Yes. They posted this morning that she was located. She was spotted on 2 Ring cams and then located.

Prob the single greatest "pup hunt" in OBX history...even brought in a "dog tracker"...had no idea that was a thing.

So happy to hear Dixie was reunited w her people...certainly a well loved pup!

I was so afraid the pup might have met the same sad ending as poor Honey ( a month or so ago)

If you're talking about the dog in Wanchese killed by a charter captain who has a history of that sort of thing, it was 3 days ago.


RE: Lost dog!




But, let's, please, forget I even mentioned it.

Why? Why would you even bring it up then. You can just edit your old post or just stand by it. I'm not stating any opinion I may have on the matter. I only hope everyone involved gets a chance to clear the air publicly using any available legal avenue they have to do a formal inquiry into the accusations.

You're right, done, edited/amended (at least to what I'm able to). If you know this part of the world, doubt there will be any formal inquiry...

Again, let's not let my "brain wander" take anything away from the fabulous news of Dixie's safe return


RE: Lost dog!




Yes dog tracking is a thing nowadays drone services! Found many a dog in Ohio. Sadly a business owner here was missing an older dog gave a $10000 dollar reward for the safe return. No one could find her. Later she was found dead in a pond on their property over the winter. Everyone here hires a drone if the dog isn't found quickly. One dog was traveling with deer on a heat sensor. Not chasing just staying with deer! Then they get the owner there to call for the dog. Recently a drone service found a missing man that was in bike accident I think. He didn't make it.

Sad story about my baby brother's dog. They were in Mexico over Christmas and next door neighbor was handling their dog.

Well, the neighbor called and said they couldn't find the dog. They have a doggie door at the back of their house and Trixie( named after Daddy's dog) zipped through it to potty, etc. and she was nowhere to be found. Turns out, she had fallen into their pool cover which had tons of water from recent rains and couldn't claw her way out of it. She drowned and the neighbor found her and called them in Mexico to advise. Of course, they all screamed crying at the death and baby bro told neighbor to handle it with the vet and ashes, etc. We all cried so much over this. She was a wonderful girl and always could be found on Halloween with a costume. Truly haunted all of us. Now, with a new dog, they have yet another fence around the pool to keep the new dog, Sapphire (blue eyes) away from the pool. All of us were just sick about the way she passed.

For those wondering about the dog in Manteo/Wanchese: "Honey" was shot and killed by a local resident a few days ago when the dog wandered onto his property. There is a large uproar on social media about it.

"Dixie" is the dog that was lost in South Nags Head and safely found a couple days later. There was a social media blitz over that like I've never seen around here. Happy ending to a stressful few days for that family.


RE: Lost dog!




So glad you found Dixie. You mentioned a dog tracker. How were they tracking, if you don't mind my asking. Did Dixie have a chip implanted that they were following, if so was it just a standard chip from a vet? I'm asking because I'm considering one for my pup.

I think they had a tracker who came with a sniffing dog and they also deployed drones with thermal imaging. I saw a screenshot posted of a dog's track, but came to believe that this was the track the tracking/sniffing dog was on when it was following Dixie's scent. Someone mentioned in the comments that they do have GPS trackers for dogs, but given how many days Dixie was missing I can't imagine she was wearing one. In the end it appears that two Ring cam sightings allowed them to get a very small search area and then she was located. I unfortunately missed the exact details of what occurred in the few hours since the Ring cam videos and her being reunited. Please post if anyone knows!

And in regard to the other dog in this thread, Honey. Click to follow link...

And a link for those not on Facebook. Not a good look for the guy and his businesses. If the felony sticks it may be difficult to remain a hunting guide.

I used to like this guy even though he seemed very rural thinking. This is too rural and I hope they throw the book at him.

What does “rural thinking” mean?

People everywhere mistreat animals. I live not far from Raleigh in a not so rural area these days and I had to call the cops on my neighbor for mistreatment. Unfortunately it was legal because the dog was tied to a tree with access to a 3-sides shelter with a roof and bedding material. And it had water when the cops showed up because it hadn’t knocked it over yet. We put enough pressure on them to surrender the dog and we drove it to its new family who adopted it in Ashboro.


RE: Lost dog!




Hopefully, and it should, be all hashed out soon with Honey. Both sides will be heard.

I was pummeled by my brother's next door neighbor's BIG puppy today in the sense that it had not been disciplined properly and jumps on people and wouldn't stop. I kneed him in the chest as should be done in that scenario and it didn't stop him. I'm only 5'4' about now these days and he shredded my arm with puppy nail claws. Drove home with a dripping arm soaking through my long sleeved shirt only to get stuck in a horrific car accident line on Bent MTN road for an hour and my shirt had dried somewhat when I got home and I had to strip it off and start the blood flowing again!!!!

All patched up now. I blame the owner and not the dog. Dog hadn't been taught.

Thanks. My relationship with my neighbor is interesting, but that’s no biggie. We’re civil, but not hanging out for beers together. :-)
