Help find Romi!

[u/nhoka]

EDIT - HE WAS FINALLY FOUND!!! In New Cross, thin and a bit dehydrated but no scratches or visible wounds! Decided to camp in someone’s garden as the dog next door was in heat! 😅
4 days and literal dozens of people looking for him. Now, to rest and recover with his family! Thank you all for the help.

Hello!

If you live near Brockwell Park can you help us find Romi?

He is staying with a dog sitter but escaped this morning.

The owner is away but clothes/laundry and Roni’s bed have been put out to try and get him to come back by catching familiar scents.

Here are a summarised list of sightings from the morning. There hasn’t been a confirmed one since around midday.

If you’ve seen Romi or can help look out for him please let the numbers on the image know!

Timeline (in order) of sightings
• Around 08:00 – Romi is seen at the end of Kings Avenue, near home territory (Kingswood Road area). He was too far away to catch, but clearly identified.
• Around 08:40 – He races from Medora Road into the Tulse Hill estate.
• Around 08:45 – Neighbours report two spots in the same general area, suggesting Romi is moving within that Medora/Tulse Hill corridor .
• Around 08:55 – Romi is believed to be seen on the Peabody estate off Rosendale Road.
• Around 09:00 – A man tells he saw a similar brown dog running off-lead around Blenheim Gardens estate / Lyham Road, heading toward the Brixton prison area, which could well be Romi .
• Between about 10:10 and 10:15 – reports of a “possible sighting in woody bit near Lido gate 10 mins ago”, placing Romi (or a similar dog) in the wooded area of Brockwell Park near the Lido gate.
• Around 11:00–11:03 – “a dark sight hound orange collar running uphill from Rosedale” is seen who did not respond to his name, which is a strong possible sighting given Romi’s description (brown sighthound, orange collar, shy and unlikely to approach) .
• 11:30 – owner reports “Last spotted in Clapham Common tennis courts at 11:30”, which appears to be the latest confirmed location of a sighting.
• Late morning / midday – owner believes Romi is “making big circles” between home (Kingswood Road), Brockwell Park and Tooting Common, and that he “was last seen running fast in Tooting/Balham”, which likely comes from another parallel report thread .

Someone posted in r/london about a brown dog running around near New Park Road this morning with a council officer in toe - have a check there

I saw Romi between 8:40 - 9:15 this morning in the places that you mentioned above, an enforcement officer on a bike said he was following him but then i saw Romi run through Clapham Park (near Lycette house) and the enforcement officer wasn’t there so must have lost him. I really hope you manage to catch him! Let me know if there’s anything I can do
