oscar boy xx

2011-05-27 07:56 Barney 'n' Ozzie's mum

2011-05-26 21:19 Michelleand Jon

I have scented from home over the fields down to De Lank river. The wind is very strong this evening so I am hoping with every last bit of my heart and soul that Oscar catches the scent and follows his nose home.

2011-05-24 22:15 Michelleand Jon

I have scented the sighted area's as much as I can. Also this evening the way up our drive. I hope he catches the scent and finds his way back. Do you think he will still know the scent after been missing for this long?

2011-05-24 20:19 Reynard

Perhaps scent this route or on the triangle points and one leading up your garden path!

Good Luck xxx

2011-05-24 12:18 Michelleand Jon

I do not mind you repeating this Angi it all helps as my head feels like a garbled mess. If Oscar has taken the river route he must has passed our house if he took the De Lank river route because this is only a field away.

2011-05-24 11:05 angi

I know you have looked at all this probably a million times but sometimes someone else saying it helps clarify :-) I'm from that way myself( although further east) but have to admit haven't lived in the area for 25years. Looking at the map he is at the moment following a classic triangle.
from the sighting at St Neot he moved to Collingford probably following the river Loveny ...from there he can hook up with the river Fowey again and cross the A30 near Bolventor ( don't know if a village there) and follow the river most of the way to the lake maybe using the De Lank towards the end.... From the lake he can probably follows the Fowey all the way back to Siblyback lake and down to St Neot and so on. Plenty of water most the way and of course wild fowl and rabbits. Sorry if I'm repeating what you alresdy know! x

Thank you Laura, when I spoke with the lady that reported the sighting she said it looked alot like the picture on Oscar's posters, a spaniel type of dog. I have been up to the Davidstow area this evening doing the bbq thing to try to attract sed dog but no joy.

2011-05-23 20:57 laura2001

Just wanted to make you aware that a border terrier was lost on Davidstow airfield on 22/05 so the sighting at Crowdy reservoir may possibly have been this. (He has now been found).

2011-05-22 22:21 angi

the lorry driver you said thought the dog looked very dark and he's probably quite dirty.It would be possible for him to cover that distance since the last sighting. he's still staying near water. Plenty of bunnies! x

2011-05-22 22:00 Michelleand Jon

I spoke with the lady and she said it was at Crowdy reservoir which is near Davidstow. On this side of the A30 about 20 miles from the St Neot sightings. She could not tell me whether the dog was liver and white or black and white so I went out looking anyway. It feels like a wild goosechase with having nothing concrete to work on but I will go searching with every sighting in the hope that one of these sightings is my boy.

2011-05-22 21:51 Reynard

Yes brilliant news, Posters rellly do their job thanks everyone!

2011-05-22 21:20 angi

Great that there has been another sighting.Oscar seems very active at this time of the day - just after 5pm - going to see if i can get some days off work to go down.I feel so helpless here :( Come on Oscar, it really is time to go home. i'm sure Emmie could use your help very soon xxx

2011-05-19 21:38 DogLostESSJ - Area Co-ordinator Bedfordshire

So did i, everyone at work wondered what was going on when i shot out of the shop and into the house (to record the tv) had to explain when i got back, meanwhile one helpful customer told my staff if i wanted a dog they knew where they sold collie and spaniel pups locally and not to worry too much as they were sure i would find my dog.
Really hoping this raises awareness in the area.
Oscar is in the Camelford Post this week and also on their website.
If only sheer willpower could bring Oscar home, he'd be snuggled up there right now.fingers crossed he will be- very soon xxx

I'll be going over to Colliford Tavern tomorrow they normally get quite a few in for the karaoke so will ask around. Fingers crossed someone will come good. I cried today when I get the text through that Oscar was on TV. I really that we hear something positive from this.

