A COUPLE are appealing for people in Evesham to be on the lookout for their missing dog.

Matty, a type of lurcher, ran away from her home in Hampton on Bonfire night after her owners, Deirdre and John Sutton, say she was spooked by fireworks.

Mrs Sutton said: "She is terrified of people, and is very unlikely to answer to her name, but she is such a gentle creature she would never bite or snap at anyone. She was once a street dog, so I think she will just keep on running, so she could be miles away by now. We just hope she comes home."

If you see her, call 01386 442307 or 07808 311272.
