About Dave

Meet Dave Rimmer

I’m Dave Rimmer. Through Eye in the Sky, I’ve spent years searching for lost dogs, drawing on my background in military surveillance and reconnaissance.

That experience has put me in a position to teach others what to do when a dog goes missing. Last Seen brings it all together, so fewer dogs go missing and more come home.

The problem

Every dog professional's worst moment

A slipped lead. A gate left open. A new rescue dog that bolts on day one. When a dog in your care goes missing, the first hour decides a lot, and most people have never been taught what to do in it.

Panic, chasing and calling make things worse. A clear plan makes things better.

Part of what we do

We help all dogs come home

Every search has one goal: getting the dog home. Alongside that work, we've also secured foreign rescues during searches, and we can give advice on foreign rescues too.
