HOW amazing are the people of Merseyside!
Harvey is a three-year-old, black/grey miniature poodle who went missing from Rainhill on November 23.
He was wearing a red harness at the time. Since he disappeared a group known as ‘Harvey’s Army’ are united in their mission to find him.
People are systematically combing the areas around where Harvey has been sighted, sometimes going out at all hours at the drop of a hat, leaflets are being distributed, posters have been designed and displayed.
Harvey even has his own Facebook page ‘Find Harvey’ with nearly 3,000 followers. Celebrities are even tweeting about him.
This is not just another missing dog story. The way in which people are working together is remarkable. They are giving time and energy to their mission with great honesty, courtesy and out of the goodness of their hearts.
Harvey’s owners, Jude and Shaun, are heartbroken, they live in Sheffield and were visiting friends in Rainhill.
They left Harvey at their friends’ home to go out for the evening, but he is very rarely left and became anxious.
They think he ran to find them but does not know the area and is extremely frightened and avoids humans.
Jude and Shaun have spent their Christmas and New Year sleeping in a camper van in the Rainhill area, and are sometimes out until the early hours trying to find him.
Initial sightings have extended from the Rainhill Stoops roundabout to Rainhill village near takeaways and parks, Stoney Lane, Mill Lane and Old Lane estates and fields, around the Holt and the field near there. Harvey, we believe, has also been sighted at Stadt Moers, Huyton, St Helens, Prescot and most recently in and around Whiston, St Luke’s School and Hospital.
There is a reward for his safe return. Please keep your eyes open, we know a lot of people don’t use social networking sights and somebody may have even kindly have taken him in.
He is greatly loved and missed by his owners. People are asked if they could join Harvey’s Facebook page and if he is sighted then please use the contact details on this page.
We have all fallen in love with Harvey and want him back home where he belongs. Thank you Merseysiders, you’re fabulous!
