A mum said her children are crying themselves to sleep after she discovered one of the family's dogs was missing from their kitchen.
Samantha Black, from Prescot, said she was getting her house ready for her daughter's fourth birthday, on May 27, when they made the heartbreaking discovery their miniature Yorkshire Terrier Kobe was missing.
The mum of three told the ECHO: "A friend who was coming to do the sweet table [for the party] was there setting up. When she had finished we helped her to the car with the sweets and I looked back and saw my two dogs in the kitchen a couple of seconds before."
