This page has now been updated with Josh's age as it would be now, and the fact that his face would be more white now with age. For information, it was believed that Josh had been sold on to a lady at Derby horse auction between January and end of February 2006.

The ploiceman followed it up for me and got back to inform me the dog was not Josh- He was a younger dog and only just been neutered- I didnt post because I feel really depressed at the news- nearly 18 months on and we still have no real idea of where i the country he might possibly be now- he could literally be anywhere i the uk- i am not giving up but just do not know where to look or what to do now

Would it be worth employing a private detective although I realise the cost factor has to be taken into consideration. Frankly I don't know the cost of employing such people, but might be worth getting a quote. Just trying to think what I'd be doing. You are certainly chipping away at the police and badgering will probably pay off. My heart goes out to you and you must stay strong for your baby. Everything's crossed for an early and great result xx

2007-04-27 09:08 Tilly

Hi I have read the whole of this thread last night with interest and sadness. 3 years ago I lost my dog Tilly and 8.5 months later I got her back! Never give up hope. I realise it is hard to keep going and as time moves on you wonder how much time you must dedicate to your missing dog. Initially I slept, ate and dreamt about Tilly, lost over a stone in weight and couldn't give up searching. As time moved on I still did bouts of 'postering' ads in papers etc. but I realised that I must spend time with my children etc. I wouldn't let this lady at the sale go forgotton however - that lead does sound promising. Don't waste your time and money on physics why haven't they all won the lottery if they know so much? Sadly Tilly has disappeared almost 3 years to the day again. I know where she was picked up by the dog warden last time and I wonder if the people who stole her came and got her back? My heart is breaking again and I am doing the searching etc. all over again. I will carry on looking.

Just because a crime is committed in one Police Authorities jurisdiction does not mean that another cannot investigate it. Where IS their knowledge of the Theft Act. "To dishonestly appropriate property belonging to another with the intention of permenantly depriving the other of it." I would keep harrasing the Police until they do do something. The Police Complaints Board is a good place to go to. Start getting names/numbers of the police to whom you speak and say that you want to know exactly what they are doing here. As an ex-WPC I know that we were not allowed to pick'n'choose the crimes we investigated - or has the system changed since I left the job? Rattle cages here .... this sad page has the potential to to turn blue. Just cite the wonderful police officer in East Anglia that went into a Travellers section to get the dog out. It makes me mad when people are fobbed off like this. Keep your hopes up and keep going! Finn

With regard to the Derby Evening Telegraph all newspapers carry a back copy on file of each edition be it in newsprint or film. So it would be worthwhile to go into one of their offices and ask to see the competition story of the date Shell1 refers to and take a photocopy of the page. Josh is very much in everyone's hearts on this site. He is such a sweetheart. I do so hope he's reunited with his owner very soon. Sylv x

Thank you so much to Jayne for putting him in countrymans weekly- Hope it produces something- We have never given up- we followed Derby telegraph but they couldnt give us details because of data protection act- Derby police wouldnt act because he went missing in Staffordshire and Staff police didnt want to know in the first place or now as we have no proof- We also continually poster vets on a regular basis just i case weve been forgotten

What a harrowing traumatic story, I have read through all of the postings for poor little Josh. How these thieves can live with themselves is beyond me !! As for buying a little pedigree dog at a horse auction or anywhere else, surely the person buying him must have been suspicious? I really hope that this little boy can soon be recovered safely and returned to where he belongs, his loving owner. Good luck x

I live in Derby and recently in the Derby Evening Telegraph there was a competition to find the best pet, there were about six pages of pictures of peoples pets and one of the dogs submited looked exactly like the picture of josh obviously that wasn't his name but the resembelance was uncanny and stuck in my mind.

So sorry josh is not back home with you yet, I suspect this woman at horsefair who bought him may be aware he is missing and that is why she hasn't visited since, I know how these gentle little dogs can worm their way into your heart but it's not her baby and it wasn't your fault he was stolen , if you haven't already do another batch of posters for vets in and around derby and with a description of woman hopefully will jog somebodies memory and let them know you have not given up looking,( there is a found ruby dog on site which is going to be checked for a chip it does say young dog not sure if five years is classed as young ) come home dear little man....................

