Police searching for a Scots mum have recovered the body of her dog she was reportedly trying to save before she was swept away in a river.
Hazel Nairn was last seen in the water at the River Don, near Monymusk, Aberdeenshire, on Friday afternoon as the region was battered by heavy rain. The 71-year-old had been trying to get home with her beloved dog when tragedy struck and she ended up being washed away.
Officers have now confirmed the body of the dog was found near the river on Wednesday. Police are continuing their efforts to find the much-loved grandmother with the specialist Dive and Marine unit drafted in to help.
