Since the Friday, October 30th sightings put Izzie in the Newport area, we've been concentrating on that area as far as spreading the word. (No place and no person is actually safe from Izzie's flier or calling card, but Newport has been the focus.) We talked to people, handed out the card, posted the flier - in Newport, at Pandapas Pond, at the Appalachian Trail.
And a call came in Sunday evening, from a family member of someone we spoke with that passed the word on, that she was sighted around October 25th near Clover Hollow Road and Laurel Creek Spring Road. She appeared to be traveling alone.
So, this sighting puts Izzie in Newport five days ahead of when we had previously learned she was there. We are happy to have this information even though it came to us two full weeks after it occurred.
While we would REALLY be thrilled with live, hot sightings by people that see her NOW, we want to get any information, even outdated, about where she's been seen. If we are able to track some kind of pattern, it's possible for us to get ahead of her.
Right now, it seems that her travels aren't a pattern at all, but just one big wandering journey that started on August 1st and is continuing to this day. But we know that there haven't been enough sightings to really give us a pattern. We know only that there have been cases in the past, with other lost dogs, where the searchers had enough sighting information to determine a pattern, and they were able to put a humane trap in the dog's path -- putting an end to the search.
We'd love to do the same. So - calling all past sighters: if you feel that you have seen Izzie and can describe the date and location, it's not too late to make a call.
