Having read the whole thread today, I have a couple of thoughts. Ifthe dog was found with the leash attached, then it is possible that Elisa was out walking the dog early on Sunday morning, along the cliff tops. She may have slipped and fallen down the cliff. Insofar as the leash attached is concerned - may dog owner allow a well behaved dog to run along without holding the leash, but with the leash trailing. If the dog witnessed its owner falling, then of course it would be distressed, and if the owner was out of sight (falling down a cliff), then the dog would be likely to wander, in a distressed state to a familiar area, whether it be a neighbour's yard or close to a neighbour, trying to get help. If this occurred, then she was likely washed out to sea, or trapped by rocks. I am glad the divers have been called in.
As a crazy animal lover, I would leash my dog until I came to a safe area and then let him off leash, and tuck the leash in my pocket so he would not trip or tangle. Labs are incredibly smart and have a brilliant sense of smell, consequently used to detect drug/bomb/quarantine activities. I'm surprised the lab didn't make it straight back to the home address.
