Stella was a lurcher that was attacked by another dog and ran off injured on Christmas Day and was sighted later in the day. After a number of sightings which proved negative and lots of people helping to search, Stella was still missing. Eight days later we were on our way to help track Stella and were taken to where she was last seen on Christmas Day.
Tiga soon picked up scent and worked really hard after the heavy rain even to the extent of tracking past a hare that was within a foot of Tiga and Tiga took no notice such was his concentration. The hare bolted after we passed and the owner disturbed the hare while looking in a dyke. Tiga tracked along the field edge following the edge of dykes and on across a dyke. It was soon clear that Tiga had lost the scent and was now more interested in game and other wild animals so we decided to go back to where Tiga last had the scent which was back across the dyke. No sooner had we got back to this point and were hoping Tiga would pick up the scent again and Stella was spotted on the side of the dyke lying peacefully in the long dry grasses on the bank of the dyke still with her red collar on.
Clearly this was why Tiga had lost the scent as Stella had gone no further.
R.I.P dear Stella – you were not alone as there were hares running around and ducks on the nearby pond with pheasant wandering through the grasses.
