A British family in Dubai is urgently seeking help to find their missing dog, Bolt. Their playful white dog disappeared during a walk, and the family is offering a reward of AED 5,000 for his safe return. They have been tirelessly searching for him for over 10 days and are now reaching out to the community for help. Keep reading to find out all the details you need to know about Bolt and how you can safely return him to his family if found.
Details On When & Where Bolt Was Last Seen
The family had just moved into their new home in Jumeirah Heights the day before Bolt went missing. During an evening walk on Friday, October 4, their son tripped, loosening his grip on Bolt’s leash. That’s when Bolt, who was likely feeling unsettled in the unfamiliar surroundings, ran off. The last time Bolt was seen, it was around 8 pm, near a busy intersection on Al Khail Street close to Garn Al Sabkha Street and Ibn Battuta Mall.
Important Details On Bolt’s Appearance
Bolt is a medium-sized mixed-breed dog with a pure white coat. He was wearing a black harness with an orange lead when he ran off. He’s been microchipped and neutered, so identifying him should be easier if found.
The Family’s Relentless Search Continues
The family, who have lived in Dubai for eight years, has spared no effort in trying to bring Bolt back. They’ve taken to social media, placed posters around their neighbourhood, and even formed search parties to look for him. The family has also reached out to Dubai Municipality and nearby veterinary clinics in case anyone reports finding a dog. I urge those of you who are reading that may live in the same area as Bolt’s family or any place nearby to keep your heart with Bolt and help return him to safety.
Community Support Keeps Hopes High
Thankfully, many kind-hearted people have come forward to help in the search. The family have been overwhelmed by the support from strangers. A WhatsApp group called ‘Finding Bolt’ was set up, and the hashtag #findingboltdubai has been circulating on social media to spread awareness.
