I would like to thank several people for their part in helping me find my boy Manou after he was hit and holed up in the woods across the street from our house.
Brooke and Rob, Brooke's mom and step-father who dropped everything at 11 PM to come help me look for Manou, minutes after I heard him get hit.
Heather and Dale who came up the next morning to help me look some more. It was baffling to not find any signs of my boy. Dale, bless his heart went traipsing through thick brush to check if perhaps Manou had collapsed in there. It was their house that Manou first put in an appearance later that day. He retreated back into the thick woods as soon as he was seen. Heather and Dale also allowed us access to their property to search, they did a bacon burn for us, they graciously said yes when we asked if CTDGRVN could put up a trail cam and feeding station. It was that cam that alerted us to Manou's location the night I got him to come to me.
Tom and Brianna for also graciously offering for us to go on to their land to search for Manou. Tom and his family rode around looking for him on their trails every day he was missing.
Sandy, for immediately posting when Manou put in appearance at her house on Thursday. For allowing my son Jesse to go searching on her property as well after Manou ducked back into the woods when her dog barked. For graciously allowing CTDGRVN to set up a trail cam and feeding station there.
Kim for offering us the use or the FD's infra red system should we need it.
Kelly Brach of Professional Pet Trackers https://www.facebook.com/ProfessionalPetTrackers for being willing to travel 3 hrs one way to come find my boy with her incredible dog Dino.
Allison and Mike two of our ACOs for going out looking and for spreading to word.
A huge thank you to CT Dog Gone Recovery Volunteer Network. https://www.facebook.com/search/top?q=ct%20dog%20gone%20recovery%20volunteer%20network
Without their trail cam who knows how long it would have taken us to find Manou. Deb and Carol came out to set up feeding stations and another trail cam in the dark, bless their hearts.
Thank you to all who sent up prayers, positive energy, encouragement when I thought my heart would just shatter in a million pieces.
We are blessed to have each and every one of you all in our lives.
