Lost Dog

edwardrake · July 20, 2009

Guys, if anyone comes across my little 2 year old Chihuahua, Oscar, please let me know.

He ran into some trouble. Usually he stays close to the house, fairly secluded. This time a bitch on heat got him interested & took him in the direction of the Petchkasem Highway, 500 yards from the house. My place is between the beach (Krisda Thanon) & the main road, 1/2 mile south of Oriental Beach on Petchkasem, 5 km south of Cha Am.

The locals saw him a few times near the road. Being so tiny he got attacked by the bigger male dogs & last seen heading north up Petchkasem Road past Oriental Beach going against traffic about 7 pm last night. I don't think he got hit by a car, heard various motorbikers tried to catch him & he ran off. By the time I started to search it was dark. This morning searched up & down the road, no sign of impact. It's possible someone cornered him & picked him up, if so he could be anywhere. Traffic at that point was southbound toward Hua Hin. I'm sorry to say he wasn't wearing his collar last night.

Large reward to any kind soul who can locate him.**email removed per forum rules--please PM the poster--sbk Cheers everyone.

Wouldn't be easy to spot if he don't have the collar... lots of dogs around.

But good luck anyway! Don't usually go that way, but will tell if i see him

Any luck?

Any luck?

Afraid not. We put up 50 posters with his pic all around, nothing back. If someone picked him up he may have a decent life wherever he's gone. Found out the male dogs in charge of the bitch chased him onto the road then the dogs at the local shop on Petchkasem chased him 1/2 mile further up the highway & he missed his soi to get back home, scared out of his wits in traffic. An outdoor dog but not a street dog, he'd never been near Petchkasem Rd.

Looking into GPS doggie collars. The new ones are smaller & use a sim chip instead of sim card, plus RF frequency that gives a position fix if the dog is taken indoors when the GPS signal is cut off, RF pinpoints location inside a house or building. Ideally the tracking stuff would display on say an with Google Maps.

Sorry to hear you havnt found your dog , but was quite interested in the collars you mentioned and would be interested in getting one for my dog, Is there a place in Hua Hin that you can buy these collars? thanks MT

Having seen the GPS dog collars that are available these days, they are still of such a size that I think a small Chihuahua would need some sort of steroids to be able to walk around with them on.

It's a very nice idea though, and you would imagine that they in time come up with smaller versions.
