Dave Mason and two other search dog handlers called by Staffordshire 
police to Loggerheads to assist in the search for a 79 year old male missing since mid-morning. The gentleman is believed to be an Alzheimer sufferer and does not normally walk far from his home.
The three search dogs were asked to clear a two mile area of woodland but nothing was found. The incident is still ongoing with Staffordshire police but Peak District search dogs or teams have not been re-called to assist.
Unfortunately the body of Gordon Beard was found recently. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/staffordshire/8504298.stm