2011-05-19 18:03 DogLostESSJ - Area Co-ordinator Bedfordshire

Looking for someone in (or who knows someone in) St Neot. Thinking of possibly moving one of the traps close to where he has been sighted- subject to it being able to be checked on a regular occasion and in a secure place.if you know anyone please contact Michelle/Jon. Thanks x

I looked at the map too after the first st neot sighting and the river is a good possibility for him to use

2011-05-19 17:31 Barney 'n' Ozzie's mum

Just another thought - do you think if he is using the river he could get as far down as Trago Mills? There would be a good source of food for him there, so might be worth putting up some posters in the carpark and stores..

2011-05-19 17:11 Barney 'n' Ozzie's mum

Hi Michelleand Jon. Just been having a look at a map and if the recent sighting in St Neot is Oscar, he could be travelling between Colliford Lake and St Neot along the river (map shows it as St Neot River or River Loveny). Not unusual for dogs on the loose to stick by water, plus it will be a lot quieter than travelling by roads.

& Stitch 29533 was mentioned apparently

Good luck all!!!!

Another potential sighting of Oscar this evening near St Neot,Jon and Michelle been out looking but no sign of him.Posters are doing a grand job with helping with the recent sightings- without them there would be no calls- such a shame that a few people in the local area feel the need to complain about the posters though they are not left to become tatty or blow around. Keep your spirits up Michelle & Jon,"note to Oscar" please go home now little lad - we would love to be taking the posters down - for the right reasons xxx Bumping again due to sighting.

2011-05-18 22:40 bazil

Any sign of this lad today?? come on Oscar take the bait x

2011-05-18 12:43 Barney 'n' Ozzie's mum

Come on Oscar, you've got us all on the edge of our seats! Please, please, please take the lovely sausages......

I set the traps on my way back home. Baited tonight with his favourite 'Sausages'

2011-05-17 21:33 angi

I'm sorry you didn't see him but It's good he's going around the same area. are you still baiting the traps as he will probably go back to the pub.Good luck tomorrow x

Searched for Oscar after work but no sign of him. The fog started getting thick about 8.15 and reduced visability so came home. I shall go out after work again and hopefully will get a glance of him.

2011-05-17 16:36 Irene

What a shame the driver didn't wait suppose he had a time schedule, hope the company can give you further details. Irene

Oscar has just been sighted again nr to st neot heading toward colliford. Jon on his way over with instructions on how to react if he see's him. Everything crossed here. Xxx

2011-05-17 10:24 Michelleand Jon

We have received a call from a Jewson's Lorry driver, who thinks he may have seen Oscar at St Neot heading towards Colliford. Did say the dog looked like it had been living rough for a while. Looks dark like black but has the white markings as Oscar and is wearing a collar and silver tag. Hopefully this is him and he has just got a dirty coat and appears to look darker than he is. Jon has gone over there now to meet with the driver and see which direction he has headed and hopefully bring our boy home.

Hi there, we've just been through a week and a day of this with our Mabel, it was a living nightmare, I can't imagine how you are feeling after all this time. I can't help practically but just wanted to say I am thinking about you, I'll cross post onto Mabel's facebook group and another one that's come about from Mabel and Spencer going missing. xx

2011-05-16 08:46 bazil

Oh so pleased another sighting, good luck hope you bring him home soon, poor boy will be terrified, remember to take it really slow, gain his trust, let him come to you or if you have to go to him, edge sideways, slowly to get close to him x Come oscar your family love you and want you home xxx

2011-05-15 16:17 Barney 'n' Ozzie's mum

Fingers and paws all crossed here for you!! Hope nothing spooks him - you have probably already been told this, but remember to avoid eye contact, get low to the ground and speak softly to him or whimper. Have a slip lead handy to put over his head if he ventures close enough. He might not be brave enough straight away and you may have to take things slowly and gain his trust. Good luck - you truly deserve it xx

2011-05-15 15:20 Michelleand Jon

We have had another sighting. Over at Colliford near the Colliford Tavern where the traps are set. Come on boy be brave and come when we call for you.

