Great news!
A dog which went missing in Standish on Christmas Eve sparking a frantic search has made his way home for Christmas Day.
Little Reggie, the black and tan Dachshund, went missing while out on a stroll with his owners on Beech Walk yesterday afternoon when he became lost.
After an initial search, a social media appeal went out prompting a flurry of sightings of Reggie as darkness drew in - but they all proved to be a dead end.
But ahead of a search resuming this morning - with another sighting today - Reggie made his own way back home for Christmas, with his owners hearing him whimpering on their doorstep at 6.30am.
His owner said: “He was spotted early this morning wandering around Beech Walk. Lorraine went out to look for him, but she missed him and he found his way home, wandering into the back garden and crying at the back door around 6.30am!
“He’s had some food and is now having a bath. He seems to be unscathed, thank God!
“Thank you so so so much to every single person that helped try to find him yesterday, from our friends and family to the amazing residents of Standish and beyond who we don’t even know who came out on a Christmas Eve to try and find the little fella.
“We will forever be grateful to you all.
“Please can everyone share this post so people know he has been found. And can every single one of you have an amazing Christmas, and once again, thank you ❤️!”
Great news, thanks to everyone on Standish Voice and other pages for sharing the initial post. Happy Christmas! 🎅
