Bentley’s Army

24/09/2023

🌈 It’s not good news I’m afraid. Shorty after my post this morning we had a call from the parks trust, they found Bentley in the river. Zak had the hard task of identifying him and we now we say a proper goodbye as he went over the rainbow, most likely, shortly after he was lost. 🌈

We want to thank all of you for the amazing efforts to help try and spread the word to bring him home to us. If we can ask one last favour, please share this one last time to give our thanks and let people know. Also if you see a poster please take it down. 🐾🙏🏼

We are all completely broken, he is and always will be the best dog there ever was 💔💔💔💔

🌈Run free our beautiful baby boy 🌈

💔🐾May the sun shine on your face … 🐾💔

May the person keeping you from us know all your little tells…

When you want your wrinkles cleaned
When you want to go out
When it’s time for your denta stick
The only way you’ll take a bath
Your burrito towel cuddle after a bath
Your funny wanting attention but not wanting attention at the same time
A cuddle before bed, but not for long
Why you want to go out and come in again
Your favourite spot to sunbathe in
When you want to share the snack
When you want to play
When you want to stay home
When you just want to be with US.

We know all the ways you communicate these things to us, we miss every single one.

Everyone says we can’t imagine how you must be feeling, we can’t either, it’s surreal.
For me and Zak we try to do something normal, moving forward with guilt and pain in our hearts, often hiding how we’re really feeling, looking in the distance, wondering where could he be, who could have him.

For Bella, she is afraid to fall sleep as she says her dreams keep “tricking” her, she thinks she finds him but wakes up alone.

Tillie quietly sobs alone at night, I have to listen carefully so I can go comfort her.

Not knowing is the worst as even with some normality in our lives, it only takes a prank call to slam us back to the deep pain.

If you can bring him to me or the information that will bring me to him, name the price, give me proof your not lying and I will pay as soon as he is here, back with US.

Please like and share his page far and wide.
If you’re already liking and sharing thanks again for your support, let’s keep going together 🙏🏼🐾💔

People pets are being put down, if their chip isn’t found, which can easily happen with lots of rolls like Bentley.

The rescue is full and the warden isn’t the one for our area, they just put them to sleep and don’t even keep a record of them.

💔 IT’S THE LITTLE THINGS YOU LEFT BEHIND … PLEASE COME HOME 💔

That baby blanket your breeder mum George gave me to tuck you in every night, I still have it, but it now lives under my pillow so I can feel close to you.

That stinky rope from your favourite toy, it’s been in the same spot on the floor for seven weeks, I sadly put it away in your cupboard today.

When I sweep the floor there is barely anything there. No signs of shedding, no need to help you remove the old fur coat with a bath you love to run from, unless we break out the peanut butter.

Your bowls, sit there shiny, no slobber on the edges, no stray crumbs. Will you come home before another reminder gets put away?

I work from home, alone, now the girls are back at school. This was our time, I realise now, I talked to you all day, nutty bulldog mum but boy did I miss this, so lonely and quiet with out my little sidekick.

I miss the hope I had at the beginning, a secret knowing everything I was doing would work eventually, that hope has turned into praying for a single miracle.

I miss you so much, it hurts deep down like when I lost special people in my life, I remember it now, I feel it again.

I feel there is someone who knows someone who has him, there is no way someone can just appear with a boy like mine and no questions pop in your head, it doesn’t add up, can you take me a video, give me a location?

I will pay the reward as a minimum to get him back, we’ve already spent more than that trying to find him. If you have information you feel is worth more, name it and lead me to where he is. As soon as I have him in my arms I will pay, no questions asked, I just want him home.

Thanks to Bentleys army of people that have been sharing since the beginning, and to those that have joined since; please join us by following his page.

Please share from his page if you can, he needs every one of you and your friends and their friends 🙏🏼💔🐾

🐾💔WHERE ARE YOU NOW? 🐾💔

We did what felt like the most unnatural thing and went on the holiday that was planned before you went missing.

On the way back from the airport was especially painful as we usually all get excited to pick you up and hug and spoil you.

My mind races between all three of the unthinkable options…

Are you already over the rainbow, did we miss you needing our help on the many searches at the beginning?

Are you still out there hiding, going it alone, least likely as you love to be with people and no one has seen you.

Are you with other people, the most painful one to think of, still somewhere but with who; are you being treated well, are you ok? You belong with us.

They say it’s better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all, but with loss usually comes closure, grief and to finally settle with some fond memories to look back on. With this kind of loss I can’t close it off like a chapter I usually would, it’s just open and unknown.

Lately I have seen dogs reunited after 2 days and even 2 years, heartwarming hopeful stories. But also I see people still searching after 2 and 5 years, still heartbroken and wishing for their happy ending.

I will keep wishing to hold your wrinkly face and scratch your squishy butt once again - I miss you boy, please come home.

If you have any information please do share; a photo or video is best as it helps us know if we should act or not.

Thank you so much to all the people helping, still sharing and heading out on sightings for us while we were gone 🐾💔🙏🏼
