From the start:

Dave and the American breeder  met the new owners from Quesnel at the Osoyoos border crossing, exchanged  appropriate papers and then headed back to Oliver.

New owners stopped at Canadian Tire to pick up a  proper sized harness for Dave and he got away from them and bolted down Rd #1  turning into the orchard at Collin’s Pond.

Hours were spent searching for him in  the area and he was at one time spotted over near Cessna St only to again bolt  away heading back towards the pond.

Joe Kirs spotted him heading thru the  orchard and the search carried on into the darkness in the Yarrow St area. It is our understanding that Joan Whiteman did some evening searching and we did more  night searching with car & flashlight after 10:30 pm.

A welcome phone call  at 7:00 am from Joe to say he has David cornered in his garage and he is now  wagging his tail and having breakfast and resting before continuing his  trip to his new home in Quesnel after an exciting night out on the  town.
