My parents’ beloved 12-year-old whippet went missing around West Footscray in Melbourne’s inner-west. He was probably living out his worst nightmare.
We put Ravi’s dog bed and a bowl of water on the front porch. The outside light was left on and the gate open. We invited a miracle, but expected the worst.
He was seen on the grassy verge of a service road, giving us hope he’d avoided the main thoroughfare. But it quickly became apparent that Ravi had already crossed it. Later on Wednesday evening, Ravi was spotted on the wrong side of another busy road near Tottenham Railway Station.“I couldn’t help because the dog was very scared,” reported Jeanette.The trail went cold until Thursday morning, when we got a fresh report of a loose whippet in Sydenham on the outskirts of Melbourne.
Then came a devastating development. Mum caught sight of the dog we were tracking. It was not Ravi but another, much younger whippet that was also on the loose.
