Teddy is a young beagle that slipped his collar after being frightened by the sound of fireworks on 5th November and he just ran scared down onto a busy main road and as he ran the fireworks kept on and on and he just kept running.
There were a number of sightings that night along the road and cars were stopping but Teddy just ran. The last sighting was at 7 in the morning and searchers were still out looking.
Tiga arrived the following afternoon at the last known sighting and immediately picked up the scent onto this same busy road, fortunately Tiga took us straight across the road and off down a track and into some fields towards a farm. Tiga then led us away from the farm and across more fields and on into a wood where he picked up a footpath. Tiga followed this footpath after a little detour around the wood again and then we came to a junction of footpaths and Tiga went straight ahead. At this point we thought we heard a’hound’ bark in the direction Tiga was taking us, so we called the owners husband who was sitting with the car waiting for any instructions and told him to get ahead of us at the end of the footpath once we were able to communicate as best we could where we actually were and which footpath we were on. After looking at a map Paul was able to work out our position and drove to the end of the footpath. He got out of the car and started to walk along the path in our direction with a sandwich that he had not yet eaten. No sooner did he put the sandwich to his mouth when he saw Teddy sitting there waiting for him. Remembering my instructions if he should see Teddy he threw the sandwich down and Teddy slowly limed to it and allowed Paul to pick him up.
Teddy was very very frightened and cold and was carried back to the car, we were told of this great news and Teddy’s mum that was with me jumped up and down in a muddy puddle with delight.
We eventually got ourselves out of the woods and back to the car and got Teddy off to the vets for a checkover. He was soon back home having a warm bath and lots of cuddles.
This success was the 50th dog that Tiga has tracked and reunited.
