STILL DESPERATELY SEEKING BIGGIE
ALMOST 30,000 people across the country rallied in a desperate search for a missing Gold Coast bulldog, but the beloved pet pooch has still not been reunited with his owners.
Biggie the two-year-old British bulldog was reported “stolen” from the family’s Gaven home on March 31, 2021 – more than a year and a half ago.
The family offered a $5000 reward for the safe return of Biggie, who “has health issues and cannot be used for breeding”.
Sightings were reported across southeast Queensland, including in Ipswich and Logan, but some claimed to have spotted the dog as far south as Sydney.
Biggie’s disappearance has captured hearts across the nation as it’s been chronicled on the Bring Biggie Boy Home Facebook page, which has racked up more than 27,000 followers.
The widespread search – which has surpassed many campaigns aimed at locating missing people – has also been widely publicised by media across Australia, including A Current Affair.
“We just want him home, that’s it, no questions asked,” owner Nadine Steadman said at the time.
Recently, a new update emerged on Facebook, but it did not carry with it positive news about Biggie.
“Missing you so much our beautiful boy,” the post read.
“Baby is nearly 2 and you would’ve been her best ever friend. Instead she just looks at photos of you. I wish so hard that you were still here.
“Forever in our hearts, always on our minds and I promise never forgotten. I love you so much Biggie Boy.”
Biggie is described as brown, caramel and white in colour with tan ears.
The family has been contacted for information on the search. Know more? Phone Policelink on 131 444.
