Molly beagle - ReunitedMolly an 11 year old beagle was being looked after by friends of the owners while they were abroad for Christmas and was walked with her own three spaniels which she enjoyed. She decided to do a runner just before going out for a walk and after seven days was reunited much to the relief of everyone concerned.

Molly’s adventures were not over because after only three days she was being walked on Christmas day and again did a runner and soon after there were reports that she had been hit by a car but the car driver did not stop. The car behind did and the driver tried to see which way Molly went but lost sight of her.

Three days later there had been no sightings of her and we were asked to go and help with Tiga to track. We parked in a farmyard off a lane not far from where Molly had been hit by a car and no sooner we were out of the car Tiga picked up the scent but we thought maybe we had not parked in the best place and so we thought we would go back and move the car but Tiga was having none of it as he dup his paws in and looked at me as if to say – if you want me to find Molly then we go this way and so we did. We followed Tiga and I asked where was the place that Molly was hit by the car and Julie said Tiga is nearly there!

We had gone along the lane turning into another lane and then onto the busy main road – Tiga crossed the road where the car had hit Molly but instead of going in the direction the car driver said Tiga crossed the road and went up a long drive leading to  a small cluster of houses. As we approached we saw a gentleman talking to his neighbour and as we approached with a view to ask if we could sniff around the gentleman asked  – are you looking for a beagle? We said yes and he replied with I saw  a beagle here yesterday! After some discussion we set off in the direction of Tiga’s nose and we went back down the drive onto the same road and along the road before crossing back over  and into the lane we had just come down. This time instead of heading back towards the car we carried on up the lane and into a paddock and into a field with horses and sheep. We spoke to a very nice man who allowed us to cross the paddock and field and as we went up to the top end of the field we saw Molly lying quietly in the corner. We approached her with some turkey which she thoroughly enjoyed watched by Tiga hoping he could share. Molly allowed us to put a lead on and have some cuddles. We walked her back to the car and off to the vet where she was given a clean bill of health.