Agnetha, I am so sorry that your little Josh hasn't been found yet. Sending you positive thoughts that he will be home soon. Wish I could wave a magic wand and bring him back to you. These Cavaliers get right under our skin don't they? Big snuffly hugs from my two for you. I'm sure he's safe and well and not at deaths door - no respectable psychic would ever say that to you. I know plenty of psychics and mediums and know for a fact that a good one would never say such cr*p. Sorry, but I feel that this person was a complete charlatan :~( Wish I could do something to help you get him back but I am miles from you :(

Thank you so much- I find it very difficult to post because I just dont know what to do anymore- We have different possibilities from different animal communicators and we have followed them all up visiting everywhere they suggest and postering everywhere- The one thing that we need is for the woman who bought the dog bed to return to the stall and so we can find from her if she still has him or where he is now- but the lady who sells the dog beds lost her dad so hasnt beren to derby much- fate seems to conspire against us over this- we are always everywhere just that bit too late- I am, still looking for him - shall never give up and still miss him like craszy0 thank you so much for your kind words

Not a day has passed by wheres ive not thought of you and Josh,,,i was hoping to see him in the blue today. I really wouldnt listen to these people,,if they were TRUE readings they would not give negative details.....this is what i have learnt in the past. I pray to god that your little man will be found, its so heart wrenching not knowing where he is is.......i really wish i could do more to help you. I think Josh should have his poster up in every town possible.......someone has to know his whereabouts ????? can dog lost not email every dog lost helper in the country so we can get the little mans face seen all over. Anne i do hope you are ok, i feel for you so so much, you take care!xx

FROST... sorry VOLCANO... please un-susspend, if such a word, your account so we all can see and help with your stuff. cut to the chase. Is any of the stuff you posted actually True ? can you prove it ? or are you playing games. I hope not the latter! all seems confusing..... to me anyway. i may be just thick! IF so post a message and confirm. That will be the end of subject.. finished and Forgotten, if you say all is right, This can be looked into and we have confirmation anyway. Next, this, if you know anthing about, is how it looks. and the following will be sought. Outrageous conduct to support claim for intentional infliction of emotional distress ...

The search will go on and on..... so remember your not in it alone, and any crap you hear of mystic meg, forget, My dog talks more sense in his sleep. and he does a lot of it....

Hi Agnetha50, have replied to your PM so sorry I haven't replied sooner. Don't worry Josh is fine please please don't worry. You need to take what clairvoyants tell you with a pinch of salt (I have been told that sometimes a bad spirit can come in and make someone give you false readings!!) - how true I don't know but to be honest I take things like this with some degree of caution. But I agree with Candy I remember hearing from somewhere that you will never get anything negative in a reading only the good. Stay positive and strong and remember we're all here if you need us. xx

This is so traumatic for you agnetha50, I don't know what to say to make you feel any better. I just hope our support will be enough for you at this hard time. Why are psychics always so 'woolly' with their prophesies, maybe this and maybe that, I am sure if someone was a true psychic they would give positive details. Just you take care now and we are all willing Josh home. Dolly 6.2.05

I have just received a reading from Volcanos friend and and am more than a bit confused- I was told he was well - but in this reading I am told he is being moved around all over the place- Brighton is mentioned - hes been sold on several times and im told he wont be back and it finishes with telling me hes very near to passing- I just dont understand how i can be tiold hes okay and well looked after and then told hes miles away and at deaths door- I just dont know what or who to believe- This is so so upsetting- am I being played with

Just to let everyone know we are still actively looking for Josh- We had a positive identification at Derby Horse auction in February but since then no positive id but all vets in a 50 mile radius have been postered (hopefully) and all businesses in the Littleover area plus regular trips to the horse auction but as yet have turned up nothing- Volcano has kindly paid her friend the psychic who assures us he is StILL in the area he was first and not far from us- ie still with the woman on her own

Alghough it may seem quiet, we are working behind the scenes to keep Josh to the fore, and stay in contact with his owner constantly, we have sent out mailings within the last few weeks highlighting Josh and other missing Cavalier owners plights. This weekend is an annual rescue event where again Josh and others will be highlighted.........together with his owner we'll never give up, it's nice to know that others are still out there helping too

