Every rescue creates a ripple effect:
1. Keeps pets out of shelters - saving taxpayer dollars and saves room in shelters for animals that really need it.
2. Helps limit financial strain and emotional toll on people in rescue - so they aren't spending their resources and time on pets that have loving owners already.
3. Reduces trauma- saves pet lives, reunites families and gives pet owners hope and encouragement.
4. Educates pet owners how to keep their pets safe and prevent them from going missing.
5. Educates the community what to do if they find or see a lost pet.

Yay!! A LIVE FIND! This little nugget was in a storm drain at the yellow circle on the GPS map. High coyote area. The owners told me they were watching me out the window and a coyote was following me and Apple!

Smart kitty! Hid in the storm drain where it was a ‘dead zone’ for scent.

The picture of Pepper in the bushes is right near and above the storm drain.

This is exactly where my search dogs lead. Owner was able to get confirmation from a Ring video of her beloved cat in a Coyotes mouth. My plan of action for her was very specific. To interview neighbors along the short scent Trail.

Note: This cat was an indoor only cat!  unfortunately all it took was one time getting out and a couple of hours before the coyote got it.

Coyote in my area at noon. Don’t be fooled. Most people think coyotes are only out at night time. Coyotes are out 24 seven looking for food. It is a very hard life for them. They need to provide for their young. they are also hungry and thirsty just like us. Remember, they can’t go to McDonald’s. Do not leave small dogs unattended in your yard. Best not to let cats roam freely, unless you want to chance losing them. Respect all wildlife.

Flashback Friday. Glory won the 2015 American Humane Search Dog of the Year. It was a weekend gala at the Beverly Hilton. Many celebrities were in attendance.

This is a coyote out during the day in an extremely busy residential neighborhood. Don’t be fooled. Coyotes are out 24 seven. They are part of our environment. Do not be cruel to them. They need food and water and care for their young just like we do.

It is important, however, not to leave your pets unattended outside or let your cats roam free unless you want to take a chance in losing them.

Walle went missing one week ago & did not return home from her front yard.  It took two hours, but the dogs were able to walk up and find remains of fur that appeared to match Walle (at the gps map where blue X is) Upon further investigation, we were able to obtain video footage that showed Walle right where the dogs found the fur. Lots of coyote s**t was found across the street.

Lost Cat case this morning: 15 yr old Cat missing one week. Owner has video of the night his cat went missing - coyote circling it underneath the car. The cat did appear to scare the coyote off, but it came back and then the video cut out.

The search Dogs lead a few homes down and did find a large pile of coyote s**t with unknown fur in it. I was able to search many homes, front and backyards. No trace of the cat has turned up. No sightings.

Diana and I were scoping out restaurants for our pet search and rescue training seminar April 5-7. This is a great one in Burbank called Morrisons. They even have a doggy menu and served Diana on a silver platter. I ordered her hamburger and rice, and I had a veggie burger that they made in house. We give it five stars.

I love getting confirmation of the search dogs being right. In the video you can see the cat in the bushes and then jumping the wall going over to Shoshone Street. And on the scent trail maps, the area circled in yellow is exactly where my search dogs led along the bushes, showing at the cat jumped over the wall to the next street!

My new friend Banana. All animals need food, shelter, warmth. Possums do not carry rabies. They eat ticks, fleas and other insects. They can withstand several rattlesnake bites. This has helped to develop anti venom. Possums are the only marsupial in North America. Be kind to all animals.

Pet Detective Search Dog Training Intro
Pet Detective Search Dog Training Intro

In California Bloodhound Handler Landa Coldiron of Lost Pet Detection will join forces with Annalisa Berns of Pet Search and Rescue to teach students about using Search Dogs to find lost pets. Join us for this informative introduction to our special seminars.

This is why it’s very important on my cases to check video footage where the search dogs are leading AND ask investigative questions along my scent trail! Piper, a white Siamese, jumped out of the window to her new apartment and never came home. The search dogs were called in about a week later. Diana indicated Piper had jumped over the back wall in to a neighbors yard. I then had to restart Diana at that house on the next block. I cast her for scent at the front of three homes that backed up to Piper’s home. Diana led to the yard directly behind Piper’s home and sniffed low on the ground. I started looking on the ground and found little wisps of white fur. Definitely not enough to say predator involvement though. The two other Search dogs indicated a wall alert. One of my bloodhounds (Apple Mae) lead down to an abandoned property where there was coyote activity, but no further evidence was located. I told the owner she needed to try to see if there was Ring or Blink video footage at the yard where the wisps of fur were found or video at an adjacent neighbors yard (or across the street) to see what had gone on in that yard and also interview neighbors to see if there was any more fur. Note: I find most owners do not do this. They tend to say, “No, there’s no video (when I know they probably don’t even ask or check) or that’s not my cat’s fur.” However, this owner DID knock on the door where Diana found the wisps and the owners to the property said yes, there had been a lot more white fur but the gardeners had blown it away. (Crucial evidence lost!) The neighbor even provided the below video. Four Coyotes had indeed gotten some type of ‘white’ animal on the lawn. This is NOT graphic it just looks like the cat is asleep and you can’t really see it that well, but it is closure for the owner. Towards the end of the video, a car drives up with its lights, and you can see a lot better.  So this is potentially another

My book is now at Studio City, Barnes & Noble! ‘The Bloodhound Handler Book One Adventures of a Real Life Pet Detective’. It’s a great action adventure summer read! Also, available on Kindle, Amazon, and Goodreads.

Two coyotes caught on camera around the time owners cat went missing. Diana led across the street to this area and did not want to go any further. Scat with fur in it was found nearby. I could not locate any tufts of fur. Apple and Pepper led across the street and then behind the owner’s home to a big green space where more coyote scat was located. I am hoping the cat did not meet with these predators and is just not coming home.

Running a practice trail with Apple Mae. It’s important to keep a regular training schedule with the Search dogs. #searchdogtraining #searchdogsofig #searchdogs #bloodhounds #bloodhoundsrock #bloodhoundsig #hounddog #houndlife #bloodhounds_of_instagram

The coyote came back into the garage where the dog was snatched last week that I searched for and found deceased! I had told the owners that the coyote would be back.
