We had been in the West Country tracking another dog when we got an urgent call to see if we could help to find Tiger Lily who had been missing now for 10 days and was due to have pups in 4 days time.

Tiger Lily was a Cocker Spaniel and had gone off with her mate but he returned home after 5 hours but Tiger Lily did not.

Tiga set off from the house and quickly picked up the scent and took us into a farm nearby and across some fields. Unfortunately Tiga wanted to go into a field with a ram and I didn’t think this was a good idea so we tried to track around and found a footpath which led to where we would probably have come out of the field with the ram and Tiga was straight into the scent again leading down a very disused footpath with a huge fallen tree across the path but Tiga negotiated this and we had to as well. On down the valley we went and into a small woodland off the main footpath and it was here that Tiga sat down and went no further looking up at me. Within about 10 yards of this point was a quarry with an area of water and it was in this water that sadly Tiger Lily was found.

R.I.P. Tiger Lily and your unborn pups.
