It is believed the substance which could be Palm Oil and has been seen Vazon and at Portlet.

Update on the search for Bertie & to download a poster to help in the search (Wednesday 26th November)

Submitted by Steve on 11:38, 26th Nov, 2014 | 0

Although in the last 24 hours we have had no 100% confirmed sightings of Bertie, the day before yesterday in the morning there was a possible sighting near to his home on La Hure Mare Road just off Route Summerfield, which could mean that he may be very close to his home.

We did have a call of a possible stray dog last night in the Perelle area, which could have been Bertie, but we still have no pictures to confirm it was him.
