Michelle, Stephen, Lilly and Poppy Tindal have been searching for their much-loved Bernese Mountain dog, Sash since New Years Eve.
She disappeared at around 9pm when the first fireworks went off and has been spotted near Dame Patti Park in Sunrise beach and then again near the Chalet and Co Café where she crossed the road and went into bushland near the toilet block at Sunrise Beach and disappeared.
Unfortunately none of the vets, RSPCA or Council had any good news once they reopened on Tuesday and although the family has placed flyers around Sunrise Beach they have been taken down.
The Tindalls have received great support from their community helping them search all the dunes and bushland from Sunshine Beach to Burgess Creek and back up into Sunrise Beach and behind the Bicentennial Hall and schools.
“We are really relying on the public to help us with any sightings and are also fearful that she may have been picked up and taken out of the area.
“Our girl Sash has recently had surgery in early December so still has a shaved area on her left hand side,” Michelle said.
Sash also struggles with her walking, especially if she has been out for a long time.
“We cannot thank the community near and far enough for their wonderful support in helping spread the word through social media to try to help us find our girl.
“The offers of help to look, put up posters and door knock have blown us away,” she said.
Please contact the Tindalls if you have seen their pooch Sash on 0438 399 430.