2011-05-13 13:48 Barney 'n' Ozzie's mum

That's the spirit! It must be hard for you, but even if he hasn't been taken in and he is still on the loose, he will be managing to fend for himself - they all seem to, even the ones on the loose long term. If my daughter has no luck when she comes down on holiday, I will be holidaying down there myself (staying at Fentonadle - think that's how you spell it!)mid September, though I hope he's home long before then!!

2011-05-12 22:35 Michelleand Jon

Thanks Jean, if we get another sighting that matches his description I will organise another search as soon possible. Barney n Ozzie's mum we haven't had any sightings. We have been called about a dog this eveing but it has black on it. Also another call yesterday of a dog near Roche that has been sighted but waiting from a call back from a different dog warden that what I usually phone, all I know is that they didn't catch him. So much want him home. It feels like with hardly any sightings someone may have taken him in but I'm not giving up hope that I will get my boy back eventually.

2011-05-12 20:37 Barney 'n' Ozzie's mum

Have there been any more sightings near Colliford Tavern and are the traps still there? Was really hoping Oscar would have "given himself up" by now! My daughter and her boyfriend will be holidaying near you in a couple of weeks time and if Oscar has still not been caught by then, she has promised to help search for him while she is there.

2011-05-12 10:30 JeanC

I went to Colliford Lake yesterday with my 2 noisey dogs but alas i didn't see any dogs resembling Oscar. I was hoping the noise of my dogs might attract him if he was in the area. Is there going to be another group search for him?

2011-05-10 20:39 Michelleand Jon

Thank you Bazil I have called them and this one has been reunited with his owner.Last edited: 2011-05-11 16:28:10 by Michelleand Jon

Check out Springer spaniel found yesterday, Central - 29688, no picture yet, but who knows how far Oscar could have travelled. Worth checking x

2011-05-09 10:33 angi

fingers crossed.xx with fine weather and more people about on the moor hopefully he is more likely to be seen xx

2011-05-08 21:28 Michelleand Jon

Gave posters to the walkers doing the ten tours walk today. A photographic journalist saw what I was doing and took some details and a photo and said he will try to get the storey in the paper. If this happens hopefully poeple will notice this more rather than a missing advert.

2011-05-06 12:28 Michelleand Jon

I have spoken to Mary that works in the dog warden office today, she asked about any sightings so I told her about the one on the camel trail. She said that a collie was found there a few weeks ago and went back to his owner. Its really hard to know its Oscar for definate if and when we get a sighting but we chase up every sighting. Angi we have postered in about a 15 mile radious of our home so hopefully that area is covered, we will check the areas again and renew though. Thank you for the advice it will help if he show's himself again. Gemma35 thank you all the publicity helps. I would like to thank you all for your help and support, it means alot to us.

2011-05-05 13:46 bazil

Come on Oscar show yourself again xx
Brilliant posting/info angi. A real help to find any lost dog xx

2011-05-04 20:04 gemma35

hi. l am trying to help find oscar by posting on facebook pages

2011-05-04 11:33 angi

lost dogs usually move in a triangle so if you look on the map you can mark a potential triangle route. The lake and camel trail are two points about 10 miles apart as the crow flies ( or dog runs)in a reasonably straight line. My guess is he would go up further up rather than the other way down towards Bodmin town so you can mark out his third point and poster in that area. He should also therefore make his way back to the pub on this route. Fingers crossed I hope the new posters bring some news. xx

2011-05-03 22:31 JeanC

I am going to take my 2 dogs down to Colliford next week for a swim in the lake. They can get quite noisy and excited so might attract Oscar.
I will take notes of telephone numbers just incase. Not sure which day i will go. Depends on the weather.

