Subject: LOST GREEK DOG

Dear All – having just recovered fromWolfie’s escapade of 3 weeks on the
loose in theNew Forest, I couldn’t believe my ears this afternoon when the
lady looking after Sammy whilst Penny and Nigel went to Italy, phoned me to
say she had let him off the lead just a few hours after she had taken him
into her care. Sammy is an extremely shy dog and will be very difficult to
coax. He went missing at 12.30 this afternoon in Bear Wood. Mark and I were
alerted at 3pm and we spotted him at 4.30 on King John/Richard Drive area of
Bear Wood. He was running down the middle of the road and we didn’t stand a
hope of catching him. Unfortunately, it was terribly hot today and there is
no surface water. He was, though, near to where he went missing and we are
hoping he will try to make his way back. However, Chris and Barbara also
spent the evening looking for him but had no luck. Penny and Nigel are not
yet aware and I hope we get him back safely long before their return.
The lady responsible for him is at 92 Plantagenet Crescent and her phone number
is 01202 594157 and Sammy is wearing one of her tags as well as his own.
Any help will be very much appreciated. Should you see him then please
contact her as she thinks he will come to her. This is all such a shame as
he has come a long way since his arrival last October. Kind regards Lyn