Really hope Josh comes home soon. Typical Cav to see an exciting chance to escape, my two would do it if given half a chance. Wish I was nearer and could do something to help. Thinking of you :~)

My! you guys deserve a medal for all the hard work you are putting into this case. some one has to know of the whereabouts of this little boy.if not the present owner but other people. He cannot be kept hidden indefinitely. Good Luck in all you do to get him back.x

hi i am taking a break from attending appleby horse fair where i have just spent the last three days (with the stabbing on saturday it is really scary) there are definately no cavaliers on this site and i went round every caravan there and it is a very extensive site the main breeds were yorkies jack russells three staffies (two brindle one red and white) one chiuaua (sorry about the spelling) one pomeranian and quite a few greyhounds. but definately no cavaliers met a nice lady who was in fact under cover looking for them selling pets on the site as apparently this is illegal gave her posters of missing dog she has said she will keep a look out travellers taking a keen interest in two curly haired retrievers so if you have one of these then keep them safe. Happy to say two more dogs have been recovered from the guildersome site at leeds police and dog warden went onto site to look for springer taken with a car in bradford area they did not find it at first but they did find another micro chipped dog there and they told travellers they would be back shortlly after a phone call was received to say the dog they were looking for was tied up on a fence they police are sure it is the same woman proscecuted last year for dog theft going to the area where josh sent missing from several friends are coming with me to cover all the sites over there i refuse to stop looking. springer and other dogs were destined for appleby unfortunatel whilst watching everything going on i was spotted (this info came in a phone call from my informant over there so i will have to lay low for a bit)

Also Home-ward Bound Horse Rescue have a stand there each month to raise money.Might be worth talking to them as they have alot to do with local horse people.Hope this helpsx

I pray you have josh home soon , i am in lincoln but I said about my husbands family in ripley derbyshire , they are elderly so can't get about much but will ask his aunt what are good places to post she's very knowledgable of whole of notts/ derby areas, as it's been pointed out this person may be aware he is being searched for and may be monitoring this site even if this person hasn't had to visit a vet with her other dogs, she may well have seen his poster elsewhere. I know that not all supermarkets will display posters but petshops are pretty good , if it's been a while do the vets again with a discription of this lady with dogs also the sorting office. I would have thought that if she has attended these auctions with her dogs in tow even if she isn't immediatly local and walked i wouldn't have thought she would be driving for hours think of a 5o mile radious to derby i have mentioned the ripley local paper what about the nottinghamshire and staffordshire ones I will try to find out.

does anyone in the derby/newcastle area know of a travellers site near a cemetary please let me know asap info needed in relation to josh it is a fairly big field with caravans on it but i l ive a long way away from derby but will go as soon as i can get this info. recently went to derby an d found some cemetaries but didn't have time to go round them also if there are any horse fairs near YOU please find out if there is anyone going look our for transit vans without windows these are the type of vehicles that these dogs are being kept in in crates they are kept covered over to stop them barking' if u see anything that arouses your suspicions (travellers can be spotted a mile off) make sure you have the number of the nearest police station take the number of the vehicle in case the leave - ring police asap. You may all be interested to know that the dogs i am having trained to sniff out dogs in these vans are coming on really well one in particular seems to be outstanding at his job

Hi everyone- Just an update on the situation- I have been so down and although I have read everyones posts I have not posted back- I have been to the horse auction twice with loads of leaflets and must have handed over 200 out- We had positive confirmations of sightings for the 11th Feb and that the lady who bought him also bought a dog bed for him but the lady has not been back since 11th Feb.. I have sent posters to every supermarket, pet shop and in Derby and every vet in Leicestershire, Nottinghamshire, Debyshire and Staffordshire- It is now 3 months and I havent heard anything at all about him being seen since 11th Feb.which is 2 months ago- I dont know where he is, whether hes being looked after so i havnt really anything else to post. Thank you all for ypour messages of support.

Will do mailshot if someone can advise on postcodes for area, please PM me - messages for us to update should be sent direct to us... so sorry for delay but we're all volunteers and we have to check hundreds of pages of dogs daily and don't necessarily spot everything unless it's pointed out directly... issues like tip offs are taken seriously and we don't like missing potential leads. Good luck with this one!