2011-05-03 21:28 DogLostESSJ - Area Co-ordinator Bedfordshire

sorry everyone - have had no phone or computer access for a few days, bumping due to the possible sightings. x hurry home Oscar x

2011-05-03 19:14 angi

he's still around that's good news. Come on Oscar go back to the trap for the lovely garlic chicken smothered in mashed sardines ...you know you want too xx

2011-05-03 12:55 Barney 'n' Ozzie's mum

Good luck Michelleand Jon. Shame I'm not coming down your way on holiday until September, otherwise I'd be out there helping you (it's our intention to walk the Camel Trail when we are there!!)Hope he's home LONG before then xx

2011-05-03 08:37 jann

A possible sighting, that's good news ! You feel more positive when you have something to go on, somewhere to look. Good luck with postering, fingers crossed xx

2011-05-02 12:41 Michelleand Jon

We had a call this morning from a man saying he saw a brown and white springer collie cross 2 weeks ago at the Camel Trail but only just got our number, he did contact the dog warden but not heard anything since. Were off to put some posters up there today.

2011-04-30 14:21 Michelleand Jon

Thank you both. Trying to keep our hopes up but with no sightings it hard to know where to look for him. If this is our Oscar over at Colliford I just wish that he would go into the trap we have set or even show himself to someone.

2011-04-30 11:18 DogLost Volunteerselina

Still thinking of you both and willing Oscar home, have bumped on the facebook page again.

2011-04-28 20:25 angi

we will keep everything crossed that TWO lovely dogs are reunited very soon xx

2011-04-28 17:29 Michelleand Jon

The posters are still about in shops and notice boards. I'm going to renew to keep interest. The trap was still set this morning when I went over. Jon had a call from a farm at Otterham Station about a ddog matching Oscar's description that had been going to eat food for the last 3 mornings but this wasn't Oscar and they couldn't tempy him to catch him. He was a young black and white dog that looked like he had been living out for a while. So we went through the searches and came across Todd who had been missing since November and gave the owners a call with the details and telephone number hopefully this is him and his mum and dad can get him home safely.Last edited: 2011-06-01 11:32:36 by Michelleand Jon

2011-04-26 22:16 Barney 'n' Ozzie's mum

Oh dear!! Hope the little minx hasn't been taking the food from outside the trap aswell then! Are you keeping up with the postering just incase Oscar has moved away from the lake area? Hope this isn't the case and that he is just trying to get up the nerve to go in the trap x

2011-04-26 19:00 Michelleand Jon

Well to prove that the trap is working right Max the landladies cat got herself caught in it. Bless her she was wrapped up in Oscar's blanket waiting to be let out. Just need my boy to go in there now.

2011-04-24 23:07 jann

2011-04-24 20:55 Michelleand Jon

Trap has been set again this evening with liver, roast beef and garlic chicken. Hopefully one of these smells will catch Oscar's attention and he will go in to investigate. He does like his Sunday roast so fingers crossed.

2011-04-24 10:17 Michelleand Jon

I have been over this morning and the trap hasn't been touched. So will get some garlic chicken ready and bait the trap with that too. It seems like a long time we have had the trap out but I suppose it is down to Oscar been brave enough to go back to the area. I'm just hoping that he hasn't been scared off fully when he met with Cody at the last sighting cos Cody is a very big lad, about 5 times bigger than Oscar.

2011-04-23 15:54 angi

come on Oscar tonights the night to go home. dogs love liver also those that are trying to trap the little pup that's just been spayed have been advised that garlic chicken and sardines works best as bait.x

2011-04-23 12:25 Michelleand Jon

There has been a bit outside it and it is been taken. I got got some liver to put in there tonight. We stayed over at Colliford again last night but no food taken when I checked this morning.

2011-04-22 23:53 bazil

Come on Oscar come home, be brave little man x

2011-04-21 18:37 Barney 'n' Ozzie's mum

Are you still leaving any food outside the trap and is it still being taken?

2011-04-21 11:18 Michelleand Jon

I Have put a t-shirt in there that I slept in for a few nights and one of his teddies. I'm just hoping that the dog he met him the garden didn't scare him away too much.

2011-04-20 17:30 angi

come on Oscar be brave xx

2011-04-20 17:19 Barney 'n' Ozzie's mum

Have you put an old jumper or something with your scent on in the trap with the food? Something familiar might just persuade him to venture inside..

