Dog Gone Detectives

05/02/2026

Hi, my name is Skyler. I wanted to take a moment to write an appreciation letter for Kat Manning and her amazing search and rescue dog, Blizzard Manning. I nearly never write reviews but we without a doubt vouch for Kat and Blizzard! Hopefully they can help you find your beloved animals when you’re in need.

My fiancé and I lost our indoor cat, Salem, after she bolted out of our back door around midnight. We had no idea she got out until morning came and we could not find her. Therefore, a lot of time has passed for Salem to venture off to who knows where. We got a tip from our local neighborhood Facebook group about Kat and Blizzard Manning and thought since we still haven’t found Salem after three days and two storms then it wouldn’t hurt to give them a shot! Kat and Blizzard came out the evening we contacted them and got right to work. When they got to our house they were very nice and asked for Salem’s bed to get scent. They got permission from our neighbors to let Blizzard search around the backyards surrounding our house. After just a little bit of time they found Salem! She was under a neighbors shed and was scared to come out but we got her that night!

In sum, it only took Kat and Blizzard an evening to find Salem. Blizzard picked up her scent and got right to work! Both of them are very nice and professional! Without their guidance and help we would not have Salem screaming at us for food as I’m typing this out! We are beyond grateful for
Kat and Blizzard!

This is from Tanners dad

I can’t say enough great things about Kat Manning and Dog Gone Detectives! Her dog tracking services was so amazing in how quickly they were able to find Tanner after being lost for four days and nights. We had scoured the surrounding neighborhoods, posted flyers, did on line posts with Facebook, Nextdoor, Ring, etc for hours each day and did not get a single hit. I felt my chances of finding him slowly slipping away. I didn’t want to get my hopes up too much but when they were able to come out so quickly, it gave me a some much needed hope. I’m still amazed after four days that they were able to find him so quickly and reunite me with him. It’s my early Christmas miracle. Thanks again to Dog Gone Detectives and Kat Manning.

Best, Robert Nunan

This is a testimonial from a client

Hello, we had lost our Yorkshire Terrier and were not able to locate him on our own. We decided to look for a canine to track our dog's scent in hopes to find him nearby. We needed help desperately! We found Dog Gone Detectives and called Kat right away. She answered immediately and was very kind and helpful. She was two hours away and that did not deter her from lending her assistance. Kat came with her canine right away. As soon as her and her dog arrived, they were very kind and professional. We have other animals in our home and their scents would have been on our missing dogs toys and bedding. As they are normally all together. That was not a problem for the Dog Gone Detectives. Twister, the canine tracker was able to smell our dog and pick up only his scent (As my other animals never came outside, our missing dogs scent was the only one left on the trail outside). Twister immediately picked up our dogs scent and went on the hunt for him. It was amazing watching this animal be able to do her job. We followed behind letting Twister lead us in the direction our pup went. Unfortunately the scent was dropped at a nearby house. Twister was not able to locate our dog because he was no longer there but she was able to locate where he was last at. Almost two weeks later we received a message from a company over an hour away from our home. Our baby was found because he had a microchip, registered and reported. Never the less Twister, the canine tracker was right on point. Our dog is a 3-pound Yorkie who would have never made it that far on his own. He had to be picked up and moved. Which is what the people who had him admitted to. Twister had it right. Twister was very professional and so was her handler. I pray i never need these services again but if I do they would be the first people I call. If you need help finding your animals, these people are the best! Not only are they professional in their services they offer, with a highly trained canine but they were compassionate in our time of distress. I can not thank them enough for their service.

Thank you,

Welcome home Tanner. I really don’t know how you made it through the freezing temperatures last night but thank God you did.
4 days without food and shelter but you were so happy to come to me when Twister found you.

Welcome home Piper!!
You were too tiny to be crossing the highway and staying out all night.
I’m so glad the nice lady picked you up and put you in a box to keep you safe.
Tell mommy you need a tag on your collar.
Good job Twister!!

Welcome home Gravy!!

Gravy was being boarded and slipped his lead while being walked.
He had been out for 3 days when Courtney and Twister got to the scene to track him. They figured out what area he was hiding in and told the owners where to set a trap. Apparently they flushed little Gravy out and some good  samaritan picked him up and posted him on Paw Boost.

Welcome home Jasper!!
He had been in the brush by the creek for 2 days and Twister went right to him.
I heard him bark and thought his leash was tangled and couldn’t move but nope, he was just sitting there and let his dad slowly get to him and pick him up.

If you’ve lost a pet don’t let this weather stop you from scheduling a search. The rain actually helps with the scent.
