Members of local groups on social networks and many regulars from small businesses could not miss these yellow banners circling a husky and reading: “Shon is lost, help me find him“.

Since January 6, six hundred posters have been put up in the streets of several golf towns, and social networks are flooded with messages about the young dog’s disappearance, shared by hundreds of people almost daily.

Thousands of shares on social networks

Since January 6, Gabrielle Prompt, Shon’s mistress, has moved heaven and earth to find her faithful companion. This forward-thinking gardoise had nevertheless equipped his animal with a GPS beacon, “but he lost it on the night of January 4-5. I found it in the woods the next morning but haven’t seen Shon since”she specifies before tracing the fruits of her research.

“A neighbor of Bas Oliviers saw him on Friday the 6th at four o’clock in the morning. Then it appears that he was seen on the seafront of Sainte-Maxime during the day on January 11th and towards the Square Tower in the evening. I spent the following day in the Place des Boules with a local dog so he could recognize the smell.” Without success.

Meanwhile, Gabrielle quits her job as a real estate agent to focus on research. She multiplies calls for help on social networks. Seeking the competition of thermal drone pilots or even buggies to hunt the husky.

The continuation of the investigation in Poitiers

As a result, thousands of shares and dozens of people interested in this disappearance. “Many people called me to tell me where they thought they had seen him and even to accompany me on the track. Near La Nartelle on Friday the 13th in the morning then the Préconil district the same day… but every time I’m late. He’s a dog that walks a lot, he can cover tens of kilometers in a single day.”

Today, after several days without Shon being seen, Gardoise is on a new trail. Again blown by a contributor on the social network: “A husky very similar to mine was taken care of by the SPA in Poitiers. The disturbing thing is that he had hair cut on his left shoulder like mine after an operation. He has since been given to someone but I suspect that it is Shon who was stolen and then re-chipped by this person. In any case, I filed a complaint with the gendarmerie. The Poitiers municipal police should take over to try to find this person…”

As she awaits the results of this investigation, Gabrielle is moved by the strong mobilization for her dog. “For some it may be just an animal, but for me it is a member of the family. It brings me a lot and I thank all those who understood my approach and helped me. Sometimes they come from Sanary or even Marseille to participate in the research.”
