The incredible search for Darwin Canicross dog

On the 29 September 2023 our friend and fellow Canicrosser, Sue-Lee faced every dog owner’s worst nightmare. While she was away on holiday, her Labrador Darwin was being cared for by a friend. However he managed to unexpectedly barge out of the front door and bolt up the road. It was nightime, and reports then came that a large black dog had been hit by a car and then had run off out of sight into the woods. Sue was contacted immediately, and she flew straight back from holiday to find her dog. Given that Darwin had disappeared in a built-up area that he knew well, you might think that he would have been found quite quickly. However, it was over six weeks before he was caught and reunited with Sue Lee. We wanted to share this story with our listeners, as lots of valuable things to learn about how dogs start to behave differently when they are lost. Here are links to the groups that were key in helping Sue find Darwin. https://m.facebook.com/SolsticeMissingDogs/https://m.facebook.com/groups/DroneSARForLostDogsUK/?locale=en_GBhttps://m.facebook.com/lostdogrecoveryuksouth/ If you would like to know more about Canicross or looking for kit, classes for support, please visit: https://dogfit.co.uk/
