A beloved family dog has been stolen by two thugs after they assaulted its owner in a park in Edinburgh before speeding off in a car. Three-year-old labrador Echo was taken by the pair after they had pushed owner Lorraine, 55, to the ground in Leith Links in the capital.
Police are now hunting the men and appealing for help following the attack which has left Lorraine 'shaken', according to her family. Daughter Cara Gordon, 27, has told how the entire family has been left heartbroken by Echo's disappearance.
The two men who stole the dog have been described as wearing dark clothes and face coverings when they attacked Lorraine at around 1pm on Sunday, November 6. The men were believed to have been driving a silver or grey car.
