A man has been left "worried sick" after his dog was stolen from a Glasgow McDonald's while he was buying it a treat.
Alasdair, who owns Doberman-cross, Link, had tied him up outside the takeaway in the early hours of Sunday, April 16. He says he was fetching the seven-year-old pooch chicken nuggets for being a "good boy" before he returned to see that Link was gone.
An eye-witness told Alasdair that a man had untied Link and ran with him towards King Street in the city centre, where he was last seen. Heartbroken Alasdair says he has been left "worried sick" from the theft and is desperately appealing to members of the public to help bring him home.
Speaking to Glasgow Live, Alasdair said: "He has been my rock for seven years. I've looked after him through sickness and in health. He has a rare genetic condition that requires a lot of medical care, and without question he has gotten the care he needed every single time.
"I’m worried sick he’s such a big personality and my life revolves around him."
Alasdair's online Facebook appeal has been shared on 'Lost Dogs in Glasgow' over one-thousand times.
He continued: "It's been so touching the amount of support and kindness from everyone."
Link is described as having a black and tan-coloured coat. Anyone with information on the dog's whereabouts is urged to contact Alasdair on 07441451835.
