Each day is a new beginning, each new day brings the promise of Hope.


Gabby's dad, Ch Thornelea's Bond...James Bond escaped from Wrentham, Mass.

Please light a candle and say a prayer that Bond is found and reunited with his owner Carol.

Here's what we accomplished, week ending 8/25/14

Our newly updated flyers have been printed and are now being distributed to our volunteer posters. We are still going back into Wrentham and re-posting areas where the flyers have been removed or have succumbed to the weather.

Phone outreach has reported:
They have addressed all of the area vets, shelters, groomers, ACOs, training schools, DPW, town police, trash haulers, etc. The process of one-to-one phone calls will continue with a weekly reminder that we are still looking for Bond. Several more flyers were hand delivered to area vets, and kennels this week.

The Internet Lost Dog sites have been watched daily.
Many Internet findings were followed and found not to be Bond.
All possible "sightings" were investigated promptly and followed up
again the next day or within two days.

Possible sightings:

Cumberland RI: Bond follower reports hearing dog strike on Route 295 in Cumberland on his police scanner. Cumberland ACO reported German Shepard mix female was struck and killed.

North Attleboro: Bond follower reported seeing loose Golden walking down the sidewalk at Rt 1A and Rt 123 across he street from Roberts Tux. Area was searched and no other sightings have been reported.

Norfolk: Bond follower reported he was making a delivery to a home near Mirror Lake and family had a Golden that looked a lot like Bond. He found it odd that they had just recently had invisible fencing put in for their adult Golden. Our volunteer located the home and spoke with the home owner. The homeowner stated she had owned the dog since he was 8 weeks old and was purchased from a local breeder.The volunteer saw and met the dog and confirmed it was not Bond.

Norfolk: Bond Call Volunteer reports that one of the local trucking companies heard about the loose Golden at Stoney Brook. As we reported last week this dog is a medium sized yellow mixed breed dog.

Millis: Bond Call Volunteer reports owner of the Dog Barn recalled hearing there was a sighting of a Golden Retriever near Taughton Street at the Nursing home. He further stated this sighting occurred 3 weeks earlier.

Millis: Bond follower reports neighbor found Golden and brought it to his house asking if it were his dog. He further reports this occurred about 2 weeks earlier. The area has been checked, volunteers have been by the person finding the dogs home and have yet to been able to make face to face contact with them. We will continue to go back until that contact has been made. The Millis ACO has been made aware of this "find" as well.

New Hampshire: President of an area rescue group alerts us to a posting of a "found" Golden in Union City, NJ. We had been previously alerted to the same post and have confirmed it was not Bond.

New Hampshire: Bond follower reports seeing a “found" dog posting in Farmington. We contacted the animal hospital and were told the dog in question was approx. 10 yrs. old, intact male Golden mix.

Conventry, RI: Bond follower reports older Golden seen at the corner of Arnold and Harrington Streets. Volunteer canvassed area, no loose dogs found. No other reports of loose Golden.

Mansfield: Bond follower reports that a loose Golden was seen in the parking lot of convenient store on South Main St. We increased the posting in that area. Store employee tells us the Mansfield ACO was phoned the day the Golden was spotted.

Walpole: Bond follower reports seeing loose Golden on Route 95 south on the off ramp at exit 10 going into the woods. Volunteers did a visual search of the area and were able to go door to door. None of the neighbors have seen a loose Golden or report having a missing dog. That area will be searched again Monday (today) and heavily posted.

Walpole: Bond follower reports seeing loose Golden in neighbors yard around 3:00AM. Dog was seen at Common and Mass Ave., across the street from High School. Area will be posted heavily Monday (today) and neighbors will be questioned.

A special thank you goes out to all of our volunteers. Any out of state followers that would like to become involved, please know we can always use your help. Please contact us with a PM on the Bond Facebook page.

Volunteers have been called to help with our door to door walk. Walkers have agreed to submit to a CORI check by the Wrentham Police. This process has just started. Anyone wishing to join this effort please post us on Facebook. WE STILL NEED PEOPLE TO SIGN UP FOR THIS !!!!!

Again we wish to thank all of our volunteers for their dedication to this effort and to all of our positive Facebook Followers.
