A happy-go-lucky rescue dog who handed herself in to a police station had been spooked by a firework. Border Collie Rosie was out walking with owner Steve Harper, 68, at Southfields Park near Loughborough town centre at around 4pm on November 4 when they heard a loud bang.
Mr Harper’s wife Julie, 62, told the PA news agency: “Someone let off a firework and Rosie does not like loud bangs. Rosie ran back to my husband but, before he could put the lead back on, another firework went off and she just shot off.
"My husband was upset and very distressed.” Mrs Harper said Rosie loves “chasing squirrels” and “fetching balls”, but “hates bonfire night".
