Dog experts have weighed in on why missing mum Nicola Bulley's spaniel was pacing between the gate to a nearby field and the bench where her owner's phone was found.
Nicola, 45, was last seen walking her beloved springer spaniel Willow near the River Wyre in St Michael's on Wyre, Lancashire, on January 27.
Police said Willow was found "bone dry" and running between the gate and the bench, without a harness or lead.
