A "cheeky" feline has been reunited with its family today after surviving a terrifying 6.5-mile journey from North Shields to a council depot in Killingworth while underneath the bonnet of a school minibus.
Council officers from North Tyneside Council say the moral of the story for animal lovers is to ensure their pets are microchipped to make happy endings like this more likely.
The two-year-old tabby, Olive, disappeared from her home in Roxburgh Terrace, Whitley Bay, on April 8, leaving owner Heba Rahman devastated.
