Britain’s most famous huntswoman has been reunited with her whippet dogs after enlisting the help of mediums in a desperate bid to get them back after five days.
Influencer Callie Coles, 42, known as the ‘Huntswoman of Instagram’, turned to mediums and prayer during the terrible ordeal that she shared with her 1.1million followers.
The dogs ‘ran off’ during a walk in the grounds of Mrs Coles’s Devon farmhouse near Roadford Lake.
During the five ‘excruciating’ days, she spoke to mediums Mary Mack – who specialises in talking to animals and telepathy – and Camilla Munro.
She said: ‘I prayed to God. I prayed to Saint Anthony. I even prayed to San Judas Tadeo. I prayed hard.’
After looking ‘everywhere’, walking ‘miles and miles’ and calling up vets and dog wardens, Mrs Coles’s desperate prayers were finally answered and her whippets came home to her.
She said in an emotional Instagram post: ‘These past five days have been excruciating. I wouldn’t wish it on anyone. Not ever.
‘Thank you for all of your love and helpful advice. I so appreciated it. Even if I don’t always reply. It’s been utterly overwhelming if I’m totally honest.

Mrs Coles took to Instagram to thank the Mary Mack – who claims she can speak to animals and is telepathic – and Camilla Munro
‘The girls are shattered. And a bit traumatised. But they’re alive and THEY’RE HOME. And they’ve eaten three packs of organic, grass fed steak mince!
‘Looking forward to getting some sleep tonight.
‘Thank you again. Phew.’
She said that her white and brown whippet Marmalade was her ‘best friend’ who ‘is rarely further than a few feet away from me’.
The brown whippet that went missing with Marmalade is her husband Toby’s dog and sometimes runs off for half an hour so wears a tracker, which ended up not working while they were missing.
Medium influencer Mary Mack owns her own whippets and claimed she is telepathic on her Instagram, saying, ‘I can speak to insects, I can speak to mammals, reptiles.
‘It is very, very, very much real.’
She is now selling online courses on ‘how to communicate with animals, trees, anything living’.
One commenter on Mrs Coles’s initial post about the missing dogs appears to have suggested yesterday that Ms Mack should ‘connect with them to find out where they are’.
Ms Mack replied: ‘Happy to!! I will try later when I have some time’.
In one recent post, she said she spoke to a cat called Mr Red who was feeling a bit off, according to her owner.
Mr Red apparently told her that he didn’t like the ‘pungent’ smell of oranges that the owner’s mother had been eating, and that he hated foxes.
Camilla Munro’s mediumship is more based around astrology but she also offers readings where she claims she can give her customers spiritual guidance.
Relieved friends and fans flooded the comment section of Mrs Coles’s post announcing the dogs’ return.

Pottery influencer Jena Bedson with 159,000 followers said: ‘This post has made my day. I felt so broken-hearted for you, knowing firsthand how it feels to lose your beloved pet. I never did see my beautiful 10-year-old little guy again.
‘I now have a sweet 17-year-old whippet cross, she is such a shining light.
‘Blessings to you all.’
Artist influencer Ruth Watt with 96,000 followers commented: ‘Thank f**k for that! Excuse my language.
‘Meant to comment earlier my dismay for you’s! So so glad you’re together again. Nothing worse than the worry and not knowing.’
Mrs Coles created her Instagram page as a ‘memory’ box’ for her children Jesse, Merlin, Pippin and Peregrine.
She said she had never intended to reach social media fame, calling the whole affair a ‘happy accident’ after a computer crash erased years of family photos.
The family’s four-bed home at Woodley Park Farm which also includes two separate two-bed homes and 24 acres of land was recently placed on the market for £875,000.
Last year, she wrote movingly on Instagram about her sorrow at her beloved horse Warrior’s sudden death from a heart attack during a drag hunt.
Describing witnessing Warrior’s final moments, Callie posted: ‘Kneeling beside you in the mud. It was the unthinkable happening, the thing I had most dreaded.
‘A heart attack in the midst of doing what you loved. Hounds running.
‘The whicker of affection from your laboured nostril intended to reassure even as you died. I have to remember the joy that you brought into my day, for nine years. Almost a quarter of my life.

‘You gave me such confidence, sitting up behind those periscope ears – you changed my life.
‘You singled me out and I was yours. You tenderly nannied the children despite your tendencies for overexuberance.
‘You looked to me for love and sought me out. I feel truly honoured. My broken heart will hold you in it until we meet again. I owe you everything. I love you.’
