An Aberdeen footballer's dog is still missing after a 17-car pile up on the A92 near the Bridge of Muchalls last week.
Dons defender Hayden Coulson, who is on loan from Middlesbrough, is still searching for his German Shepherd Zola after ran from a car involved in the collision around 12.40pm last Friday.
She has not yet been found. Specialist volunteers from the Lost Dog Trapping Team have been using drone and thermal imaging searches to try and find the beloved pet.
A post shared on behalf of the player's dad by podcast Ren Tinted Glasses asked people in the area to keep an eye out for her as the family are desperate to bring her back home.
Local Facebook page Fubar News has also been aiding the search, requesting that anyone who spots Zola contact them as soon as possible but not to approach her.
They said: "Sadly Zola is still missing. Her family were involved in the multiple RTA at Bridge of Muchalls on Friday afternoon and had escaped their car.
"She was sighted at the weekend & a 'possible' sighting yesterday at Portlethen.
"If anyone sees her please message in and we will give you her owners contact phone number. It's imperative that you DON'T put her location on any fb posts or in comments on this post as this compromises her safety.