Agnetha - Im sure Josh WILL be found safe and well and be back home where he belongs with you before much longer. I know how devastating this must be for you but try to stay focused on the positive points: he wasnt found, therefore he must be somewhere else and as a friendly chap who would get in a car (esp. as the j.r. came home) chances are thats exactly whats happened and if it was him at Derby market then someone has bought him and paid for him and WILL be caring for him. Even if they only go to the market every couple of months & so missed the last lot of posters I PROMISE you I will ensure posters are put up there until we find the lady who purchased the dog we think is Josh is traced. Keep you chin up girl - just because time is passing doesnt mean we will forget or give up. Kennelmaid (Alison) xxx

Im with you on that one Sheltie Lady, I'll contact East Mid Rescue in the morning, RSPCA in Derby & Chesterfield and Jerry Green in Blidworth (Just in case the lady who bought him has panicked and handed him in anywhere, although I doubt it) Also keep checking admag every Sat & Wednesday. Just a thought but as it was a horse auction have any posteres been sent to Melton Mowbray as many people who frequent Derby also go the MM horse sales?

Only me again!! Just looked at the poster, can it be changed to include the new info re the woman who has bought Josh? Someone must know who she is or the area she is from, at least! My brain is going overtime on Josh's case and I'm determined he should be found.

Last edited: 2010-05-11 02:17:18

Just had another thought, how about contacting the dog warden for Derby area to see if they might know who this woman is?? Also, I'm checking if any local dogshows are on soon around this area. If so, perhaps the secretary may put some posters in the venue for you. Will be in touch soon.

Hi Anne, good on ya kennell maid, if i lived near i'd be scanning derbyshire without out a doubt,,,im getting the feeling that you are getting close to Josh, this woman who bought him must be a regular!!! maybe you should try the bbc east mids is it?? see if they will they will do a interview with you advising how Josh went missing when he did and thet you are appealing for this lady to come forward or to anyone else who may of seen him...He's got to be local to derby - i just have that feeling.. if there is anything i do with regards to phone or by the computer you just let me know Anne, take care Donna

I am determined that we all pull together on this one, there has got to be local helpers that can assist! Can the posters be altered to include the new info ( that he has been sold on , to an 'innocent' person ) and are there any heplers that could do a mail drop around the Derby area? If several houses are done in as many streets/areas as possible, then surely someone will find something out! Also, how about contacting the nearest Post Office main depot - postmen know what dogs are where!! Around here, we have small firms that do Door to Door leaflet drops, how about this??

So glad you have someone willing to attend on Saturday for you. A tip I have read on Doglost is to word the posters as Lost or missing and not stolen, as this can put them off. Also, as travellers may be involved (!) could you try altering the poster to show a cash figure as a reward for 'finding' him. I have my fingers crossed for you, all my shelties have their paws crossed for Josh too. Good luck.

The horse auction is held agiain next Saturday and is held in Chequers road Derby. A lady from the Cavaliers forum has got a picture of josh and is very kindly going there. As he may have been sold he could be anywhere as people go there from all over- I have sent a poster and a letter to all vets in Derby and posters to the people who hold the auction. I have spoken to the police in Derby and they cannot do anything unless I am sure it is Josh- i have a crime number- they did say that people are sometimes not keen to buy pedigrees off travellers so he may still be around.

Any news yet? Has anyone local been able to help? Can you find out if the horsefair is a regular event there and if so when is it being held next? I 'found' a blenheim cavvie yesterday, on the way to a dog show, wandering on the road amongst traffic. We pulled up and a put a lead on him. After knocking some doors, I found the owner who shouted at the poor dog to get back inside and then slammed the door on us! It emerged from speaking to a neighbour that the dog is always on the road!! I nearly offered to buy him as he was obviously not wanted. It upset us , even today I am thinking of him. All the dogs that go missing with their owners desperate to have them home, and then you get ones that are not wanted in the first place. I pray you have good news soon, as I said before , if I was near I'd help you out in person. Good luck.

Anne after reading about the return of one of the boxers today have you thought of drawing up a map with a radius of say 50-75 miles, and ringing all the Dog Wardens in this area? it's a tall order I know, it just keeps coming back to me about that boxer being dumped 50 miles away from where she was taken. Forgive me if you have already done this.

