e36m3 Posted January 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2015 Thanks Sam for the help. I left a blanket yesterday where we last saw him at the camp along with some food. I also scattered piles of food where I saw his last fresh prints the other day. What we think is he might have left the area. I'll keep looking for him. I think if we find him, its gonna be because someones sees him somewhere. He could've covered lots of ground in 2 1/2 days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastcoastcam Posted January 13, 2015 Report Share Posted January 13, 2015 I assume you have been regularly checking with the shelters as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e36m3 Posted January 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2015 Yes. Will do more phone calls today too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e36m3 Posted January 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 No luck again today. Funny thing is I saw coyote tracks chasing a rabbit, and then I found a different set of tracks. They were tracks from a lynx or bobcat. Dont know who was chasing who hahaha, would've love to see that going on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastcoastcam Posted January 14, 2015 Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 You may want to actually stop in to the shelters. Bide-a-While (the one in Burnside) has actually adopted out dogs that were brought in that had been reported lost. Just a thought. I really hope he turns up. I am sure Roxy is missing him, along with the kids too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Em_eralds&Rubis Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 Any more news John? We were busy tonight with search and rescue training but I could definitely help search tomorrow night if you are heading back out. Robbi may or may not be working but I'm sure he can help too if he's home. There's still hope - a dog who was lost/outside for 12 days on the other side of the HRM was reunited with its family yesterday!! Any luck with the food you put out (leading to tracks to follow him by)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRUXterra Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 Your continued efforts are not in vain. Link to a local incident just a few weeks ago involving a Great Dane. Hoping your search ends the same... http://www.trurodaily.com/News/Local/2015-01-01/article-3993814/Finding-Ivy/1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e36m3 Posted January 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 I think I have seen more recent tracks from duff last night. A lady said she saw fresh dog tracks near the river that she marked with a big x on the ground. They were coyote tracks but I started following them just for fun. I ended up on the bush ans found much larger tracks that date to just before we got snow Monday night heading down the river toward Myra road. So I left a bunch of food and some pieces of an old moving blanket on the trail to see if he will come out and walk across the logging road and make fresh tracks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e36m3 Posted January 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 Someone gave me a call today saying they think they found newer tracks from my dog. I went to check it out and I'm 100% sure its him. Its nice cause he made his way back to the camp and found the main road. His trail then disappears in the bush. The tracks are about a day old max. I put a transport kennel there with an old sleeping bag he slept on and some food in it. Hopefully he sticks around the cabin area and we get him back this weekend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

derekmac Posted January 16, 2015 Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 Do any shelters or places loan out live traps? That would be ideal if you could find one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My04T4R Posted January 16, 2015 Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 Do any shelters or places loan out live traps? That would be ideal if you could find one. X2 if he is hanging around the area then he is not going to be found by locals around houses, might be best to trap him honestly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Em_eralds&Rubis Posted January 16, 2015 Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 Thanks Sam! I am pretty involved in animal rescue locally and have lotsa connections ;) Robbi and I foster dogs all the time! I have been speaking to some other rescue ladies around here (there is a post your wife is following in the PL yardsale site on fb Jon) and they are willing to round up some volunteers to set out on a wide search, and potentially supply a large trap. This will probably be tomorrow though I have no confirmed time yet. Would anyone in this club be interested in helping as well? The more feet on the ground the better, and I know you are all the rugged type ;) haha. Let me know and I will try to liase between this group and the other where I can because I'm sure you have enough to worry about as it is, Jon! Is there a time tomorrow that works best for you??

TomWood Posted January 16, 2015 Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 I would be out helping if we werent moving tomorrow, we did some work as BackCountry 4x4 club with Hope for Wildlife and believe we are in good standing. I am really hoping that you find your puppy Jon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sar4x4 Posted January 16, 2015 Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 I am checking with Deborah, we'd likely be able to help if there is an informal dog-search tomorrow. Emily - I notice Jon's posts are usually very early in the morning, presumably before going to work, so we may not hear from him until later today. There is a cabin/camp near there that is well occupied, doing some logging recently, etc and I'd be willing to try to touch base with the owner. I think he'd like to remain incognito, I won't post anymore on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Em_eralds&Rubis Posted January 16, 2015 Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 You're right - his wife Valerie says he won't see this stuff til later on. I will let everyone know on this thread if I hear anything more from the rescue side. :) Yours and Deb's help would be much appreciated. Thanks Eugene!

Em_eralds&Rubis Posted January 16, 2015 Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 Okay folks! I have some details. We will be meeting at 10 am at the loop at the end of the Myra Rd. (Where the pavement ends.) When you get there, ask for Kim. She will give you some instructions. There will be a sign in sheet - please be sure you sign in and sign out when you leave. It is important that we are all accounted for, especially those who might be going into the deeper woods. We want to make sure that we won't be getting any SAR calls afterward! :P Please be prepared for the weather and potentially lots of walking. There will be a kind of "home base" set up at the camp where you can go and warm up, and Kim is bringing some bottled water. Bring your own snacks :) If you have a leash, bring it along. If not, I have lots of extras. Also, a pocket full of treats never hurts but I will try to bring some of those to share as well. If you need any more info, please let me know. My cell is 902-440-7131. Thanks guys! How amazing would it be if Jon could bring Duff home tomorrow thanks to our help?! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
