Earlier today we were all very excited with a possible report of Bertie out in the day in a garden, but sadly it wasn't him and the dog that it turned out to be is soon to be back with its owner.
Despite staff, volunteers and the wonderful public who are watching out for Bertie we have not had a firm report in the last 36 hours, although there was a possible sighting at Barras Lane in the early hours of yesterday morning.
Most recent sightings have been around the Grandes Rocque area and near St Sampson's High School.
Today at the GSPCA we met with Clive and Lynn McMinn to help in the search of Bertie.
As many will know on Saturday near the Vale Primary School around 6pm a 7 year old grey Schnauzer rescue dog called Bertie was scared by bonfire displays and escaped from his back garden.
The GSPCA are helping co-ordinate the search for Bertie and have a working map with sightings, locations, dates and times.
We would like to highlight that Bertie is a very timid little lad especially with men and people he doesn't know.

The GSPCA have been in contact with his owners Clive and Lynn McMinn who are desperately searching for Bertie.
They have been receiving reports from all parts of the community and there is now a facebook site dedicated to helping find him - https://www.facebook.com/HelpFindBertie?fref=ts
Earlier today at the GSPCA we had an elderly cat arrive in a semi collapsed state.
The female tabby and white cat was found in Perelle and has a number of ailments.
Sadly no collar or microchip was found and she has been rushed to the vets where she is currently on a drip.
She has been called Cesca but we are appealing for an owner to come forward and if you have lost a cat in the Perelle area of an older age with no microchip then please call us on 01481 257261.
This year we have seen 13 stray tortoise and currently we have 2 at the Shelter.
All 11 that came in earlier in the year are back with their owners but Ridley as he's been named above by Shelter staff and Fabian below both came in last week.
Ridley was found in the Camp du Roi area and Fabian was found at L'Ancresse.
Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said 'This year we have seen more stray Tortoise than ever before.'
'If anyone has lost any pet we always urge them to report it at the Shelter as we see anywhere between 50 and sometimes over 100 stray animals every month.'
This morning the GSPCA had a call about a stray Snake in the St Peter Port area.
Animal Collection Officer Geoff George before he started his shift had a call to help with a rescue of a Snake.
Geoff made his way to First Tower Lane where he found the Albino Corn Snake.
He quickly secured it and it is now back at the GSPCA Animal Shelter in St Andrews, Guernsey.
Geoff George said 'The Albino Corn Snake I rescued this morning seems very well and is fine to handle.'
Currently the GSPCA have 4 stray tortoise.
Last year we saw a total of nine stray tortoise and this year it looks like even more may be escaping and visiting the GSPCA.
