A search for a dog who went missing near Pantperthog Mine one week ago has been resumed.
Charlie, a tri-colour 14-year-old Border Collie who recently lost an eye, went missing at lunchtime last Friday whilst out walking above Dyfi Bike Park near the mine.
Owners Annie and Roy Craggs have been searching for Charlie ever since but their beloved pet has not been found, but a new lead is giving them hope.
Speaking to the Cambrian News this morning, Annie said: “We are heading to Abergynolwyn to meet the dog team and a lady who heard a faint bark near the quarries where they are checking today. She messaged us a couple I day ago. She has looked herself and has asked to meet today so she can show us where she has heard this.”
Charlie is wearing a collar with an ID tag.
He is microchipped and neutered.
Abderdyfi Search and Rescue members, with the help of David Stubbs from the British International Rescue and Search Dogs, have been looking for Charlie, and Missing Dogs Team Wales have experienced search and rescue members, Anthony Bailey and Jamie Tyrell, on the ground searching with thermal drones and other equipment.
A Facebook group – Find Charlie – has been set up.
