Dash to the rescue

Hannah Crowther’s springer spaniel Meg went missing

A gentle Sunday walk turned into a vanishing act when Hannah Crowther’s springer spaniel Meg went missing.

Helped by Claire Crowther, her sister in law, a detailed search with mountain rescue failed to trace elusive Meg.

Said Claire: “But today (Tuesday) I took my Hungarian wirehaired vizsla, Dash, on the search, and he found her in an old dyke where she was stuck.

“I'm so over the moon - we had started losing hope after three days and nights looking.”
