Any animal owner will tell you that their beloved pet going missing is one of their greatest fears. However that nightmare turned into a month-long reality for Laura Nekooie when her rescue dog Lola broke loose from her lead on October 11.
The one-year-old pup had only been living with her new family at their home in Stockport for three weeks when she became startled by a loud bang while on a walk and ran away, the Manchester Evening News reports. Laura was left distraught by her pup's disappearance and contacted Greater Manchester Lost Dog (GMLD) Search & Rescue Capture Team who immediately stepped in to assist the situation.
The team set up cameras and a series of food stations across the local area and Lola was spotted several times over the following weeks at a variety of locations - but volunteers were unsuccessful in catching her each time. However, CCTV footage later revealed that Lola wasn't travelling alone on her journeys, as she had struck up an unlikely, yet adorable, friendship with a wild fox.
