***CRUZS STORY***
This is the story of how Cruz went MIssing & how we got him back.
So many people were involved with helping us find Cruz, we are truly thankful & grateful to each one of you. Many have asked about Cruz and how & where we found him, so I thought I would share his Story as it may help someone some day if you were ever in a similar situation. I have learnt a lot about doggy behavior & what Dogs do when they are lost.

Cruz was with some friends of ours in Richmond and was off lead when he took off around 11am on Tuesday, and they were unable to call him back. As soon as we knew he was missing I put up a post on all my pages plus all the Community groups in the area.
He ran from upper Richmond within an hour to Lower Queen Street & was sighted multiple times & many people saw him in the middle of the road at the busiest lights in Richmond with cars slowing down to avoid him. It makes me cringe when I think of how many roads he crossed.
We had messages from people that had seen him in lower Richmond, McShanes Road, Eyebright, at the back of the A&P show grounds, headingly lane, Jubilee park & Berryfields & Bay Nurseries. Most people said he was running like the wind and wouldn't stop for anyone. People tried to call him but he took no notice.
So many families joined in the search, walking, driving, biking to try and find him. I had calls at 9.30pm at night from lovely folk that were out there searching with spotlights.
Tuesday 5pm was the last time he was spotted and then it all went quiet. That night I managed to get hold of Don known for his Search & Dog Tracking skills. He told me that when a dog gets lost they go into a state of survival, almost like a wild dog & they are in complete flight mode where they become scared of everyone, like we are the enemy, but there are certain things you can do to get them back.
He said they don't trust anyone, even their owners and they just bolt & run from everyone.
So we needed to get everyone to stop approaching him as it would just make him run further away but if sighted to contact me immediately. He also said that the first day they just run & bolt as they are in such a panicked state and then they usually disappear & hide for 24-48 hours which is not what you want to hear as you just really want to get them back. Sure enough Cruz disappeared with no sightings for a whole day on the Wednesday. Don said the most likely times to spot him is dawn and later in the afternoon as usually they sleep between 9-3pm. Don was pretty certain that the next day he would appear & be in a calmer state and he would make better decisions and there would be a lot higher chance of getting Cruz back.
We began a map of the sightings to see if there was a pattern of places that he was going to at certain times of the day and the plan was I was going to go to the place that he was potentially going to turn up at and be there before he got there but we didn't get to the point of doing that although it appeared he was staying in the same area.
This was the crucial things that Don explained would help to get him back.
-If someone saw him make sure no one approaches him but call or text me.
- once I got there and had him in sight the only thing that was going to make him recognize me was if I had the wind on my back, with the wind blowing my scent towards him & he could smell me. They don't recognize you by sight or hearing ( so don't call them or yell) they only recognize you by smell. You must sit still and let them come to you & dont reach out or anything until they recognize you and come in for a cuddle.
On Thursday around 1pm my phone started ringing non stop and he was spotted in swamp road, I was only 5 mins away. Then a family member rang and Said he had just spotted him and he was in his car in McShanes road and was following him, he followed him into Berryfields. Cruz was just trotting along and much calmer than the first day. I followed their directions and we ended up at an empty section.Cruz was quite a distance away and lying resting & looking very exhausted in the long grass. Everything in you at that moment wants to just yell their name and clap your hands to try and get them to come to you but it doesnt work. I rang Don to say I had him in my sights & he said I had to get in a position where the wind was blowing towards Cruz, but with where he was up against the fence the wind was blowing in the wrong direction. I tried walking slowly towards him and sitting but he couldn't smell me so he bolted. That moment was really hard seeing him run off not knowing if you would have another chance. I jumped in my car and had to drive out of Berryfields so lost sight of him. Lots of people had eyes on him though down the road, my phone was going crazy with messages. As I drove towards Connings people were pointing and then I pulled up beside 2 guys. One said I know where he went. He jumped in my car and we drove down the road a bit and down a driveway to a paddock that happened to be fully fenced and it had a gate. I drove in and asked the guys to shut the gate. Even at that moment I had a huge sense of relief knowing we were fenced in. Cruz was lying down in the grass at the end of the paddock. I started walking slowly towards him and then would sit down for a few minutes. I walked a bit closer but once again the wind was blowing in the wrong direction, so Cruz got up to run again. He headed for the gate but it was closed so he circled behind my car and then came up behind me putting him in a position where he could smell me. His head suddenly went up and his whole body changed, his tail started wagging and he recognized me. He ran to me whimpering and snuggled in for a cuddle and licking me like crazy. It was the best moment ever! Such relief and tears of joy to have him back. I will be forever grateful to everyone that helped us get Cruz back & a very special thankyou goes to Don Search/Dog Tracking for all his help, advice & support in getting our lovely boy Cruz back 💙
When Cruz hopped in the car he collapsed with exhaustion. The photo is when we got to our gate and he sat up & realised we were home 🐾
