us04: Unfortunately it looks like all the paw prints, along with the waypoint and the final have gone missing. Will need to look at alternatives for this.

Geocache Description:

A quick cache following a night trail. Bring a torch and help find our lost puppy in this park. There is no need to cross a road and there is parking beside the park. A slide afterwards is also fun.

Our tiny puppy has been a bit naughty and ran away from us. We would really like to find him, but need some help.

When we last saw our puppy he had been up a cabbage tree, but jumped down from there and ran towards a nearby park bench (by the hedge). We're not sure where he went from there, but he did leave some paw prints behind. If you follow these you should be able to find him.

Luckily his paw prints show up in the dark if you point a torch at them, but they are very small so you may need to look hard sometimes. Hold the torch near your head for best reflection. The paw prints are mostly near ground level, making it easier for younger geocachers to follow.

When you find the puppy he will give you the final cache location (where he has left his bones). The final cache is also reflective.
