Family is reunited with pet dog months later

The pet, a schnauzer, was feared to be snatched from Wallisdean Avenue, Fareham, on August 8.

A desperate appeal was launched, with the dog’s owners putting up posters around Fareham, and their Facebook page was shared hundreds of times.

The dog was returned safe and well to the family on January 21.

A post on the page said: ‘Lola is home, happy and well. We thank everyone for their support but some people now want more. Some of this is understandable but we are unable to give details.

‘All we ask is to just let us enjoy the moment and not have hurtful remarks posted.

‘Please just be happy in the thought that you have all helped when it was needed.’
