Help! Lost Dog! UPDATE Cassie now found

[Cassie the dog]

UPDATE tues 11:20am
Cassie was seen on the main road at Ackergill about 10:15am. If she makes her way into Wick it is possible she might find our house in Tolbooth Lane as she has stayed here a couple of times before. She is obviously tired and hungry now.
Any news is welcome. Thankyou.

UPDATE I thought I had managed to post an update last night. Cassie is still footloose and fancy-free I'm afraid. She was seen around Keiss several times yesterday and my husband nearly got her about five o-clock on the green there. However she disappeared into the darkness again and that was that. She must be getting tired and hungry now. She hates being wet so if it rains she will probably look for a barn, shed or garage to shelter in. To be honest I don't now how we are actually going to get hold of her now. food and patience are all I can think of. A calm approach and matter of fact voice are essential.
Thank you all for taking such an interest.

I lost my friend's dog this afternoon at Keiss beach. She ran from the Golf Club carpark north towards Keiss and was last sighted in the dunes beyond the river in the vicinity of Subseas pipe terminal and may have headed inland. She is medium sized, black with a long tail and wearing a pink harness. She is a nervous dog as she is a rescue animal and difficult to get hold of, but she does like her food. Any food! She lives in Orkney and could be anywhere. She's a fast runner and could cover a lot of ground in unfamiliar territory. We searched all afternoon and are desperate to find her. She is called Cassie.
If anyone sees her could they please contact me on 07899 784422 or 01955 606384.
Thank you.

UPDATE Cassie is still missing, but thanks to those of you who reported sightings. She was last seen around 11pm on the main road at Freswick. She may be heading back to Gills Bay where she arrived, but in any case the north coast I think.
As to breed, well who knows? Medium sized. long tail, pointy ears, medium length coat but black with a pink harness is very distinctive.
Catching her will be difficult and the best bet is food.
Thank you all again.

UPDATE 14:00
Cassie has been sighted at Keiss and again back at Reiss Golf Club. Still not got her and camping out in the golf club carpark until we hear anything else. Thank you all for helping.

I suspect you mean Cassie ran away on Reiss Beach heading towards Wester?

Is Cassie a Lab/Cocker cross perchance? I've had more than a few worrying minutes with my Lab/Cocker cross at Reiss.

The good thing to remember (and I know it's little consolation) is that Reiss Beach is quite far from the main road. Hopefully Cassie is warm & comfy in a farmhouse or barn tonight and will be reunited with her owners tomorrow.

What a fantastic outcome for Cassie and also her owner and her carers !!!

This has very obviously been such an extremely popular thread for whatever reasons. I, as I'm sure others on here too, am wondering if this is the most "viewed thread" on Caithness.Org (Pet's Forum) ?

Just curious.....Bill, if you could give us a guide as to whether "Help, Lost Dog" with regards to Cassie has made a new "record" on the "Pet Forums" ? Thank You .

Happy ending so this thread has been re-titled and unstuck.