2011-04-20 17:14 Michelleand Jon

Sorry nothing to report. I moved one of the traps last night to outside the enclosed rear garden just incase he is scared of going in there because of the big dog he came nose to nose with. But there is still one inside the garden too. I know its a waiting game but I wish he would be a brave little boy and go inside one to get food.

2011-04-19 10:15 Flo

We didn't pick the trap up till late last night so we are going over to see the landlady at Colliford Tavern this evening to see if we put the trap in her back yard. I think it will be ok as she mentioned about trapping Oscar also. Was thinking about leaving the trap unset for a night or two but still baiting it so he will get use to going in there for food. Don't want to scare him off straight away. I do hope this is my boy.

This is fantastic news! He may have been too scared to approach when you were BBQing. Really hope with a routine going you get to see him and eventually bring him home x x x x

this really does sound positive. How many dogs like Oscar can be lost on Bodmin moor at the moment. Everything now tightly crossed! xx

Wow, this sounds really positive!! See if you can leave an item of clothing with your scent on nearby too. Hope he's home with you really soon xx

2011-04-09 12:31 Michelleand Jon

At last maybe a bit of positive news. While we were going over to camp out we had a call from the Colliford Tavern landlady. About 12.30 Thursday night/Friday morning there was a young dog matching Oscar's description in there back yard. Cody (landladies big dog) went out and and they were having a sniff at each other and then (maybe) Oscar ran off. Sausages were put out for him last night and they were gone this morning. So this is going to continue to get a routine going then hopefully if we can ge a live trap then maybe, just maybe we can get him home. I was bbq'ing till 4.40am this morning and he didn't come to us with the smell.

2011-04-08 21:47 bazil

Good luck for tonight, come on Oscar time to go home with your Mum & Dad xxx

2011-04-08 19:16 Barney 'n' Ozzie's mum

Great idea! I assume you will be taking a car? If he is used to travelling in it and it is right by where you are camping, perhaps leave a door open and he might jump in - it has been known to happen!! Will be keeping everything crossed for you x

Great to hear you are having a positive day, fingers crossed your boy shows himself very soon x

2011-04-07 22:37 Michelleand Jon

No news of Oscar but had a call from some young lads that found a local dog that wasn't far from his home, while they were on an experdition of Bodmin moor. So I have sent them a photo of Oscar and they are looking for him while out and about. Please thank your husband from us both. Today I feel like I'm having a positive day so hopefully that means he's somewhere close by.

2011-04-07 20:23 Barney 'n' Ozzie's mum

Hi Michelle and Jon. Any news? My husband returned from his business trip in the West Country today, but unfortunately nothing to report even though he did go along the A30 and some of the roads there off :-(

2011-04-06 20:50 Reynard

Posted at the same time Michelle & Jon so did not see your post,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,what rotten luck,,,come on Oscar show yourself lad! xxx

2011-04-05 21:59 Barney 'n' Ozzie's mum

Such a shame,but try not to lose heart - at least you know that word is getting around about him, and just take a look at the number of "views" Oscar's page has had!! Hope you get another sighting soon xx

2011-04-05 21:27 Reynard

Oh! blimey Michelle & Jon hope its the good news you ( & I ) have been waiting for , sending my prayers right now into the Ether for Oscar xxxLast edited: 2011-04-05 22:29:08 by Reynard

Everything crossed here for you - praying this is the news you've been waiting for!!

2011-04-05 20:27 Michelleand Jon

We have just had a call from a lady saying she has seen a found poster up in Summercourt/Mitchell area on a back road that looks similar to Oscar. We have contacted the number but got voicemail so left a message. Fingers crossed that this is our boy.

2011-04-05 19:42 DogLostESSJ - Area Co-ordinator Bedfordshire

bumping as Oscar is in the media . Sending you all the luck in the world that this time it will bring good news of your boy x

2011-04-05 18:52 Michelleand Jon

Thank you Barney 'n' Ozzie's mum that is very nice of you and your hubby. Yes Colliford lake and reservior is the same place.

