Having fun playing hide and seek.

A week-long ordeal for Dorset dog owner Ben has ended with his missing Patterdale terrier, Rocky, back homeโ€”but doubts remain about whether the dog was taken.

Rocky vanished during a walk at Win Green, near the chalk pit, earlier in the week. โ€œHe was with my other dog, milling about near the verge, and suddenly, he just disappeared,โ€ Ben said. โ€œHeโ€™s normally good at coming back.โ€

Ben spent days searching the area, often with the help of local walkers. โ€œI was up there from morning until late at night, and so many people joined in the effort to look for him,โ€ Ben said.

When Rocky was finally found on Thursday, he was sitting still and appeared disoriented. โ€œHe didnโ€™t make a noise and seemed unsure of what was going on. It was a very emotional moment,โ€ Ben admitted.

While relieved to have Rocky back, Ben is warning other dog owners to be cautious. โ€œThereโ€™s no proof, but I canโ€™t shake the doubt that he may have been stolen and later released. Rocky is a friendly dog who would jump into anyoneโ€™s car,โ€ he said.

The experience has prompted Ben to keep his dogs on leads in public areas. โ€œItโ€™s made me rethink walking them in places like Win Green. Iโ€™ve also bought trackers for all my dogs,โ€ he explained.

Ben credits the support of the community for helping him through the ordeal but also cautioned against scammers. โ€œSome people contacted me offering services, including aerial searches, but not all of them seemed genuine,โ€ he said.

He recommends Eye in the Sky Drones, a free service that uses thermal imaging to aid searches. โ€œThey were incredibly helpful, covering a wide area,โ€ Ben said.

Although Rocky sustained minor injuries, he is now recovering. โ€œHeโ€™s on pain relief and just needs rest and food,โ€ Ben said. โ€œBut this has been a wake-up call. Dog owners need to be vigilant.โ€
