We've got the kid back! My hunch was right. I took Porter out at the crack of dawn and we had another go at looking for her on the towpath. This time we started from her dad's office in Banbury - which is where I reckoned she'd be making for - and walked back towards Oxford. Sure enough, we met her - tired and footsore, but safe enough. She'd slept in a field overnight and carried on walking the next day. I hope her dad apreciates it. And I hope her mum realises that the clean break idea just isn't going to work.
