After about 3-4 weeks of searching we spotted Mason at another property which backs onto a neighbours house across the road. We are still trying to trap him into a pet cage to bring him home..We appreciate the information this site had provided regarding peace of mind what to expect where to look not to worry too soon and loading Masin information with photo to this site also gave us hope that eventually we would find him. He was 8 years oldcame from Nelson and jumped our fence the very next day so we were blessed to find him and still in good health.
Thanks again Lost Pet finders.
Paul and family.
