e36m3 Posted January 11, 2015 Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 i lost my puppy Duff yesterday morning in the woods at the end of myra road in porters lake. there is an old wooden camp by the river and thats where he took off. im pretty sure he headed north west and that means might have come across quad trails or logging roads. i'm offering a reward to whoever finds me info leading to him or finds my puppy. we can be reached at 902-877-3932 or 902-877-3962. he's a irish wolfhound / st bernard mix, he's 5 months old and weighs 70 pounds and his color is bringed with a bit of white Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robicon Posted January 11, 2015 Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 Emily and I went down to the end of Myra Road and spoke with a few people without any luck. We ran into John as well. We spoke to the home owner at the very end of the road since Emily is good friends with their son. if he comes out from the woods they will try to get him and get in contact with us. Paws crossed he is found asap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

e36m3 Posted January 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 So far no luck. I hiked and bushwhacked over 15 km today. I should be off early tomorrow so I'll go again. I dropped a trail of food so hopefully he finds it. Its nice to see that so many people are willing to help. There is even a lady that printed posters for us and put them in a bunch of spots in porters lake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derekmac Posted January 11, 2015 Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 Try calling local vets and animal shelters tomorrow too. You never know, someone might have found him, but doesn't check facebook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

e36m3 Posted January 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 At least there's people that know that I'm going in that area. I have a hiking pak full of survival goodies in case I injure myself. I kinda great out with those things but I spend too much time in the bush not to worry about that stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4x4Mckay Posted January 12, 2015 Report Share Posted January 12, 2015 Do you have a 2nd dog? Or one he knows? Try bringing that one if so. If he hears a dog he knows barking maybe he will come find him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

e36m3 Posted January 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2015 Yes we have another dog. I thought about bringing her back it would make another bunch of tracks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastcoastcam Posted January 12, 2015 Report Share Posted January 12, 2015 Yes we have another dog. I thought about bringing her back it would make another bunch of tracks Your other dog can hear and smell 100x better than you. If Duff is in the area, she will know way sooner than you.

Em_eralds&Rubis Posted January 12, 2015 Report Share Posted January 12, 2015 John if you need any more help going out looking Robbi and I would be happy to assist. We didn't see or hear anything yesterday but like he mentioned we asked some locals I know to keep their eyes open. Let us know if you need some extra feet on the ground, you know we aren't far!

e36m3 Posted January 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2015 Thanks Emily. I couldn't get off work early today so I'll go tonight again bushwacking. Hopefully I see tracks because I left him a bunch of food last night in the woods. I'm bringing my Coleman stove with bacon and sausage so the smell might make him come back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
My04T4R Posted January 12, 2015 Report Share Posted January 12, 2015 Figured you guys would be good to notify, me and Jon are going out tonight for a search, ill check in late tonight when the search has ended, at the absolute latest I will check in no later than 8:00 am tomorrow morning on here.

sar4x4 Posted January 12, 2015 Report Share Posted January 12, 2015 Please check in tomorrow morning! Otherwise Emily, Robbi, myself and other ground-pounders will have to come looking for you!

TRUXterra Posted January 12, 2015 Report Share Posted January 12, 2015 Sorry to hear about your dog; I've been there before and, hopefully will never have to go there again. A few things I've learned when it happened to us. 1) Don't shower or bath the days you search; your scent carries further when not covered in soap & perfumes 2) If you can't take another dog/pet; wrap that dog/pet's blanket around you while you search (additional familiar scent). 3) Bring a dog whistle. If within range, a scared/lost dog will "tend" to investigate the noise and with the above, he/she will investigate further. The dog whistle carries further than the scent of familiar items. 4) Keep food at the last point you made contact along with the other dog's blanket or toy. It will keep the lost/stray dog closer. I feel for you at this time and know what it is like to lose a dog overnight and for 2 days. Hoping you find him soon. If I were closer, I'd be there to help...
