THE owner of a small dog is appealing for help from the public after he went missing at the weekend.

Dougie, whose owner lives in Birlingham, near Pershore, went missing in a field between Eckington Bridge and Birlingham on Sunday 9th April at about 11:30am.

He is described as small, with very light brown and long shaggy hair. Dougie has his right ear sticking up most of the time.

The mixed terrier has epilepsy, meaning it is essential that he takes his medication twice a day which makes it extremely important that he can get safely home as soon as possible.

Dougie is a very friendly dog who will follow anyone, which concerns the owner as he may have tried to follow someone home.

Anyone with any information as to Dougie's whereabouts is asked to contact Amber Butler by email at amber91@btinternet.com.
