Have you seen Dottie?

New Sighting reported.
Hi all, we had a sighting of Dottie on Tuesday, they managed to get a photo of her. So we concentrated all our efforts in the area. Dean has put up 6 cameras, along with our one trail one, and we have also last night added 2 more live ones closer to Robbers Road. They are all in the area she was spotted and the sniffer dog was interested in. We are now on day 11 and really need support and recommendations on what we should be doing next, as we don’t want to guess and focus all of our efforts in one area when she could be back down in the stream area by now. We think we are doing everything correctly but just want to confirm with you guys please. Many thanks
No sightings yet, still waiting on a sign from her to a rough location as we are looking in 3 main areas now. Cameras have been set up ready and her food has been put in front of one live camera. Does anyone have any details of more sniffer / scent tracking dogs we could utilise? Many thanks
Hi Adam I sent out an alert a few days ago to all the scent trackers in the area. If you havent done so already please register Dottie on DogLost.co.uk, as this will send an alert to more volunteers in the area
We searched yesterday after a potential sighting, but nothing came of it unfortunately. We would like a scent dog asap, to narrow down the search to the correct area, as this sighting was on the east side of the park ///signed.cello.renting

We have just had a call from someone who thinks they have seen something like Dottie at the top car park at 11am today, what 3 words; https://what3words.com/signed.cello.renting We are heading up to have a look around. This is the complete opposite side to where the sniffer dogs indicated but she could have moved around a lot. We are likely to move the trail camera there later too depending on how it looks.
Please let us know how you get on
Hi Catt, We were Ground searching again yesterday checking cameras, brambles and areas in the local where the bark was heard and where tracker dogs have tracked to. Whilst out Adam messaged and reported the sighting by the main carpark so we headed back up to have a look, the area where the sighting was located was on the route where Dottie had been on her walk prior to running off. The sighting was at 11am. Launched the drone to scan the area however it was very busy with people so restricted my drone flight and relied more on the zoom camera. Adam and Libby were staying overnight in the area in the hope she may come out again when it was quieter. Left Adam and Libby, with a barbeque, sausages and our thermal scope. I have had no further updates at the moment and haven't been able to attend today.
Thank you so much for your help and the update
One of the sniffer dogs is waiting for an operation so cannot come tonight. The other has a 2 hour drive so cannot get here before dark but coming on Friday morning. We will head up again now and have another look around. Putting up more posters in the woods too.
Wednesday update - was here 6am-2pm, no sign of Dottie. We stayed relatively close to her last spotted place, and ventured to the spring near the bottom part of the hill where the 3 different sets of dogs have suspected something. Dean is checking the camera footage now I believe, and has set up the camera again to see what happens overnight. We have placed chicken (her favourite) near the camera, which is close to her blanket and last seen location. Will be back tomorrow morning and then sniffer dogs hopefully in the evening. We are planning on staying overnight Friday to Saturday.

Does anyone know of any offer sniffer dogs services or volunteers, as Emma is coming later but think it would be crucial to get some asap. I have contacted the local highways, rail service and the cheese place south of the woodlands, who all have details and will be in contact if there are any signs of her. I still think she is hiding in the woodland, surely someone or a farmer would have seen her if she had ran across the large fields surrounding the woodlands

Hi Adam, did the cameras catch anything last night?
Hi Adam, any update or sightings of Dottie?
No sightings yet, I’ve been here looking all over the park since 5am. We think she’s hidden herself in a hole or in the middle of some deep bushes. Got the drone and sniffer dog coming later I think
Please keep me updated on how the search goes
