Bone Found Might Be Dog Lost To Seagull

The continuing search for the tiny Chihuahua has taken a possible turn for the worst with a bone discovered that might be his!

Gizmo was carried off in the beak of a Seagull a few weeks ago and a frantic search for his whereabouts has been ongoing mainly via the internet. However, someone discovered a bone of a dogs leg that could be his.

The whole sorry sage started when Rebecca Hill, 24, said her four-year-old Chihuahua was carried off by a Seagull that swooped into her garden carried off poor Gizmo.

The whole scene was witnessed by her boyfriend who saw the dog carried off in the Seagulls beak.

Original Story Below:

Since then no hide nor hair of Gizmo has been spotted, despite the continued efforts of Rebecca and her boyfriend.

Up until now, that is.

Natalie Williams, 29, has possibly found the remains of a small dogs leg on a roof frequented by gull’s, the discovery was made on Friday, July 26th.

The leg bone apparently has a patch of fur a similar color to the vanished chihuahua’s, the bone has been sent to vet for forensic examination. The roof is also a favored nesting area for gulls.

“On Friday, I found what can only be described as a mammal’s leg on a fire escape at the back. I straight away thought of Gizmo as it looks like it belongs to a dog.

“I really hope I’m wrong.”

According to The Sun, Rebecca was notified of the discovery but was too upset to comment.

Experts had previously warned that the gull could have eaten the dog.

DogLost coordinator Wayne May told the Sun: “It wouldn’t be out of the seagull’s remit to swallow a dog that size whole.

“If it’s a black-backed seagull, it would be more than capable of swallowing a chihuahua.

“It doesn’t look good. They are aggressive predators.”

One of the country’s leading specialists in the behaviour of urban seagulls, Peter Rock, also said it wouldn’t be the first time a seagull has been found to have eaten a large animal.

Speaking to the paper, he said: “If they can get something down their throats then they will eat it.

“Given the chance they will eat anything and this poor dog sounds about the size of a rabbit, but I do hope she gets him back.”