Good for you Anne, it was worth a shot. With a lot of travelers it depends on the attitude you go in with, of course you do get those with an immediate chip on their shoulder, but I have encountered a fair few within Rescue and I've even had tip offs from them! I've contacted my friends who are going to give me your local dog show venues. I'll PM you as soon as I get them. It may be a long shot but, as I said yesterday there are a lot of dog show people out there some of whom live on ordinary estates with just a couple of dogs, they might have seen a new dog in their area, plus some of these people live a bit further afield, target those too. I hope by the time we meet at Bingley hall Josh is home safe and sound and I will get to meet him too. Take care x

Today Ive put up postters round the westlands in newcastle and called in at the local travellers/caravan site. I was a bit nervous because i didnt want them to think i was accusing them, which i wasnt but just asking for help, but they were extremely welcoming and have promised to look out for him. There were loads of dogs there but all well looked after and really friendly- in fact i fell in love with two- a funny looking jrt cross and a lovely lurcher-

I wish I had read your page sooner - i've been so wrapped up in my own misery that I havent looked further. It sounds like we are in fairly similar situations... both chipped and no sign of them. I want to have hope in the chip, but like you say you hear all sorts about vets not scanning, etc. And I know what you mean about feeling like they never existed. Its absolutely heartbreaking, and i know exactly how you feel. I think you have to have faith in the fact he is chipped... if someone has him, at some stage he will get to a vet, and the chances are that hopefully he'll get scanned at some point. This is the only thing that keeps me going with my Willow. My mother has King Charles spaniels. We had one called Emily who had a skin condition too. They are the sweetest little dogs... I do feel for you. Stay strong... dont listen to awful abusive people. I put an ad in the paper and the only response I got was someone trying to sell me their whippet. People are so insensitive and thoughtless and unless you are going through what we and so many others on this site are, you dont understand. I so hope and prey you will get him back soon. Stay strong and best of luck. thinking of you, Ali x ( willow 22.1.06)

This has been a funny week- it started off with a phone call which was really upsetting and 2 more phone calls of dogs nothing like a cavalier and ended up with us really being no nearer to finding him. I find some days im so positive and think this is the day we are going to get him back and then other days i feel its going to be exactly the same as the last 4 weeks and no sight and no chance of getting him back

Don't let these idiots upset you. some very silly people out there. Like post said, don't state reward & ask for a distinguishing feature.Don't meet anyone alone in quiet areas. A lot of it's common sense but if you think they have got Josh you will be more bothered about him. Stay strong as you've already seen Doglost is a fantastic site & the reunited stories say it all. Just wish Poppy would turn up for Jo.

Is there something about Josh that distinguishes him from other breeds like him, cause if there is you could get the caller to tell you that before you go any further with the call, ie a tooth missing, a mole on his belly, etc etc etc . Good luck with the search for Josh.

Hang on in there Anne, I'm so sorry you have to encounter these sicko's, unfortunately they are out there with nothing else better to do than play on people emotions who are very vunerable, and seem to get some kind of thrill out of it, they are just pathetic low lives. As Ruth has already said, do take a friend or two with you, and make sure anyone you arrange to meet is in a public place.

Please try not to be too upset, Tigger's owner Karen endured some dreadful hoax calls, I am afraid people are just so sad that it gives them some kind of kick. Personally I would state that there is a cash reward but not how much. Also Offer a reward but don?t state the amount. Also never respond to a contact alone. Take a friend or two with you and arrange to meet in a public place. Hang in there, there are alot of people who are doing good things to help Josh and they far outweigh the cranks.

Agnetha50 - if you get anymore on this lead and want some help email me. I was up from London briefly at the weekend and saw posters everywhere! If the lead has given any specifc area I would really recommend leaflet-ing as many houses as possible as this is exactly how we got our dog back. Do you think its worth asking Royal Mail to help? I was also thinking if this woman has kids it must be worth postering all schools and trying to get the kids attention that way? V

Thank you everyone so much for your words of comfort, support, advice and suggestions- I have come to the conclusion that he cannot be roaming around the area because he would have gone to someone- i am concentrating on believing he is still alive and out there somewhere and have just posted to30 vets in staffordshire, some in cheshire and some in shropshire andkeeping everything crossed

Good thought Gay. I still don't think it would do any harm for anyone not in the area and reading this to do a poster for your vet and tell them that Josh is microchipped. I've notified mine and I'm up in North Yorkshire but it won't harm to get the word as far as we can. I have spread the word to others and asked them to notify their vets. We must get this little chap home where he belongs.

