sambo 8 year old black male labrador

30th june 2009.............copied from doglost

I was out walking with my dog tonight along Kirtling Weir which is on a bridlepath/footpath between the villages of Kirtling and Great Bradley (near Newmarket) when he disappeared, believed to have fallen in the fast flowing water after our walk. The Fire Brigade were called and we searched for over 2 hours along the weir bank (it is a weir with varying water flow managed by the water board, at present the water is very fast flowing) I searched along with friends and local members of the community but with no luck. The Fire Brigade were terrific and tried all they could possibly do. I live in Saxon Street (a village 4 miles from the area), He knows this area well and has walked around here many times, he has never run away before and was relatively tired after the walk due to the heat. He likes water but is always very careful and avoids deep rivers and is more of a paddler sticking to the waters edge.

Lost: Kirtling Weir, near wooded area and near weir number 17 at 6.50pm, area searched until 10pm from Kirtling down to Great Bradley and Thurlow with no reported sightings. A reward will be offered.

any offers of help or news please call 07843 328889

sambo's owners are pulling out all the stops to try and find this boy..............water authority have been asked to turn the flow down on the weir so he could climb out more easily if he has fallen in!!.......
the b******s won't do it!!! (sorry it makes me so mad)

please join in the search if you are local..............so hoping sambo has wandered off and not fallen into the water. Crying or Very sad

Really hope this has a happy ending, and Sambo is found - he is gorgeous.

Would it harm the water board to turn the flow down for a bit, the mean sods - if it was a child, they'd not think twice. Mad