2011-04-05 17:45 Barney 'n' Ozzie's mum

My husband is coming down to your area on business for 2 days tomorrow. He will be travelling down the A30, so I'm giving him a poster, spare dog lead and food just in case!! Is Colliford lake the same as Colliford reservoir?(can only see the latter on my map).

2011-04-05 13:55 Michelleand Jon

We haven't had any sightings since 27th March and they were few and far between before that. We're so worried about him. Come on boy show yourself to someone so we can bring you home. We have put Oscar in the Cornish Guardian again this week, just hope that if someone has picked him up they will see the advert and call.

2011-04-05 10:27 Flo

No worries. Have you come across this website http://www.dogpages.org.uk/sth-west.htm it lists lots of rescue centres in the south west. Worth checking you've contacted them all. Really hope you find your beautiful boy soon x

2011-04-04 16:59 Michelleand Jon

Thanks Selina and Flo. I have contacted Wingletang and then sent them a email with a photo of Oscar. They haven't had any dogs matching Oscar's description in either. But if there is anywhere you can think I will glady contact them if I haven't sent them a poster already.

2011-04-03 19:51 Flo

So sorry this weekend did not bring your boy home. Come on Oscar show yourself please. I have just posted this for Jan and thought of you too. Have you notified Margaret Green animal rescue about Oscar. They have a branch at Tavistock called Wingletang Animal Rescue & Rehoming Centre: 01822 810215.

Sorry to hear no news on your boy after your search - stay positive xx

2011-04-03 09:52 Barney 'n' Ozzie's mum

Such a shame that you didn't have any sightings. Try not to lose heart though - could be that he was spooked by all the extra people about and was lying low somewhere just watching. I'm sure all your hard work will soon be rewarded x

2011-04-02 20:41 Michelleand Jon

We would like to give a special very special thank you to all that have been on the search today. We were amazed of the amount of people that came to help. We have all covered alot of ground with no joy, unfortunately. But we shall carry on until our boy is found. Thank you all, we cannot show how much we appreciate all your help.

2011-04-01 22:43 doglover1

Hi Michelle, so sorry the found dog was not Oscar, Good luck tomorrow with your search, Im a little too far away to help (Bristol) but really hope you get some news soon. I will keep my eyes open for any other possible matches with Oscar. x

2011-04-01 22:25 Michelleand Jon

Thanks doglover1 I contact the lady mid week when I saw this on pirate fm helpdesk. Unfortunately this is not my boy. I'm on the search tomorrow with a group of helpers. Thank you all for the positive vibes xxxx

2011-03-31 16:15 DogLostESSJ - Area Co-ordinator Bedfordshire

Thanks Debs, The tavern has been thought of, it has recently reopened and we believe Oscar could gain access to the bins. the last probable sighting was on the same stretch of road that the tavern is on- but the road is 3 miles long appx.

2011-03-31 09:20 Debs

Have you been in touch with Colliford Lake Tavern. They are the A30 side if the resevoir and have a campsite. It might be somewhere the dog would visit if there is food around.

2011-03-30 21:40 Michelleand Jon

Thank you all for keeping an eye out for Oscar. A search party will be going out on Saturday. Jon will be BBQ'ing trying to entice Oscar out. Fingers crossed we will have him home that day for big mummy cuddles.

2011-03-30 09:15 Debs

Just to let you know that I have seen your posters up. I walk my dog up at Millpool/Temple on most days and have been keeping an eye open. Hope you find him soon.

2011-03-30 08:31 DogLostZZ - Co-ordinator, Cornwall

Complaints about missing dog posters are commonplace down here, motivated by people with nothing better to do, who want everything 'pretty pretty.' Many of the councillors are sympathetic to us, and they don't relish having to mention the complaint to owners. They have to go through the motions, though, its their job. My advice to owners is to smile sweetly, but then get on with postering where necessary to help find their missing family member. Although I haven't been personally involved with the search for Oscar, I am following the case, and my heart is with you all. Bodmin is vast, and the fact that you've had sightings is fantastic. Pleased other co-ords have mnentioned the BBQ, have had some success with it. It is a longshot, but worth trying. Scent rises best in dry weather between 8-9.a.m., and 9.-10.p.m. The smell can carry for 3 miles or so, which is within a dog's nose range. Thinking of you all.

