Louis a large black Poodle and Billy his friend a white Westie escaped from the family garden after a courier left not one but two gates open when delivering a parcel for a neighbour.
Two days later and with no sign of these two boys we were on our way to help find them.
We started where there had been a possible sighting by a car park on the sea front. It was so bitterly cold and the wind was very strong so we were determined to find them as soon as possible.
Tiga picked up the scent and where it was believed they had continued along the sea front towards the firing ranges Tiga took us across the road and onto the light railway line in the same direction but after some distance soon turned back. From here we went to the spar shop doorway and then back onto the railway line in the opposite direction taking in a tour of the holiday park and then again back onto the railway line and off to shingle and gorse covered areas between the railway line and a lake which was part of a nature reserve. Eventually we arrived at a school which was separated from us by a wire fence.
The owners didn’t know the school was there and so posters were soon put up.
It was here that Tiga seemed to be a bit confused because he wanted to go through a hole in the fence and also over a fence. This indicated that little Billy couldn’t get over the fence which Louis had done and so for the first time they were separated until Billy found his way through the fence.
We were now all very cold and tired and Tiga also need a rest so we called it a day.
The next morning a lady walking her dogs spotted Billy & Louis and when she called the owners to explain where she had seen them it was around the lakes just passed the school and of course the owners now knew exactly which school they were talking about and were able to get there quickly and after a short search Billy & Louis were found then hiding in a little den they had made.
This was the first time that Tiga had tracked two dogs together and I was pleased with the way he coped with it.