Just had another thought. Are Stoke City at home this week? If so, you could try getting some posters up there....anyone local happen to know TV presenter Nick Hancock? Believe that he lives very close to where Josh vanished, and he is Stoke's most famous and ardent supporter. A word from him might even get something up on the board for all to see. If no-one can help in that direction, you could certainly ring the club direct and appeal to them.

There are now quite a few of us in the local area all looking out for little Josh....we're not giving up on you yet little man! Agnetha, keep your hopes up...chances are that if he was picked up and put in a car which is now thought to be the case, it will be someone fairly local - these are country roads and they don't attract a lot of long-distance travellers, especially early on a Sunday morning. If the Stoke-on-Trent/Newcastle/Madeley/Market Drayton area keeps being blitzed and bombarded with posters and ads, it must surely only be a matter of time before there's a lead or sighting.

People don't necessarily respond instantly to the media. When they see a dog some time later they recall the article and phone then. Karen got Tigger back, but it took a lot of blood. sweat and tears. You mustn't lose faith after just two weeks.

An update- no response from the article in the paper- I had pinned my hopes on this so feel quite deflated. I felt with him being chipped he wopuld be bound to turn up but now reading that not every vet scans chips I feel even more deflated_ Having read about Tigger I feel even more without hope as nothing has been seen of Josh sine Sunday 15th at about 10am.

I long for the day when all vets scan and check for tattoos automatically, unfortunately that is not the case. We must all be quietly persistent in tackling our vets to take up this policy, we are owed a duty of care that we are not getting and it is only by sheer weight of opinion that our vets will take up this policy. It took me eight and a half months to convince my vets to take up this policy and I am eternally grateful that they have, even if they only ever get one dog back with it's rightful owner it will be worth it, maybe one day it will be my Dolly 6.2.05

I know it's easy for us to say, but don't give up hope, and try stay positive. Not everyone is a bad person, there are some very well meaning people out there, who just don't stop to think that by not informing the Police and Vets the distress they might be causing, and just maybe the person who has taken Josh was well meaning, thinking he may have been abandoned. I have been intouch with the Co-ordinator of the Midland CKCS Club Rescue who is trying to get people in surrounding areas to poster shops, vets etc and I am also contacting our members in the Derbyshire area widen the search a little further. Take care

I think Nessie's idea is a wonderful one, so come on everyone who reads this print out a poster and take it to your vet, it doesn't matter what part of the country you are in, just alert your vet to the fact a ruby cavalier that is chipped has gone missing. Please keep your hopes up Agnetha50.

Perhaps we could all take a poster to our vets what ever area we live in. There is a posability, if he has been sold, the new owner will take him to a vet. Agnetha50, maybe someone thought he was lost and they have still got him, don't give up hope. Praying for his safe return. love Nessie

Just been speaking to local dog owner- he has dogs and works the whole area- all farmers have been looking but someone apparently saw a dog like Josh being put in a carat the same time he was last seen and in a neaby location so he may well be out of the area and sold on somewhere now so looks like chances of ever getting him back are coming more remote

Any local ramblers clubs, dog training clubs? any local hunt kennels who might like the chance of some PR work, lurcher/terrier people are the best ones to give advice on the possibility of dogs going to ground and locals will know the most likely spots. Alot of farmers give permission to these people to hunt rabbits on their land and so they may have contact numbers. What about using a referee whistle in the woods? Come on little man, time to come home.