2011-03-29 23:11 Reynard

VERY Good Luck xxx

2011-03-29 19:28 DogLostESSJ - Area Co-ordinator Bedfordshire

Great minds Spindle! Michelle and Jon have this morning started to co-ordinate another search for Oscar. This will take place on Saturday morning and afternoon. If anyone can help and be part of the search then please email me at bedsdoglost@gmail.com and i can give you the details of when and where Michelle and Jon will be. We need to make sure that Oscar is not scared away by all of the extra attention so a meeting has been arranged so we can explain what to do if he is sighted.

2011-03-29 16:54 Spindle

Complainers have probably never had the heartache of losing a dog!!! think time has arrived we need big search party out there on the Oscar hunt!!!!!

Have you already tried luring him out with a portable barbecue? I know you say it's a vast area, but they say a dog's sense of smell is so much better than ours, hopefully he'll catch a whiff and come exploring? Good luck and ignore the moronic idiots who clearly have no feelings x

2011-03-28 22:59 LoopyLurcher

Have emailed link to friend near Jamaica Inn in Draynes valley. Think Colliford Lake Rd is on that side of A30? Hope you find Oscar v soon. If I'm down there later this week will keep eyes peeled.

Some people are really thoughtless and selfish. Dont let this stop you! Keep up the good work

2011-03-28 16:06 Michelleand Jon

Would you believe this I has just had a phone call from Cornwall Council. Someone has phoned and complained about the posters I have put up and littering cos some may have been blown off. I go round and pick any up that have been blown off and replace them with new posters. As if it is not bad enough that Oscar is missing some small minded person wants to complain.

2011-03-28 14:29 Michelleand Jon

There was nothing yesterday. I was out there all day, asking people and giving them flyers. The lady that rang with the sighting could only tell me (in broken English) that it was the Colliford Lake road. The problem being this road is about 3 miles long on the moor. If this was Oscar she saw then he could be holing up anywhere along here, in the trees or under a gorse bush. I'll be out there again searching later.Last edited: 2011-06-01 11:25:35 by Michelleand Jon

Oscar is in the newspapers again this week. If you are in the area, or know someone in the area, please share Oscars page. He may have been taken in by someone locally as the sightings have stopped, or he may have moved further afield.

It's hard, him not being here, having cuddles and sleeping at the bottom of our bed, making his way under the quilt. Life feels empty without him so thats why were never going to give up. I have faith that we will get him home its just a matter of finding him first.

2011-03-15 17:15 Michelleand Jon

We scent every day leading to our house and hang a t-shirt I slept in the night before on the gate. I have called woodside today and emailed gables. The local firing range officer has been contacted and a poster put up in their gate. The army are not on manouvers yet but will be in touch when they come to Davidstow. Oscar should be in the paper again tomorrow, hopefully someone will call. Went to see a springer found in Redruth today but it wasn't my boy. I have contacted the radio station and advertised him though.

2011-03-14 17:34 Flo

Being rural does make it so much more difficult, I live on dartmoor so know what its like. Dont give up hope. Have you tried scenting at all?, some people on here have found that really helpful. Also have you been ringing all the rescue centres regularly, even the ones in plymouth like Woodside and Gables, just incase someone picked him up and took him to one. What about the Army training and the firing ranges-maybe worth trying to contact them to keep a look out when they are training on the moor x

2011-03-14 17:10 Michelleand Jon

With no sightings I really don't know where to look next as we are so rural. It's been 5 weeks now and it's not getting any easier. Jon is going to put posters at Kivell's farmers sale/auction this week just incase Oscar is on a farm somewhere.

