TWO DOGS which disappeared from the back of their owner’s van in a car park in Castleford, West Yorks are feared to have been stolen.

The brindle and white, two and a half year old Shih Tzu bitch and her 18 month old companion, a white and brown docked Jack Russell bitch - described as quite leggy - vanished on the afternoon of Sunday, July 4th.

The disappearance of these two much loved pets has devastated their owner and anyone having information leading to their return, for which a reward is offered, is asked to call Mrs Laura Lucas on 01977 703268 mobile 07919 678067.
