Sadly, Komu found the remains of Steve. The evidence Komu pointed out to me was conclusive. Although we did not find much, what we did find made it clear that Steve did not survive. He was 17 years old, with health issues. It appears he was taken by a bobcat, although it may have been a different predator. Komu indicated evidence on the other side of a fence, behind a hedge, where it would have been very difficult to find, looking for black fur in deep shade on a gloomy day. Komu did an excellent job. I think he may have been a bit sad on the ride home, and I wonder if he understands what happened to Steve. Komu is certainly much happier to find cats alive.
The conditions were ideal for a search dog.