2011-03-03 21:26 DogLostKimmybear - Area Co-ordinator Essex and Herts

Keep going, keep postering, you are doing well. Dogs are amazing and their survival instincts kick in when left to fend for themselves. He was probably having a little adventure and realised he'd strayed a little too far. He's out there waiting for you to find him.

We have had call call from a lady that thinks she saw Oscar yesterday, just outside St Breward in the field opposite the church. She was looking for a black and white dog until she saw the poster then called us. She is going to walk her female dog in that area from now on to try to entice him. We have been and done the scenting around that area and been walking there till it got dark. Fingers crossed someone will grab him so we can have him home.

2011-02-27 14:08 DogLostESSJ - Area Co-ordinator Bedfordshire

Michelle and Jon have spent the last two nights up where Oscar was last seen finishing with a bbq at dawn. No signs of him at all. Any help locally would really be appreciated. Widening the area of postering in case Oscar has kept moving and generally making people aware that he is missing, we really need some fresh sightings of him to try and pinpoint the area where he is staying x

2011-02-25 19:34 DogLostESSJ - Area Co-ordinator Bedfordshire

Sending you lots of luck and positivity tonight Michelle and Jon. An all night vigil where Oscar was last sighted and a tasty and smelly bbq to hopefully lure him in along with some scenting. Come on Oscar its time for you to find your mum and dad, they want to take you safely home where its warm and dry xxx

It is believed that Oscar is around the colliford/warleggan/millpool firing range area, 4 seperate sightings and all seem to place him in around this area.
Bumping again due to sightings.

2011-02-21 18:53 Michelleand Jon

Yes we are very rural. We have informed all the local farmers that Oscar is missing. Also the north Cornwall hunt have been informed and are looking for him as they would be able to get to places on the moor on horseback better than foot. Thank you for sharing information on facebook I'm trying to get everyone I know who lives in Cornwall to do the same.

2011-02-19 10:30 DogLostESSJ - Area Co-ordinator Bedfordshire

Bumping due to possible sighting.

I am assuming it's quite rural where you are? Are there any farm buildings or anything of that nature near you that he could have got shut in to? Would be worth asking any neighbouring properties to check outbuildings/sheds too. Hope he's home soon x

Sorry to see that OSCAR MISSING 2 YEARS NOW is missing.
If your dog is microchipped please let the microchip company know that your dog is missing and at the same time, check that all details held are up to date.
If you have not already done so contact dog wardens, vets and local rescue centres, and in Scotland, contact the Police.
Give them all a detailed description of your dog with any distinguishing marks/scars or send them a copy of your DogLost poster. You can find vets in your own area by clicking on the green 'Find Any UK Vet' graphic near the top right hand side of the page under the 'latest missing dogs' photo.
A photograph of your dog is essential - if you have not already uploaded a picture, please do so by clicking on 'Update Details' above, or you can email admin@doglost.co.uk with a photo of your dog, quoting the dog's DogLost ID number. You can also add comments and update your dog's status by clicking on the title bar at the top of the comments list. You will need to be logged in to upload photos, edit your dog's details, or add comments.
You can obtain a 'MISSING' poster by clicking on 'View Poster' above. POSTERS ARE EXTREMELY IMPORTANT. Start postering now!
If your dog is picked up and taken to rescue kennels, they can be re-homed legally after 7 days, so please try to visit rescue centres to look for your dog and give them a poster. Do not rely on checking by phone alone, as other people may not recognise your dog by your description.
Please keep us updated by keeping your dogs page up to date and check for posts from helpers that may have suggestions and possible matches or sightings.
If your dog has been stolen please inform the police immediately and obtain a crime reference number (CRN) for the theft.
DogLost is free – anyone asking for money to return your dog is not working for us, and may offer fake photos as 'proof'. If you think we may have called you but aren't sure, please contact us on the phone number or email address at the top of our homepage. We can't stop criminals from trying, but we can confirm if we tried to contact you.
