A call for help on social networks was launched by his mistress, Valérie Foubart. Sweeney, une jack Russell three and a half years old, disappeared Monday November 18, from her home,Grand Clos Stableat La Duvalière, located in the Heurtaudière sector, Les Monceaux and not far from the axis of the D16, linking Vimoutiers (Orne) to Orbec (Calvados).
A devastated owner
A disappearance which immediately alarmed her since “it is absolutely not in her habits” underlines, collapsed, Valérie Foubart, met 24 hours after her dog had disappeared. This situation worries him to the greatest extent.
She is neither a runaway nor a hunter. On the contrary. I call it my pilot fish. She is with me all the time. His disappearance took place between 4:30 p.m. and 5 p.m. I went to get a mare from the paddock, which I returned in the evening. Sweeney came with me.
“I’m desperate”
To access the place, you must cross the Duvalière road which separates the land from the estate. “As I was closing the gate with the mare, I called my dog back. With the rainy weather, I had a jacket with a hood, but I saw Sweeney crossing the road and following me.” And then, Valérie Foubart brings her horse in and realizes that her dog is no longer there. “We called him and looked everywhere! “.
All the hypotheses are swirling in Valérie Foubart's head, but she excludes that of running away. “She is chipped and tattooed, but did not have her necklace at that time.” The teacher specifies “that she is sterilized. She is also under medical treatment which it is imperative that she takes.”
A call from the heart
Valérie Foubart alerted the veterinary clinic, but also the shelters, the Icad and the gendarmerie.
If anyone took it, give it back to me. If anyone knows anything, please come forward. I'm desperate.
Two other disappearances in early November
The situation may seem disturbing given the fact that, at the beginning of November, two other disappearances of dogs were reported in the Vimoutiers sector. However, if on social networks it is mentioned “the disappearance of five dogs in the space of two weeks in the Vimoutiers sector”, according to the information collected, two of them are not proven.
The two other disappearances reported on social networks are those of Numbus, a beagle X hunting terrier (black color, camel brown with neon green collar) disappeared on 1is November, in the commune of Champeaux and that Orla, a fox terrier, on November 3 in Canapville.
Two dogs in a hunting situation
The context of their disappearance differs from that of Sweeney. These two dogs were in a hunting situation at the time of their disappearance. Tanguy Gauclin, from Moyauxis Orla's master. He indicates that “we sometimes lose our dogs while hunting. But generally, we find them two or three days later.”
Regarding Orla “my dog shows and she is very close to me and my family. She only hunts with me and never goes more than 60 yards away. If I go a quarter of an hour without seeing her, there must be something abnormal.”
“We raked everything, checked everything”
For ten days, with around fifteen family members and friends, as well as a digging team, we raked everything, checked everything. I also went door to door. If my dog had been injured or something, she would definitely have been found. We notified the gendarmerie, placing a handrail.
“If you hunt here, don’t be surprised”
After the calls launched on the networks, “we received more than 150 messages! There is a real problem there. There would be settling of scores which would take place through the intermediary of animals”, with recurrently, “hunting dogs which disappear. Besides, local people told me, if you hunt here, don't be surprised if they disappear.”
What a member of the digging team told him was strange.
Two years ago, he lost a beagle nearby. He searched for it for fifteen days, without finding any trace. A few days later, a veterinarian from Bayeux called him saying his dog was there.
“It’s not normal what’s happening”
Nadia, his wife, assures him, “I am not a hunter, but I know my dog by heart. She would never have left alone.”
Other dogs will pass by, other dogs will disappear, and other kids will cry. It's not normal what's happening.
The hope of finding Orla is still within them, even if they no longer really believe in it. We tried to contact the mayor, Marie-France Tabard, on this subject. But she did not respond to our requests.