I will email copy of Sentinel piece to Jayne- I used Dog Lost poster and plugged dog lost but no mention and they showed our home made poster so I was a bit disaapointed to say the least. Nothing at all as a result of article- he has vanished ino thin air with noone seeing him and everyone in the locality knows he is missing. My only conclusion is he is somewhere he is not going to be found- all farmers etc are aware and he woukldnt be around now without someone spotting him. only hope now is he is alive someone has got him and when they taker him to vets well get him back that way

I'm local and am in contact with owner now, trying to be as much use as I possibly can. Just to confirm about the difficulties of the search - Hanchurch Woods is thousands of acres of dense woodland with a lot of it completely inaccessible to man (but probably not dog). Having said that, the Woods are well used by ramblers and I'm sure someone would have spotted Josh if he was ambling around. Am inclined to agree that someone must have him.

It really is starting to sound a though 'Josh' is being looked after by someone, somewhere rather than him roughing it. Now comes the easy bit (NOT) - trying to find where he's being looked after?? What about a house 2 house poster drop a the nearest village (if you haven't already, it might be worth a try). Good luck anyway. xxx

Are there any doglost helpers local to this area that could assist in a search? I'm miles away, but there must be someone near. By the way , just out of interest, what other dogs do you have ? Would the jack russell bark a lot if you walked him in these areas so that Josh may respond to him? Worth a go! Good luck.

Josh never wanders if he is on his own- he always comes back- as we got the jack russell back we cant understand how he didnt come back. We have looked in all of the fields nearby- the only place we couldnt look fully was hanchurch woods where he could be anywhere- and never be found- weve put advets as far as ashley, loogerheads madeley and ive phoned the dogs homes in cheshire, shropshire and in stafford- Unfortunately I dont have a large circle of friends or family- I am a widow and my brother lives south and the only close family I have are my girls who have been looking eveywhere- we cant think of anywhere else to look that we havnt- we can only think he must have gone deep downa hole althought the jack russell has not shown any inteest at any hole. it went in the sentinel tonight and i was sure someone would phone but no joy- he gets tired after being out for an hour or so - he would never have survived the cold or being out if he is out . we were hoping someone would have taken him in and not told anyone- if he was a bigger dog there wouldnt be a problem but he doesnt hold any excess so it doesnt look very good but i wont give up till i know one way or another i

This really is devastating for you, I own 2 Cavaliers myself and my thoughts are these really aren't dogs that normally wander far, I tend to agree with previous message about getting a group of friends/family together this weekend and really covering the best you can close to home, wish I lived closer to you to help. To give you hope, tonight I was phoned by owners of Allie - black lab, lost 17 Jan, I live nearby and was very involved in the search, she was found today safe and sound! Good luck.

We told the chip company as soon as we lost him and i am on the phone to them and the city dogs home every day ( the city dogs home did phone to me to say they had a ruby cavie in- but wed already seen him ) Radio Stoke did very kindly put it on several of their programmes last week- Signal Radio wouldnt. Sentinel have put it in tonights Sentinel with a pic of me and my other cavie- albeit not a good photo of me( i am not photogenic- hate having my photo taken- but needs must) We have looked round the fields but if anyone understands where I actually live it is not an easy task- I live surrounded by fields for 3 miles in every direction. Josh is the sort of dog who likes his comfort and he would plonk himself down at a door and bark to be let in. He loves going in cars anf anyone would just have to open a door and hed be in. Railtrack phoned to say no trace of him on their patch and environmental health have not picked up a dog on the roads dead so we are still hoping and looking.

Thank you- I am trying so hard to stay positive- We live in the countryside though with so many fields and I am worried sick that he could have been trapped somewhere- Its 12 days now and he doesnt carry a lot of weight and also has a heart murmur and if hes over tired he gets really weak and dosnt have the energy to go on- I will hope though that someone has taken him in- Ive put posters with the new pic around and the sentinel ahs taken my pic with my other cavie so hopefully they will put something in. I just really feel for all the other poor people on here- its like having a child missing. even though ive other dfogs and cats it doesnt fill the big void

Agnetha, have you gone across to Hanchurch Woods and searched around there? Bit like looking for a needle in a haystack, but might it be feasible that Josh could have ambled as far as there and got himself well and truly lost? Not so far from you as the crow flies, and once inside he could literally amble around for weeks without being seen....have you postered the main car park there where all the ramblers set off from? Given the time of day he vanished I can't imagine there would be many people around to snatch him, so he's possibly wandering around unnoticed. It's just amazing how many people would ignore a wandering dog...the first thing any of us animal lovers would do is go to it's aid, but there are so many indifferent people around who would just let him pass by and not do anything. I saw the Sentinel Ad again last night - have there been any sightings at all? So cold for him to be outside at present - do hope you have good news soon. Might be worth getting some posters up around the Keele University campus too? Stretches a good way over towards Whitmore as you will know. Hope you don't mind all these suggestions, you've probably thought of them all anyway, but just in case you haven't!

