At just 18 months family pet Rua had become a lifeline for her family, but now she is missing, leaving her owners distraught and desperate for news.
The golden labradoodle, joined the Bonnes family in Randalstown, as a puppy and quickly created new possibilities, especially for their son who has autism.
But life was thrown into chaos and fear with the disappearance of Rua on July 14. Now mum Ciarrai, a social worker, is co-ordinating searches with the help of friends and family and the team at Lost Paws NI, a charity that works specifically to help reunite lost and found pets throughout Northern Ireland.
