A FRANTIC dog lover today appealed for people to join in the hunt for a dog which escaped from her home just two days after being collected from the RSPCA shelter in Altham by her new owner Stella Humphries, of Derby Street, Accrington.

Stella now believes Daisy the border collie cross, the last of a litter of four to be rehoused after being tied up to a tree in Great Harwood and discovered terrified and hungry by RSPCA officers, is hiding in a garage, shed or ditch.

Anyone with any information can call the Hyndburn dog warden on 01254 388111, the police or Stella, on 01254 386432.