It really is a must to check Rescue Centres in person, you would be amazed that how many of the staff get the breed names wrong. Many Cavaliers are referred to as King Charles (which is a different breed) or King Charles Cavalier. Don't take their word for it, take no chances, ask to have a look at the dogs for yourself. I have sent Josh's poster to other Cavalier Rescues around the country. It's a long shot, but you never know - come on sweetheart show yourself so mum can find you. Stay safe x

I'm in Hanley nr Stoke on trent. Sara has emailed the poster so will put some up around here. Peice of great advice about City Dogs Home- Don't just rely on phoning them and asking if you're dog has been handed in. They are well known for not informing the owners as a way to get more money for kennel fees. This has happened to a few friends of mine. One lady rang up every day for a few weeks asking if her alsation had turned up. They kept on saying "No shes not been brought in". A few days after her last phone call she went to have a look and bingo- saw her dog straight away! After enquiring it turned out her dog had been in there almost a week and even though she had been calling every day they didn't tell her. She had to pay loads of fees.. Anyway..Im rambling..Just best be safe than sorry, I say! Good Luck X LIanne X

Hi, Ive leafleted all the houses round the kennels- did that last Monday- noone had seen him- Asked railtrack today again and saw a railtrack worker who told me hed walked from Stableford to Madeley and there was nothing on the line- someone was walking rom Stafford to Stableford and he phoned them but as I have not heard from them so I guess its good news that hes not on the line. Leaflet gone today to Mainwaring arms. Sentinel are coming out tomorrow to photo me so hopefully they will put it in the paper. Asked all the local farmers but if hed been out for over 3 and a half hours he would not have had the energy to go on for much further. He ran off at 6 am and we looked for him constantly after that- He was off rabbiting with a jack russel- we never let them out together but it was pure accident and when we realised theyd gone we went straight out with a torch looking- He was last seen about 9.30 am just across the field from our house. We got the Jack russell back and were phoned by a neighbour to say Josh was over near Chorlton Mill but when we went over hed vanished. Weve walked all round the fields locally but theres no sign of him. He would not go off wandering unless he had another dog with him. Since hes on his own I cant understand why hes not home. Weve gone out late at night listening at all the rabbit holes but cant hear a thing Put leaflet in Tesco home delivery- and maim store when theyve got space - leaflet to postman to put in sorting office, leaflet in Spar shop at Clayton, shops at Madeley,- posters already in shops and garage at Baldwins Gate-

Hello --I live locally and walk this area regularly. There is just so much countryside that my guess is poor little Josh has wandered off the beaten track and lost all sense of direction. He could wander around for days in this locality and not be spotted. Agnetha50, where exactly was he last seen? Suggest you get posters up in local pubs like Slaters/Sheet Anchor/Mainwaring Arms if not already done so? and have you leafleted houses in Baldwins Gate, Acton and Butterton which are right in the middle of the area? Poor little chap. I'll keep my eyes peeled for you and good luck.

yes- its on a51 which connects with a53 but he was seen about 1/2 mile off main road and when we went to get him hed vanished- contacted rail track- but walked along side of railway at night and in day and it seem pretty secure to stop a dog getting on- have put posters locally and done leaflet drop in immediate neighbourhood- out tonight i noticed a lot of badger sets not that far away and i just hope he didnt venture down one of these.

Hi Josh's Mum. Is Stableford the place on the A50 Stone road near Maer and near the railway/caravan site? If so my parents are really local (Ashley) and I will get them on the case. Without wanting to think the worst have you spoken to the railway? Vicky

Hi, Im the owner- I know its ruby but not everybody understands the colour but everyone understands tan- Hes a lovely gentle friendly little dog and everyone who sees him fallsd in love with him- He has a heart problem and also a skin problem so he scratches a lot and needs regular baths to help it.
