🚨 MISSING DOG – LOUIE – CROPTON / PICKERING AREA 🚨

17 year old Louie is missing from Cropton Holiday Park, near Pickering.

📅 Missing since: Tuesday 4th August
⏰ Time: Around 8pm
📍 Location: Cropton Forest Holiday Park, YO18 8ES

📞 Owner contact number: 07516 724081

Louie is 17 years old and partially deaf and blind, so we urgently need your help to establish where he may have travelled.

🙏 Were you staying at Cropton Holiday Park around the time Louie disappeared?
Did you see him on the park, surrounding roads, footpaths or nearby countryside? Even a sighting that seemed insignificant at the time could now be really important.

👀 IF YOU SEE LOUIE, PLEASE DO NOT SHOUT, CALL OR CHASE HIM.

Instead, please:
🐾 Note the EXACT location , a what3words location would be ideal
🐾 Note the direction of travel
🐾 Take a photo or video if possible, without approaching him
🐾 Report the sighting as soon as possible

Please share, particularly with anyone who was staying at Cropton Holiday Park or visiting the Cropton/Pickering area around the time Louie went missing.

We need sightings. Every piece of information could help us build a clearer picture of Louie’s movements and help get this elderly boy safely home. ❤️🐾

Dook is still missing and his family desperately want him home. Please keep an eye out if you are in the area and report any sightings to the number given

**please do not shout or chase**

🚨 MISSING DOG – DOOK | BROXA FOREST, SCARBOROUGH 🚨

Dook has been missing since 7th July from Broxa Forest, Scarborough.

He is still believed to be in the area and was wearing a muzzle and harness but may have managed to remove them.

There have been a few possible sightings, but unfortunately nothing definite enough to confirm his location.

🐾 TRACKING UPDATE

Our tracking dogs have now been deployed over 3 days and have successfully picked up tracks, helping us to build a picture of Dook's movements.

We now really need the public's help with accurate sightings.

⚠️ PLEASE DO NOT SHOUT, CALL, APPROACH OR CHASE DOOK IF YOU SEE HIM.

Doing so could cause him to move away from the area or push him further into flight mode.

Instead, please:

📍 Note the EXACT location, a what3words location would be ideal
📸 Take a photo or video if possible, but only if you can do so without approaching him

👀 Note which direction he was travelling

⏰ Note the exact time of the sighting
📞 Contact Dook's owner immediately on 07444 114051

Even if you're not 100% sure it was Dook, please still report the sighting with as much information as possible so it can be assessed.

🙏 PLEASE SHARE, particularly with anyone living, walking, cycling, horse riding or working around Broxa Forest and the surrounding area.

The more eyes we have out there, the better chance we have of getting that confirmed sighting we desperately need.

🐾 Please remember – DO NOT CALL OR CHASE. Observe, note the location and report.

We’ve all seen the “missing pet” posts on Facebook. They start on the owners page, then appear in local groups and then get spread more and more widely. Facebook is a great way of getting information out to a wide audience quickly and there’s no doubt that it can help to reunite pets with their owners.

One of the key pieces of advice we give owners is to make a single, publicly visible, post with all the key information and share it everywhere. When a post is shared there will be a flood of comments, many well wishers but also potential sightings. It’s critical that owners and search teams can keep track of these important comments. As tempting as it may be to screenshot a post, copy and paste the text or choose one or two pictures, creating a new post creates another thread for those searching to have to monitor. If the new post is widely shared as well then there will be other new threads created and more places for critical information to potentially get missed.

As well as the potential to miss information, if there are any updates they need to be posted on every post - by keeping to a single post that is widely shared this is a simple, quick exercise that only needs doing once.

To help owners, search teams and most of all missing pets please continue sharing missing pet posts but avoid creating new posts/threads.

Why do our dogs track?

To misquote Ghostbusters, “tracking makes me feel good”! Tracking, like other activities using their noses, releases dopamine. In dogs just like in humans dopamine is a feel good chemical, associated with motivation, pleasure and reward.

Part of the training we do is to identify what our dogs see as a fantastic reward for their hard work. All our current operational tracking dogs prefer super tasty snacks but for other dogs a play with a special, cherished toy might be every bit as good. The reward is only used when they are tracking so it remains very special for them. Search dog Gilbert chooses a pouch of cat food, trainee Charlie likes smelly hot dog sausages - definitely not everyday treats for them!

So as we approach the weekend what do you have planned for your own dopamine hit? What would you consider a special treat after hard work? Let us know in the comments!

**ATTENTION DOG DAY STALLHOLDERS**

Trainee tracker dog Charlie has got a bit behind with the admin (mainly due to eating rather than wearing the glasses). We haven’t forgotten about you and will be sending out preliminary info over the next few days. In the mean time, if you have any questions please let us know.
