Pickles is a Jack Russell Terrier that was staying in kennels while the owner was in hospital . He apparently escaped when being taken on lead from his kennel to the enclosed paddock for his last little run around at night. It was cold, dark and raining and Pickles was believed to have run down the paddock and escaped over the stock fencing at the far end.
Three days later there was still no sign of Pickles or any sightings so we offered to go down and help.
Tiga was taken to the kennel and immediately picked up the scent to the paddock but he was not interested in going down the paddock instead he did a few circles by the entrance to the paddock and then came out of the paddock and across the yard, behind some farm buildings and out onto the road. It was here on the road that Tiga continued to go backwards and forwards across the road and the kennel staff informed us that there had been a screech of car tyres at about the same time that Pickles went missing. Fortunately the scent continued but along the road until we went into the grounds of a farmhouse. Tiga continued round and then back onto the road and in the same direction. We soon took a right hand turn and continued along the road. It soon became clear that we were in fact following the exact route that the owners drove to and from the kennels and it looked possible that Pickles was making his way home.
However Tiga did take a detour into a small group of houses with a gate between and it seemed he wanted to go this way but with no one to ask permission we carried on along the road and eventually coming back to the kennels.
The next day there was a sighting along the road that we had been tracking and he was seen going back into a field just a field away from the kennels. So we gave strict instructions to the owner to go and sit in the field with a tin of sardines and the sister of Pickles and five minutes later Pickles was reunited.
