Quote:

VANCOUVER — A Langley, B.C. couple has hired two American animal psychics to help find a missing four-legged mom.

Nisga’a, a prized Coton de Tulear pooch, disappeared last week while being walked by an international student staying with the couple.

When the student took off his mittens to answer his cellphone and dropped the leash, the two-year-old dog — worth about $3,500 — ran off into a field.

Nisga’a had just had her first litter — three puppies of the rare breed that originated in Madagascar around three centuries ago — and was still nursing when she went missing.

“I have spent so much time walking that field,” an emotional Sonya Paterson, 49, said Friday.

“But I’m not giving up hope. “I volunteered to go to New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina (in 2005) to care for the pets there, so I know all too well that dogs can survive. Dogs there were found huddling underneath a porch for days.”

After Nisga’a vanished, David and Sonya Paterson immediately launched a poster campaign. Then they brought in U.S. psychic pet detectives Christine Kamp-Adante of Sandpoint, Idaho, and Terry Jay of Reno, Nev.

“I spent an hour with (Jay) on the phone and she said: ‘I feel very strongly that she is alive,’” said Sonya. “She said: ‘Someone will find her and take her to a vet because she is lactating.’ So I have been calling every vet.

“The other psychic said she also feels very strongly that Nisga’a is alive. She said she has been dowsing (an act of searching for something, usually using a stick) and Nisga’a is in a forest with very tall trees.”

Paterson, a former school trustee, has done everything in her power to find Nisga’a. She took her other dogs — Cody, the pups’ father, and eight-month-old Coton Kitasoo — to the area. The whimpering pups were kept in the crate in her car to try to entice the missing mutt out of hiding.

Nisga’a was still attached to her collar and leash when she disappeared, and has a micro-chip ID tag.
